Steel Prophet

Steel Prophet is an American power metal band that has been striking the anvil of the heavy metal scene since their formation in the mid-1980s. Hailing from Middletown, Connecticut, this group is well-regarded for its consistent delivery of technical expertise and complex thematic content, often delving into prophecy, science fiction, and fantasy. Led by the founding guitarist Steve Kachinsky Blackmoor, who is recognized for his intricate riffing and compositional prowess, Steel Prophet has consistently upheld the tradition of power metal through waves of musical trends and shifts.

The group came into a more significant spotlight with albums released during the 1990s, where their unique blend of American power metal with touches of thrash and classic metal earned them a dedicated following. Notably, albums like "Dark Hallucinations" (1999), which received critical praise for its adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s "Fahrenheit 451," displayed their ability to transcend typical genre boundaries. Despite numerous lineup changes over the decades, Steel Prophet has shown resilience and the enduring ability to produce quality music. The commitment to their art is evident in their latest album "The God Machine" (2019), which reflects the band's continuous effort to evolve while preserving the core elements that have characterized their sound—an intense vocal performance, robust guitar work, and intricate storytelling.
