Mit dem SCALA verbindet SACRED STEEL eine lange Geschichte. Hier fand bereits 1997 die Release Party zum ersten Album "Reborn In Steel" statt und es folgten denkwürdige Shows zu zahlreichen der weiteren Alben. Zuletzt wurde der Clusssche Saalbau an der Stuttgarter Strasse im Jahr 2016 zum Beben gebracht. 9 Jahre später haben wir uns mit ATTIC, KNIFE und UNDER RUINS noch prominente Unterstützung ins Boot geholt. Alle vier Bands verbindet eine lange Freundschaft und die bedingungslose Liebe zum Old School Heavy Metal. Ein Abend für die Heavy Metal Geschichtsbücher in Ludwigsburg, den sich niemand entgehen lassen sollte!

Tickets gibt es noch bei Reservix und Eventim oder an der Abendkasse!

SACRED STEEL has a long history with SCALA. The release party for the first album ‘Reborn In Steel’ took place here back in 1997 and memorable shows for many of the other albums followed. The last time we shook this time-honoured venue was in 2016. 9 years later, we have brought prominent support on board with ATTIC, KNIFE and UNDER RUINS. All four bands share a long friendship and an unconditional love of old school heavy metal. An evening for the heavy metal history books in Ludwigsburg that nobody should miss!

Tickets are still available from Reservix or Eventim or at the evening box office.

"DEMON WITCH POSSESSION" in brand new video single unleashed!

Following the previously-released album tracks, "The Watcher Infernal" and the heavy-as-hell title track "Ritual Supremacy", we unleash "DEMON WITCH POSSESSION", our latest furious single accompanied by an official music video!

"This littla ditty is quite catchy! Even though it's fast and furious. We wanted for once start a track with the chorus directly and that's what we did here" Gerrit reveals. "I recently watched the full season of "Ash vs. The Evil Dead" again and remembered that I once took the inspiration for the lyrics to this track from that phenomenal series! All hail Ash!"

Beware of the witch and listen to this fast slasher right now here: https://sacredsteel.rpm.link/demon

Full Album "Ritual Supremacy” to arrive on 25 April 2025 via ROAR - a division of RPM.

Check out our brand new video single "The Watcher Infernal" from the upcoming album!!!

Gerrit states: "The beautiful lyric video should speak quite for itself, I guess. The lyrics are written from the perspective of Lucifer, the scapegoat for all things evil on this planet. He's fed up with being the one to blame and points the finger on humanity instead. I think he is right on that one! Musically it's a different beast compared to the title track that we have already showcased. More Sabbath-y and not as aggressive. But nevertheless with a slightly more pissed off attitude, haha."

This pure and epic heavy metal track is now available on all streaming services at: https://sacredsteel.rpm.link/watcherFB

Here it finally is! The title track of our upcoming studio album "RITUAL SUPREMACY"!! Enjoy!!!

We chose this to be the 1st single because a) it´s the title track and b) it´s the heaviest track on the album. It´s always good to be back with a bang, right? Lyrically it's about the fact that we all try to differentiate ourselves from others by looking for our own space, our refuge. As metalheads we have found this refuge in the community of other metalheads and within our music. Unfortunately, there are also negative cults in this world and we stand against them with all our might! That´s what the cover art refers to.

SACRED STEEL - announce new studio album “Ritual Supremacy” and sign new record deal with ROAR!

In April 2025, we will release our 10th album “Ritual Supremacy”, which will be celebrated with a performance at the 25th anniversary of the “Keep It True Festival” and many more shows. The album is also the first to feature new members Toni Ieva (bass) and Jörn Langenfeld (guitar), who joined the band in 2023.

“Ritual Supremacy” will be released by our new label partner ROAR (Grave Digger, Holy Moses, Tailgunner and others), whose managing director Jochen Richert, Markus Wosgien (label management) and Lambros Kokkinos (product management) are long-time scene veterans. “These are people we've known for ages and who have been supplying you and us with the stuff we all can't and don't want to live without for at least as long: high-quality heavy metal releases,” Sacred Steel is pleased to say, and: ”When the label A&R first had his entire Sacred Steel record collection signed at the meeting with the band, we just knew: this is the right place for us! With ROAR behind us, we are now ideally positioned to finally release our new album “Ritual Supremacy” worldwide and on a broad basis after more than 8 years since the last release.”

“As a native Swabian and friend of pure heavy metal, you are inevitably connected to Sacred Steel. You can sing along to their classics in your sleep and with a raised metal fist, and of course share unforgettable memories with the band, which has always remained true to themselves, yet continues to develop and, above all, still has something to say. “Ritual Supremacy” is a statement and will blow the mind of every true metalhead. The first single will be released in mid-January and the album will go on sale. Dress warmly,” states Markus Wosgien from ROAR.

So watch out to celebrate the supreme ritual of steel on 25 April 2025!

Cheers and HEAVY METAL TO THE END: Gerrit, Jonas, Toni, Jörn und Matze.
