The band has finished all instrumental and vocal tracks for two songs! The songs are tentatively titled "Transformation Staircase" and "Trickery of the Scourge".

Sessions took place at Horacio's studio in La Puente and the band was very pleased with the results.

A preliminary mix of one of the songs will be made available on the band's Myspace site in the near future. The songs are similar in nature to material from "The Goddess Principle" and "Dark Hallucinations"

The band is also starting rehearsals for their appearance at the 2008 Swordbrothers Festival September 13th, in Andernach,Germany. Steel Prophet is the Headline Act for the festival.

Things are progressing nicely so far. We have drum and guitar parts for nine songs and guitar parts for three more. Vocal melodies and lyrics are coming along. We hope to have those finished and start recording very soon.

On a sadder note we'd like to observe the loss of David Wayne, the great singer of Metal Church fame. Here's what guitarist Steve Kachinsky had to say:

As many of you have probably heard David Wayne passed away yesterday from complications arising from a car accident he was involved in not long ago. David was the singer on the classic Metal Church debut album as well as many others. I had the pleasure to meet David at Silver Cloud Studios in Burbank when he was recording the Wayne bands album entitled strangely enough 'Metal Church'. We spoke for a while about metal (he knew some Steel Prophet's work), what a great album the first Metal Church was, and strangely enough our cross collections. David didn't have one on at the time, but commented on mine and told me he had lots of them and described a few of them! What I took away from the conversation was that he was very passionate about heavy metal music. I guess I am too. Sometimes I think people take it too seriously, but it's emotional and stirs the senses. When it's good, it's my favorite kind of music without a doubt. Anyway, R.I.P. Mr. Wayne. Along with Guy Speranza, JD Kimball, Paul Bailoff, Dave Pritchard, Cliff Burton and others, Metal has lost another of it's favorite sons.

The wait is over! Known for his work with Agent Steel, Bruce Hall has been announced as the band's new vocalist! He's been rehearsing with the band and everything sounds great!

The band also anounce they are no longer managed by Intromental Management, so direct any inquiries to our 'Contact' page!
