California glam metal jokesters STEEL PANTHER took part in another livestream concert event on October 31, “The Halloweenie Ride Livescream”. The concert event was broadcast live from the iconic Viper Room in West Hollywood, California, a new location for STEEL PANTHER‘s livestreams but an old home in the band’s history.
A clip from the performance can be seen below.
This past August, STEEL PANTHER played its second virtual concert event, “Rockdown In The Lockdown”, from the ultra-sanitized, production-filled, multi-camera Drum Channel Studio at Drum Workshop, located in Oxnard, California. The performance was streamed live globally.
STEEL PANTHER‘s latest album, “Heavy Metal Rules”, was released in September 2019. The disc, which is described in a press release as a “heavy metal version of a self-help manual and ultimate party album combined,” was once again produced by Jay Ruston, who collaborated with the band on all of its previous recordings, including 2017’s “Lower The Bar”.
STEEL PANTHER specializes in imitating and exaggerating the less flattering aspects of 1980s hair metal, with unrepentantly crude, non-PC sexual content as a favorite lyrical theme.
The group’s music has been described as “VAN HALEN meets MÖTLEY CRÜE meets RATT meets ‘Wayne’s World’, complete with operatic shrieks, misogyny, shredding guitar solos and libidinal overdrive.”
Twelve years ago, STEEL PANTHER changed its name from METAL SKOOL to its current moniker and shifted the focus of its act from ’80s metal covers to originals.
