Medieval Steel - "Medieval Steel" (video)
Beyond the sands of time
Within the realm of the mind
There is a land where life and death
Are ruled by steel
Out of this land five conquering heroes
Arose to make their stand
Throughout their journey
They stake their claim
That they are the warlords
By the name Medieval Steel
There was a time long ago
When men fought for steel
The sword was worth more than gold
And easy to make the kill
Twenty years in the gallows
One slave began to rise
He fights a thousand battles
With hatred in his eyes
Medieval steel cuts you like a knife
Warriors on the battlefield
Laying down their life for steel
Then came the day he was set free
Free to roam this land
Iron will in his heart
And his sword in his hand
He began to take command
Over the mountains, through the glen
Came the king and his marching men
To fight the fight and to kill the slave
When the fight was over he was saved
Medieval steel cuts you like a knife
Warriors on the battlefield
Laying down their life for steel

Οι Medieval Steel δημιούργησαν ένα μάλλον υψηλό underground status με ένα ουσιαστικά τραγούδι: το ομώνυμο! Με ένα ep στο ενεργητικό τους ("Medieval Steel" 1984), ένα demo ("Demo '89" 1989) απολαμβάνουν φήμης, την οποία αρκετές μπάντες με μεγαλύτερη δισκογραφία δεν μπόρεσαν να κερδίσουν.
Στον 21ο αιώνα κυκλοφόρησαν δύο συλλογές ("The Dungeon Tapes" 2005, "The Anthology of Steel" 2012) και τον μοναδικό (μέχρι τώρα) "ολοκληρωμένο" τους δίσκο ("Dark Castle" 2013). Η συλλογή "The Dungeon Tapes" επανακυκλοφορεί σε λίγες ημέρες (22 Οκτωβρίου 2021) μέσω της Skol Records (σε CD) και της Lost Realm Records (σε βινύλιο)...
