Description
Up until 1984, Memphis, Tennessee hadn’t exactly been a hot-bed of activity as far as quality metal went, but if this little E.P. is anything to go by then that was about to change. Medieval Steel formed as a five-piece back in 1982 and it took them a couple of years to get this debut release out there. Frustratingly though, it would be their only release for a full two decades with their debut full-length not seeing the light of day until 2014. That’s right… TWENTY YEARS people. And what makes that even more frustrating is that on the evidence we hear on their first-up effort, Medieval Steel may well have gone on to become household names in the underground metal scene had they kicked on. In fact, this short four-song E.P. may last no more than a mere 16 minutes but in that time it manages to achieve an impact that far out-weighs it’s minimal duration.
