- Steel Tormentor are a traditional Heavy metal band based in the wilds of north Mayo on the west coast of Ireland. They were formed in 1996 by guitarist and vocalist James Kelly as a studio project. It wasn't until early 2004 that James found a line up stable enough to record the debut album "Unleashed". He was joined for the recording process by Seanie Walsh on drums and Paul Newell on bass guitar. The album was produced by James in his home studio.
The album got such a great response when it was released that a gigging line up was put together to help promote it. In came original member John Hanly on bass, Norman Rafter on guitar and Paul Donnellan on drums. With this line up the band toured the UK with Marshall Law, made their first appearance at the Bloodstock Metal Festival in England, Up The Hammers festival in Greece and along the way supported Saxon.
After nearly a year without a drummer, Kevin Ryder replaced Paul Donnellan on drums in March 2008 and in July 2008 John Hanly left the band. Over a two week period in August and October 2008 the remaining members joined by Paul Newell on bass entered Remaster Studio in Italy to record the second album entitled "Return of a King". The album is due for release in 2009.
