STEEL PANTHER Announces 15th-Anniversary Edition Of Debut Album 'Feel The Steel', Anniversary Tour

July 16, 2024

For some folks, 2009 will be remembered as the year pop-legend Michael Jackson passed away, Quentin Tarantino released "Inglourious Basterds" or the year "Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" was released. For everyone else, 2009 will be the year that California metal maestros STEEL PANTHER burst on to the music scene with their debut album "Feel The Steel". The spandex-clad quartet took the world by storm with the release of their debut single "Death To All But Metal" — an anthem that called out the evils of the pop music world while shouting the anthemic line "heavy metal's back." Songs like "Asian Hooker", "Community Property" and "Girl From Oklahoma" won over fans and critics alike. The debut album also featured guest appearances by Corey Taylor of SLIPKNOT, M. Shadows of AVENGED SEVENFOLD, Justin Hawkins of THE DARKNESS, and Scott Ian of ANTHRAX. The BBC reviewed the album upon original release stating: "Quite simply, 'Feel The Steel' is an utter feelgood masterpiece."

The 15th-anniversary edition features two tracks that were only released on the original Japanese import: "You Don't Make Me Feel Dumb" and "I Want Your Tits". The album was produced by Jay Ruston (ANTHRAX, COREY TAYLOR) and sounds as timeless today as it did when originally released on June 8, 2009.

"Feel The Steel - 15th Anniversary Edition" will be released worldwide on November 15. Fans can order "Feel The Steel 15th Anniversary Edition" in various configurations at www.SteelPanther.com, including CD, vinyl, a cassette version (available via STEEL PANTHER web site only) and exclusive merch designs.

The California glam metal jokesters recently announced the final batch of headline dates in the U.S. as part of their "On The Prowl" world tour 2024. The band will return to the road in the United States on August 23 in Buffalo, New York and continue through September 14, where it will wrap up in Jacksonville, North Carolina.

Formed in 2000, STEEL PANTHER specializes in imitating and exaggerating the less flattering aspects of 1980s hair metal, with unrepentantly crude, non-PC sexual content as a favorite lyrical theme.

The group's music has been described as "VAN HALEN meets MÖTLEY CRÜE meets RATT meets 'Wayne's World', complete with operatic shrieks, misogyny, shredding guitar solos and libidinal overdrive."

Sixteen years ago, STEEL PANTHER changed its name from METAL SKOOL to its current moniker and shifted the focus of its act from '80s metal covers to originals.

STEEL PANTHER's sixth studio album, "On The Prowl", was released in February 2023.

In September 2022, STEEL PANTHER announced the addition of Spyder as the band's new bassist.
