For some folks, 2009 will be remembered as the year pop legend Michael Jackson passed away, Quentin Tarantino released “Inglourious Basterds” or the year “Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” was released.
For everyone else, 2009 will be the year that California metal maestros Steel Panther burst onto the music scene with their debut album “Feel The Steel”. The spandex-clad quartet took the world by storm with the release of their debut single “Death To All But Metal” — an anthem that called out the evils of the pop music world while shouting the anthemic line “heavy metal’s back.” Songs like “Asian Hooker”, “Community Property” and “Girl From Oklahoma” won over fans and critics alike. The debut album also featured guest appearances by Corey Taylor of Slipknot, M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, Justin Hawkins of The Darkness, and Scott Ian of Anthrax.
The 15th-anniversary edition features two tracks that were only released on the original Japanese import: “You Don’t Make Me Feel Dumb” and “I Want Your Tits”. The album was produced by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Corey Taylor) and sounds as timeless today as it did when originally released on June 8, 2009.
“Feel The Steel – 15th Anniversary Edition” will be released worldwide on November 15.
