In the midst of promotion of the album, a serious accident happened on Halloween night in 1992, when an improperly secured lighting truss hit Matijevic on the back of the head, breaking his nose, cheekbone, jaw, and twisting his spine. (by early ‘90s standards) due to the well documented rise of grunge music however, East Asia was a different story, where the band was widely embraced yet again. Steelheart’s sophomore album, “” was released in 1992 to critical acclaim and rave reviews, but moderate success in terms of sales in the U.S. Steelheart released their self-titled debut album in 1990 and based on the buzz around the hit single “I’ll Never Let You Go” was a smashing success (for example, 33,000 albums were sold in one day in Japan) and quickly reached platinum sales. Certainly fans of the band’s first three classic albums will be happy to hear those powerful pipes back in action, but fans of modern hard rock acts like Halestorm, Shinedown, Alter Bridge, and other melodic minded rock heavyweights will find much here to love. On Through Worlds Of Stardust, Miljenko has fused his past, present, and future together, creating an undeniable piece of hard rock music. Although they were lumped in with the glut of long-haired hard rock bands emerging in the early ‘90s, the band was always more forward thinking than their peers and the 2017 version of the band has a contemporary and edgy feel, while still retaining the patented powerful vocals of Miljenko. “Rock ’N Milan” isn't just another 'live recording' of hits, but a powerhouse show plenty of energy, great riffs and scorching vocals that highlight the intensity and showmanship of a SteelHeart concert.Steelheart is the brainchild of Miljenko Matijevic whose powerful voice and multi-octave range is the heart and soul of the band.

This CD illustrates the rocking side of Miljenko / Steelheart which is refreshing and really welcomed.Īnother thing I noticed is the mixing and production sound are excellent. What Steelheart isn’t known for to the major public is that they can rock as well, and rock hard. The band sounds tight, and the riff-driven work of the late Kenny Kanowski will keep the guitar nerd within us happy.Įveryone knows that Miljenko can write beautiful love songs. Steelheart opened the show rocking to “Blood Pollution”. Honestly, I was expecting a show highlighting only the ballads that Steelheart / Miljenko Matijevic are known for. ![]() The show is also a fitting tribute to the loving memory of Steelheart guitarist Kenny Kanowski, who passed away just a couple of months after this last performance with the band. With tracks culled from the self-titled debut album and from the “Rockstar” movie soundtrack, singer Miljenko Matijevic was in fine form and delivered an amazing performance to the wowed crowd. ![]() The band stormed the stage ahead of the forthcoming release of their comeback album, 'Through Worlds of Stardust', which is represented with the inclusion of “My Dirty Girl”, while the rest of the setlist includes Steelheart classics. ![]()
