Metal Christmas everyone!
december, 2011

The season time is here and as most prepare to take it slow for a while, Steel Mill offers more fuel to the engines lightning up the darkness!

Our guests tonight are Finland's legendary Waltari! Vocalist Kärtsy Hatakka sat down with Pete Alander for a long interview on various happenings with the band. The interview is spiced with two reviews, first for their latest "Covers All"-album and second on their successful 25th anniversary concert in Helsinki.

K.K. of course wraps the year 2011 up and looks forward to 2012 in his new blog!

A new Defender Of The Faith profile is also up, this time around featuring Andy Berry from Hampshire, UK!

To round things up we have a recent Saxon/Anvil concert scrutinized in our Review-section.

More updates to follow soon so check back on site and keep feeding the flames!

DECEMBER, 2011

Season's greetings to everyone!

Wow! Where did that year go? Anyway, I think that you will agree that it was another great festival year and metal has been in full flight once again.
Please feel free to write in to Steel Mill and tell us about your particular highlights and the band that you thought were great and why!

It's great to hear that Sabbath are gearing up for something special next year, in addition I suspect that there will be many other great things that will come to fruition in 2012.

But for now I just want to wish you the best festive season that you have ever had.
As always I am indebted to the loyal millworkers for all of their hard work and dedication to me and to metal.

And it goes without saying that without you the loyal fans to metal, there would not be a metal world at all!
Until we meet again keep feeding the flames that keep the metal furnaces alive and burning.

My love and respect will forever be there for you all! Where ever you may be.

	JARI ASELL Judas Priest - The Chosen Few Nuff said! www.judaspriest.com
	KASSU KORTELAINEN Machine Head - Unto The Locust Their best album so far and one of this year's strongest metal packages. Stuff like 'Locust' and 'Darkness Within' are instant highlights and there's plenty more to explore and enjoy. Priest fans should also note that the bonus edition includes a fine cover of "The Sentinel". www.machinehead1.com
	KIMMO TATTARI Jethro Tull - Christmas Album One of those rare Christmas records that I still play every Christmas. Combining rock and Christmas music isn't an easy task, but here Jethro Tull have succeeded quite nicely. www.j-tull.com
	VILLE KRANNILA UFO – Lights Out Time to dig up this classic album from nearly 35 years back! It’s now mostly remembered by legendary anthems such as “Too Hot To Handle” and “Lights Out” plus one of the finest hard rock ballads ever recorded: “Love To Love.” But the record also contains some rare gems in the shape of “Electric Phase” and “Try Me.” The digital remaster sounds excellent, with every nuance of Michael Schenker’s elegant guitar playing, Pete Way’s bass lines and Phil Mogg’s unmistakable vocals clear and upfront. UFO are still going strong and will have a new release “Seven Deadly” out early next year. www.ufo-music.info/
	PETE ALANDER Billy Idol - Happy Holidays Merry Xmas everyone and a happy new year fellow metal heads!. www.joulupukki.fi
