ColdSteel
“American Idle”
2013
People always complain about remakes. Those people are usually old and have seen the original. Somehow this gives them an advantage for which they will banter on endlessly so they can seem smart but are really just being condescending. Is Cold Steel a remake? Well they are not the original but they are good. They have a passion for what they play, but if you have heard Sacred Reich and Anthrax you have heard Cold Steel. The playing is reasonably tight and the vocals are strong. While Cold Steel may have not re-inveted the wheel and be on the verge of recreating a new thrash era it is a good listen.
