+++ Forty years of SteamhammerSteamhammer – forty years of rock history! +++🔥
It was January 1984 when Steamhammer, named after company founder Manfred Schütz’s favourite band, released its first own production, an album entitled ‘Common Times Heroes’ by local act Hardware. Within just a few years, the label, having enlisted groups such as Sodom, Destruction, Assassin and Iron Angel, flourished both on a national and an international level. At the time, Steamhammer also licensed acts such as Metal Church, Trouble, Lääz Rockit and Leatherwolf.
The following decades saw several generations of talented bands and artists, such as Axel Rudi Pell, Steeler and Zed Yago, develop into globally successful acts under Steamhammer’s aegis. In the 1990s, Steamhammer became home to numerous international icons such as Motörhead, Dio, Judas Priest, Saxon, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet. In the new millennium, additional globally successful releases by Whitesnake, Alice Cooper, Helloween, Kreator, GAMMA RAY, KAMELOT and DORO followed.
Label manager Olly Hahn has been running Steamhammer for more than fourteen years, based on plenty of experience, extensive expertise and that crucial enthusiasm for music; which of course also applies to Head of Promotion, Björn von Oettingen. A number of exciting releases have been announced for the future, including new albums by Axel Rudi Pell, Running Wild, Sodom, Freedom Call, Molly Hatchet and the first solo album by UFO singer Phil Mogg in addition to albums already launched by MAGNUM and Rage.
We are accompanying the anniversary with an exclusive shirt, a sale campaign in our own label shop, a 40th Anniversary Spotify playlist and more exciting surprises:
