Pure Steel Records
2010

Icy Steel is a power metal group coming from Italy. The metal of the group is traditional and epic. “As The Gods Command” is their second album. The lyrics are dealing with magic, mystery and mythology. Their style can be approach from groups such as Manilla Road, Manowar and other groups which are coming from the 80s. The vocalist Stefano Galeano has the right voice for this kind of music. He has a nice, a rather high pitch voice, pleasant to listen. The compositions are melodious and melodic with nice instrumental passages and nice instrumental tracks such as “The Persistance Of Time”. The riffs are rather fast and you will find a lot of soli in the songs. You have an acoustic “There Was Once A Weeping Willow” is nice to end this album. Besides the group has a lot of influences that can hear in the songs.
It is a long album but you won’t get bored when you’re listening to it. “As The Gods Command” is a good album, nothing more, nothing less.
