Steel Prophet is one of the few bands who didn?t give up on their way to success and patiently trained to improve their skills with each next release. Today a power metal icon, Steel Prophet managed to overcome all the obstacles and reach their goal, blessing the metal scene with a handful of unique and unforgettable albums. Metal Mind Productions presents the exclusive re-release of 3 Steel Prophet?s albums: ?Dark Hallucinations?, ?Genesis? and ?Book Of The Dead?.

"Dark Hallucinations" (1999) is one of their finest works to date, showing the band at the peak of their musical skills. With this album Steel Prophet ultimately proved that their place is among power metal legends such as Iron Maiden or Fates Warning. Lyrically, "Dark Hallucinations" was a concept album, based on the book "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. The unique atmosphere of a world stripped from beauty and love lingers in each song, drowning the listener in a sea of dark melancholy. The final track on the album is an amazing cover version of "The Apparition" by one of Steel Prophet's heroes - Fates Warning.

"Genesis" (2000) is the compilation album containing all tracks off Steel Prophet's first demo, as well as additional cover tunes recorded over the years. All the amps and drums were in the same room and it was done almost 'live' in a couple days. The tape sold really great in Europe and can be credited with kicking off the band's career. Apart from the material from demo, "Genesis" includes cover version of tracks by bands like Accept ('Fast As A Shark'), Iron Maiden ('Gangland' & 'Ides Of March/Purgatory'), Metallica ('Fade To Black'), Judas Priest ('Dreamer, Deceiver'), Black Sabbath ('Neon Knights') or Simple Minds ('Don't You Forget About Me').

The 2001 album, "Book of the Dead" was their most versatile, complete and mature performance to date. The material from "Book of the Dead" captured the essence of all previous releases, and with it's eight songs showed all the best qualities of this dream team. The album was definitely a course in intelligent heavy metal. "Book of the Dead" enhanced and solidified the position and the popularity of Steel Prophet. The history of Steel Prophet is therefore the history of a band, which proved that with hard work, integrity, a progressive attitude, and an iron will their goals could be achieved.

Metal Mind Productions will release all three albums in a new digipak edition limited to 2000 copies each. Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process on a golden disc. The release date is set up for 15th September 2008 in Europe and 28th October 2008 in USA (via MVD).
