A Documentary About STEELHEART Singer In The Works

January 26, 2009

Dana Altman of North Sea Films has given the green light to the production of "Good 2B Alive", a documentary film about singer and composer Miljenko Matijevic (STEELHEART mainman). The film will be a detailed look into the extraordinary life of Miljenko and his music; an incredible journey back to the stage after the devastating accident in Denver, Colorado during his performance at the McNichols Arena.

In 1992, on Halloween night, STEELHEART had a platinum-selling album under the band's belt and the second album was on its way to gold status when it all came to a screeching halt. A lighting truss collapsed and crushed Miljenko to the stage, removing him from the music scene and his life's passion.

This is incredible, true story of human perseverance — the resurrection of a rock star — and an inspiring journey of the human spirit; how one man keeps the faith regardless of the odds.

The producers are planning the final shoot to take place at a free festival called "Good 2B Alive", in Zagreb Croatia, Miljenko's birthplace. This festival is anticipated to be the first of many around the world to come.

STEELHEART's video for the song "LOL" can be viewed below. The track comes off the band's new album, "Good 2B Alive", which was released on November 11, 2008.

According to a press release, "Miljenko Matijevic has taken rock music to a whole new level. Fusing the past, present and the future together, he has created an undeniable piece of art. Matijevic's vocals are better than ever, every song takes you on a journey; a journey that paints a portrait of his life and in doing so enables the listener to feel the song as if it were his own. A voice full of passion, power and depth, this is one album that seriously rocks. The album consists of everything from raw heavy guitars to a full orchestra which was recorded at Sky Walker Sound. Written, produced, designed and conceived by himself, he truly has embarked on a new beginning."

STEELHEART performed at last year's Rocklahoma festival on July 13 at the Catch The Fever Festival Grounds, four miles north of Pryor, Oklahoma.
