Steel Attack is a power metal band from Sala, Sweden. The band started out with the style of European power metal bands, with lyrical content about epic battles, dragons, and swords, mixed with high-pitched vocals. However, with a change of the vocalist in 2003 (Ronny Hemlin), the band and the 2004 album "Enslaved" got a new "direction," both musically and lyrically. Their old power metal sound was re-wrought to be more aggressive, and the standard lyrical content of most power metal bands (dragons, swords, etc) was no longer used. Ronny brought more mystical, mature, religion-related lyrics, in order to fit the band's new heavier sound.
With the 2006 release "Diabolic Symphony", the band developed further to include more progressive metal elements. Diabolic Symphony is their most diverse album to date. New to the album was the use of keyboards, which helped to take a big step forward in creating a bigger, epic sound.
