About Steelwings

Swedish hard rock band. STEELWINGS hail from Sweden and play classic hard rock/heavy metal with roots firmly from the 80’s. They were formed in 1982 and were part of the FWOSHM (First Wave Of Swedish Heavy Metal) being very active throughout the 80’s and at the beginning of the 90’s. The band played a lot of gigs during this time and much of their material was recorded and released in different forms. This was the time before the Internet, so the music was spread by tape-trading. In 1983 the band went to England and recorded two songs for Ebony Records and the song “Live Your Life” is featured on their “Metal Plated” compilation album. Today these recordings, and other past material, are available to hear on Spotify. They also appeared on the charity record “Swedish Metal Aid”, together with other Swedish heavy rock bands such as Europe, Treat and Heavy Load. In 1989, the bands last album before their hiatus, “Steelwings”, was released both as LP and CD. In 2007, the local city of Markaryd celebrated its 700th year and the band was asked too play some songs at this event. The guys got together again and this was the beginning of a new era for STEELWINGS. Although some years passed, eventually they started to work on a more regular basis. New songs were written and the group started playing regular live shows, amongst others, in 2015 at the “Muskelrock Festival” in Sweden. 2019 STEELWINGS released their come back album "Back", on CD and red vinyl. The album was well received and put the band back on the hard rock map. 2022 the album ”Still Rising” was released on CD. 2024 the book “Rockdrömmen” came out. It’s a book in Swedish about the bands journey. 2024 played live on festivals, including “Midsommarrock”, “Time To Rock” and “Skånska Mullret”. 2025 a remixed version of the first album ”Steelwings” was released on all digital platforms.
