Insights from the Band
In my interview with Red Steel, the enthusiasm and passion in their voices were palpable. Notably, the band features the sons of Trond Holter and Øystein Greaker-Andersen from the glam rock band Wig Wam, who are carving out their own distinct musical identity with Red Steel.
The band draws inspiration from acts like Ghost and Bring Me the Horizon, focusing on melody, groove, and energy. Their music amalgamates influences from the 80s rock era with a theatrical flair reminiscent of vintage metal. Their first track encapsulates this unique approach—catchy, groove-oriented, and vocally striking. Red Steel understands that live performances go beyond technical perfection; they aim to deliver an engaging spectacle, incorporating make-up and masks while performing a blend of original songs and creative covers.
Future Aspirations
Looking ahead, Red Steel has ambitious plans to expand their reach beyond Norway and into the broader European market by 2026. Their debut single marks a significant first step, merging electrifying performances with radio-friendly songwriting.
