After 20 years of silence, reactivated NYC underground thrashers COLDSTEEL have returned with the release of America Idle, out today via Stormspell Records.
The five-song EP is an aggressive display of muscular trash metal flavored with engaging melodies and pit-enticing riffs that sees this veteran act roaring their way into today’s metal scene. America Idle is available as a digital download through iTunes, Amazon.com, CD Baby and other online music retailers. The CD version and 12″ Vinyl LP (Limited to 1,000 units) will be available through Stormspell Records, www.coldsteelny.com, and CD Baby. A 12″ Vinyl Picture Disc (Limited to 200 units) will also be available exclusively through www.coldsteelny.com.Conceptually, America Idle expresses current societal anxiety and proclaims an anthem to rouse the unbreakable spirit of America.

“A ripping stompfest through mosh-ready riffs and rhythms that doesn’t relent for even a split second.” – Wormwood Chronicles “Coldsteel are American Thrash Metal in the vein of Anthrax, Annihilator, and Testament. They capture the best of all worlds.” – November 24th Spawned a Monster “Groovy, crunchy, not forgetting melodies and harmonies, versatile vocals, intriguing riffages, top notch soloing and the works.” (8/10) – Metal Temple “Welcome back, COLD STEEL!” (9/10) – Metal.de “If Coldsteel had promise 20 years ago, then they’ve lost none of that promise and power today. Recommended.” (4/5) – Dangerdog Music Reviews
