On nearly all counts, the debut from Los Angeles heavy metal quartet Steeler is an unremarkable, even generic release; but what makes the album important is the presence of Swedish guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen. Malmsteen's playing - which would later gain greater notoriety in the context of Alcatrazz and his own band Rising Force - was nothing short of a revolution in guitar circles at the time of Steeler's release. For any fan of the shred guitar/neo-classical genre of guitar rock, this album is an absolute must-have!
