BLAZE BAYLEY / DAVID REECE / DOOGIE WHITE / JOHN STEEL

JOHN STEEL (lead vocals David Reece, Doogie White) – Distorted Reality [+ 2 Bonus Albums, 2CD Set] (2022)

JOHN STEEL (the band named after the literal English translation of guitarist Ivan Stalev) are a Bulgarian traditional melodic metal band that are well known in central Europe. Having released two previous albums featuring Blaze Bayley and Doogie White respectively on lead vocals, they are now forging ahead with their third record ”Distorted Reality” featuring none other than renowned frontman David Reece (ex-Accept, Bangalore Choir, Bonfire).
But JOHN STEEL are releasing the new album in a 2-disc deluxe edition as well, including the band’s first two releases “Freedom” (Blaze Bayley all vocals) and “Everything Or Nothing” (Doogie White vocals) making this the first worldwide release of the John Steel catalog featuring the full and complete studio recordings of the band.
And all well worth the listen: this is classic, timeless metal with all the feeling and groove from the glorious era…

Since that point, he has been on excellent form, as showcased via the criminally overlooked trio of “Infinite Entanglement” albums, which climaxed with 2018’s “The Redemption of William Black”.
Three years on, “War Within Me” will doubtless be widely reviewed with endless allusions to its creator’s dogged persistence and perennial underdog status as a backdrop. But really this is a heroic and supremely confident traditional metal record, and BLAZE has never sounded more confident or fired up…
