Steeler band description;

Steeler is an American heavy metal band that was formed in 1982 by guitarist Rik Fox. The band was based in Los Angeles and was one of the early pioneers of the U.S. power metal scene. Steeler's original lineup consisted of Fox on guitar, vocalist Ron Keel, bassist Yenz Cheyenne, and drummer Mark Edwards.

In 1983, Steeler released their self-titled debut album, which was well-received by fans of heavy metal and helped to establish the band's reputation as a rising force in the genre. However, despite their early success, the band experienced several lineup changes over the next few years, and their commercial success was somewhat limited.

Despite this, Steeler continued to perform and record music throughout the 1980s, and they released several more albums before disbanding in the late 1980s. In recent years, Steeler has reunited for several reunion shows and has been recognized as one of the pioneering bands of the U.S. power metal scene. Today, Steeler's music continues to be popular among fans of heavy metal and is remembered as an important part of the genre's history.
