美国Epic Power Metal乐队，组建于1980年。
Epic Metal warriors Medieval Steel have endured the test of time and the melodic heavy
metal sound they created has become legendary all over the globe. The band was formed in
Memphis, TN in the early 1980's with some of the best musicians from across the region.
In 1984, the band released a 4-song EP simply titled "Medieval Steel". This helped propel
their music all over the world and introduced them to a loyal fan base that follows them to
this very day. After the release of this EP, the band quickly grabbed the attention of record
label executives but no agreements could be reached. As a result no new material was
released for some time and the band underwent a few changes in its lineup. The strong lyric
and powerful vocal presence of the band's lead singer, Bobby Franklin, remained a constant
and Medieval Steel quickly rose again to even greater status in the local music scene than it
had ever experienced before. The new material, while staying true to the vision of what
Medieval Steel stood for, had a rawness and energy that made their live performances truly legendary.
Demo tapes of new material were recorded (though never officially released by the band), and bootleg
copies have been traded by loyal fans for many years since. The original vinyl EP is a collector's item
today. In response to an outcry for a re-emergence of the band, the group came together again and
picked up where they left off by recording "The Dungeon Tapes" in 2005. It consists of several new
recordings of never-before released music, as well as a digital re-mastering of the original Medieval
Steel EP. While the band has kept distribution of this primarily under their own control, the news of
a new Medieval Steel recording quickly spread and copies have now been sold in over 26 different
countries across the world. Currently the band is in pre-production for a third release, which will
consist of all new material.
