COPENHAGEN · DENMARK
Old School Speed Metal From Copenhagen
Steel Inferno is a Danish speed metal band born in the rehearsal rooms and dive bars of Copenhagen. Since 2012 the five-piece has carried the torch for old-school heavy metal — twin-guitar harmonies, gallop rhythms, soaring vocals and the kind of urgency the genre was built on.
The sound draws a straight line from the foundational records of Agent Steel, Exciter, Savage Grace and early Slayer through to the modern NWOTHM movement. Aggressive riffs, sharp solos and choruses built to be screamed back — recorded with the bite of analog tape and played live without compromise.
Forged in the Copenhagen underground
Denmark's capital has long been a quiet stronghold for traditional metal, and Steel Inferno has spent over a decade pushing the local scene forward — sharing stages with international acts, headlining underground halls and bringing speed metal back to festivals across Scandinavia and continental Europe.
Built for the live performance
On stage the band trades any modern polish for sweat, leather and full-throttle attack. Tight, fast, loud — the kind of speed metal show that reminds you why this music has outlived every trend that tried to bury it. Promoters and fans across the European metal circuit know what to expect: no backing tracks, no compromises, just the inferno.
