SACRED STEEL – presents title track of upcoming studio album “Ritual Supremacy”

SACRED STEEL – presents title track of upcoming studio album “Ritual Supremacy”, due out on April 25th via ROAR!

For more than 25 years, SACRED STEEL have been offering metalheads a killer, trend-free alternative to bloated trigger drums, cheesy keyboards and boring cliché sounds that are hyped year after year as “the next big thing in metal”. SACRED STEEL have always remained true to themselves, constantly reinventing their traditional style and releasing some highly acclaimed classics, such as their legendary debut “Reborn In Steel” (1997 as the first German band ever signed to Metal Blade Records), the follow-up “Wargods Of Metal”, or their heaviest album to date: “Slaughter Prophecy”. 

April 25, 2025 will see the iconic band release their 10th album, entitled “Ritual Supremacy”, which will be celebrated with a performance at the 25th anniversary of the “Keep It True Festival” and many more shows (find all upcoming dates, with many more to be announced soon, below!). The album is also the first to feature new members Toni Ieva (bass) and Jörn Langenfeld (guitar), who joined the band in 2023.

But give ear, as today, SACRED STEEL are presenting their album title track, the blistering opening track “Ritual Supremacy”! Crank it up, out now on all digital streaming services at:  https://sacredsteel.rpm.link/ritualsinglePR

“We chose this to be the 1^st single because a) it´s the title track and b) it´s the heaviest track on the album,” comments vocalist Gerrit P. Mutz. “It´s always good to be back with a bang, right? Lyrically it’s about the fact that we all try to differentiate ourselves from others by looking for our own space, our refuge. As metalheads we have found this refuge in the community of other metalheads and within our music. Unfortunately, there are also negative cults in this world and we stand against them with all our might! That´s what the cover art refers to.”

“Ritual Supremacy” will be released on CD, Vinyl and Digital formats by their new label partner ROAR (Grave Digger, Mystic Prophecy, Crematory, Holy Moses and many more), whose managing director Jochen Richert, Markus Wosgien (label management) and Lambros Kokkinos (product management) are long-time scene veterans. The album pre-sale has just started at this location: https://sacredsteel.rpm.link/ritualbumPR

Better get ready for a next chapter and let there be…SACRED STEEL, who are a trademark in the metal scene: All METAL with attitude, never everybody’s darling – and damn proud of it!
