The band expressed their fervent enthusiasm in a statement: "We are thrilled and honored to celebrate the closing of the contract with Wormholedeath. For us, this milestone marks a new chapter in our musical journey, filled with exciting opportunities and inspiring challenges.

"SONGS OF STEEL": A DEEP DIVE INTO LIFE'S LABYRINTH

"Songs of Steel" delves profoundly into the band's personal experiences, weaving a tapestry of diverse themes with each track boasting its own distinct flair. The album steers clear of monotony, offering a refreshing departure from the homogeneity that often plagues the genre. Souls of Steel tackles a myriad of potent subjects, from the erosion of their nation's political system to the empowering role of women in rock and roll, all the while exploring the complexities of broken friendships and shattered hearts. Each song meticulously aligns with the album's title, wielding lyrics that resonate deeply with the listener.

A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT FORGED IN DISTANCE

The songwriting and lyrical prowess of Daniel and Benjamin breathe life into "Songs of Steel." Despite the physical separation between the two bandmates residing in different cities, the pandemic's wake provided an unexpected opportunity for their creative visions to coalesce. This extended period of gestation fostered a rich tapestry of musical influences, drawing inspiration from legendary metal acts like Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Mötley Crüe, Van Halen, Symphony X, Mr. Big, and a multitude more.

The album's sonic landscape was meticulously sculpted at El Salvador's Stageline Studio with Erlin de la O at the helm. To achieve the album's final form, the recordings embarked on a journey across the Atlantic, landing at the UK's Cube Recording Studio where renowned sound engineer Ross Rothero-Bourge meticulously mixed and mastered each track.

SOULS OF STEEL: A BAND ON THE RISE

Founded in 2021 by Benjamin Lopez and Daniel Jiménez, Souls of Steel draws upon the foundational strength of metal while venturing into uncharted sonic territories. Inspired by the likes of Megadeth, Symphony X, and Metallica, the band has meticulously carved their own niche, solidifying a lineup featuring Benjamin Lopez (bass, vocals), Daniel Jiménez (lead guitar), Oscar Trujillo (drums), and Sebastián Lorenzana (lead vocals). Their debut album, "Songs of Steel," released in December 2023, served as a potent declaration of their musical aspirations, showcasing their raw energy and unyielding spirit. With introspective lyrics that explore the spectrum of human experience, from the throes of societal woes to the triumphs of personal growth, Souls of Steel, now signed to Wormholedeath, eagerly awaits the opportunity to unleash their music upon the global audience.
