steel mill plays a classic style of hard rock with folk and proto-metal elements. good songwriting, good playing, good sound. should appeal to fans of jethro tull, early black sabbath, atomic rooster, andromeda, blodwyn pig, warm dust, wild turkey, dogfeet, the kissing spell label, etc. a nice under-rated find in a nice re-issue package. a bargain and highly recommended.
rise above says "Steel Mill are one of the most enigmatic bands from the original British progressive rock boom of the late 60s/early 70s. Despite scoring a continental hit with their debut 1971 single Green Eyed God, it took three years before their record company would give the cult classic full-length album of the same title a UK release. Having been released only in Germany in 1972, it still remains a mystery why it took so long to come out in their home country. Of course, by 1975 the band had long since vanished and the music scene had changed dramatically. Nowadays the Green Eyed God album is a highly regarded major rarity, having been bootlegged endlessly and fetching in excess of £1,000 for a mint UK copy.
The sound of Steel Mill on opener Blood Runs Deep is a ripping pre-metal blast typical of the time that is actually aided by the un-intrusive use of sax, at times bringing to mind early Van Der Graaf Generator. Also here are nice dynamic build-ups and refrains, with a scorching main riff to boot. There are many comparisons you could make to the Steel Mill sound but none of them could be considered as plagiarism. Dark, savage guitar riffs combine with tasteful use of woodwind, blending Jethro Tull folkiness with an early Jade Warrior style eastern feel. The heavy blues of Treadmill is a raw mix of Sabbath meets early Blue Cheer, in which the use of theatrics and chain gang chants tell the unsettling story of black slavery. The said title track, Green Eyed God, is a classic of the genre, in much the same way as Come To The Sabbat by Black Widow.
For years, collectors and experts of the period alike, have been perplexed by the lack of knowledge and information surrounding this fantastic band. Finally the story is told with this detailed release, bringing together a freshly remastered version of the original Green Eyed God album and an exciting plethora of previously unheard material. Recently discovered in the attic of Sax/Woodwind player John Challenger, were three acetate singles which contained no less than five long lost Mill tracks, recorded a year or so prior to recording of the Green Eyed God album. These tracks have been painstakingly restored and combined with original tapes from the same sessions, to create the best sound quality possible."
