Description:
Prayers Of Steel is an album by Avenger, released in 2017. The album is a heavy metal 2-CD. -
Made in EU.
"Prayers of Steel (Re-Release)" on CD is a reissue of a seminal early-80s German heavy metal album by Avenger, presented here in a carefully prepared edition by label and manufacturer Dr. Bones. The record captures raw, energetic steel that stands at the crossroads between classic heavy metal and the emerging speed/power movement of its era: biting riffs, galloping rhythms, piercing vocals and dark, epic atmospheres. This re-release brings the album back into focus for both collectors and new listeners, preserving its authentic sound character while offering a clean, powerful CD production that does justice to the intensity of the original recordings. Lyrically, the songs revolve around steel, struggle, fantasy and nocturnal, mystical themes, making the album a compact time capsule of early European metal culture.
Avenger were one of the early incarnations of musicians who would later help shape the German metal underground of the 1980s. With "Prayers of Steel" they delivered a rough, passionate and honest statement that resonated particularly with fans who were searching for a harder, more aggressive alternative to mainstream hard rock of the time. The band is known for its uncompromising riff work and an approach that bridges traditional heavy metal with faster, more driving elements - traits that made them a cult name among genre enthusiasts. While they never became a household chart act, their legacy lies in their influence and in the enduring respect the album receives from collectors and connoisseurs of early German metal.
Dr. Bones specializes in high-quality reissues and niche productions for rock and metal aficionados, with a clear focus on preserving important genre milestones. Releases from Dr. Bones are aimed at fans who value faithful sound, careful handling of original material and detailed presentation rather than mass-market compromises. With this CD edition of "Prayers of Steel (Re-Release)", Dr. Bones once again underlines its role as a dedicated curator of heavy music heritage, making a hard-to-find classic accessible in a durable, collector-friendly format.
"Prayers of Steel (Re-Release)" on CD is therefore ideal for fans of traditional heavy metal, speed-infused riff work and historically significant early-80s European metal. Whether you are rediscovering the album or experiencing it for the first time, this edition offers a powerful snapshot of a formative period in metal history - raw, intense and unpolished in the best possible way.
