After the good results of "Race Of Steel" culminated with the participation to the Swordbrother Festival in Germany the current lineup was starting to take shape in 2009 with the entry of Giuseppe Seminara on guitar, Salvo Pizzimento on bass and Antonio Portale on drums. After this, the band was playing some concerts in Italy. In 2013, five years after their debut, is released 2. album, “Regeneration”, also published by the German Pure Steel Records.
Two years later Steel Raiser was back with a new studio album released by Iron Shield Records and titled "Unstoppable". After touring and writing new stuff the 4. album "Acciaio" is ready now!

BIOGRAPHY
Steel Raiser born from an idea of two metal music lovers: Gianluca Rossi and Alfonso Giordano, which united in music and life by a strong friendship, decided to star a new adventure.
In 2007 they released their first EP titled "Gloria Perpetua" which will open the doors to the first record deal with Pure Steel Records, a German label.
In 2008 was published the first studio album entitled "Race Of Steel", well received by critics and that brings the band to perform for the first time in Germany at "Swordbrothers Festival".
After the show Gianluca and Alfonso decided to complete the line-up and transform Steel Raiser in a classic Heavy Metal band. During 2009 Giuseppe Seminara (guitar), Salvo Pizzimento (bass) and Antonio Portale (drums) join the band.
In 2013 was released "Regeneration" accompanied by the video "Love Is Unfair". Received by critics and fans marks a big step forwards for the band's career. The successor of "Regeneration" was released two years later, for the German label Iron Shield Records.
"Unstoppable" is, according to many, the best album produced by the band.
The same year is also released the promo video clip of "Decapitator", song taken from the last album.
In December 2015 Antonio Portale, historic drummer of Steel Raiser, left the band for personal reasons.
Took his place Carlos Cantatore (Annihilator, Madwork, H-George, Overmaster, Braindamage, Rublood, Alltheniko ...), which immediately took part in the filming of the third official video of the band.
