Surgical Steel- Metal From America

The band’s first recording, “Rivet Head,” appeared on the Metal Massacre II compilation from Metal Blade Records. Their friendship with Rob Halford (Judas Priest, Fight) led to collaborations, including dual lead vocals on “Smooth and Fast” and backing vocals on “Bedtime Baby.”

While “Rivet Head” was their heaviest track, the rest of their catalog leaned toward melodic metal in the vein of Scorpions, Judas Priest (Turbo era), and mid-’80s Pretty Maids.
