Green Eyed God - STEEL MILL***

Blood Runs Deep/Summer's Child/Mijo & The Laying Of The Witch/Treadmill/Green Eyed God/Turn The Page Over/Black Jewel Of The Forest/Har Fleur

Very little appears to be known about the British progressive rock band Steel Mill other than Green Eyed God was their only album and that they released two singles.

“An amazingly dark unknown 70s hard rock/prog album. Blood Runs Deep opens the album in a big way and is my favourite song on the album though there are really no weak tracks. A must for progheads.”

“Steel Mill's sole album is a bluesy take on the heaviest of heavy psych and proto-prog. Woodwind instruments add a wild card to the proceedings which sets the band apart from their influences, whilst the guitarist lays down monster riffs which establish an oppressive and foreboding atmosphere to the proceedings.”

“Each track has something special about it. They are all incredible musicians and I especially love the flutes and the guitars. The vocalist sings really well and also possesses an equally impressive imagination. The lyrics are dark and doomy, perfectly matching the music and giving the whole affair a real chilling vibe.”

“The album has a timeless and very magical feel throughout. Each track is fantastic to listen to on its own, but when the album is experienced as a whole it can transport the listener to another world of stunning and wondrous sights.”

“This real gem in progressive blues-rock was created by five brilliant musicians about whom there's actually nothing known apart from their names. The first song is such a great amazing blues rocker, swampy, bluesy and intricate at the same time. All the songs on this album are just awesome, much in the vein of Cream or early Black Sabbath, combined with great sax and flute play.”
