🔻 MEDIA FEEDBACK

9 / 10
➤ "... not just an album—it’s a carefully crafted sonic universe that brings together the strengths of STEAMGENERATOR. Dark, intense, and performed with palpable passion, the band demonstrates here that classic Doom Metal can remain both authentic and exciting. The bonus material provides an attractive added bonus that makes purchasing the CD absolutely worthwhile."
(Time For Metal)

9 / 10
➤ "... laid-back epicness that really pulls you in … with Black Sabbath vibes … an impressive album that took me completely by surprise. And in every positive way. Doom can be incredibly creative—believe it!"
(Neckbreaker)

8 / 10
➤ "... an impressive collection of their work to date. The Wolfsburg-based band proves that classic Doom Metal can sound passionate and compelling ... honest and full of energy …"
(Saitenkult)

➤ "... at the very heart of the doom genre, where heavy riffs and an atmospheric weight … classic Doom with a powerful production that manages to be both timeless and captivating …"
(Rancor Metalzine)

➤ "… eerie keyboard melodies, scraping guitars, and a groove that slowly builds … presented in a varied and elaborate way … promising and interesting … a real treat for fans of the genre … highly recommended."
(Metal Inside DE)

➤ "These guys aren’t trying to win any awards for 'perfection', and they’re pretty open about it. It’s all about the 'transmission' … if you’re into that Cathedral or Count Raven style where the groove feels like a physical weight, this is going to wreck you."
(Papy Jeff Metal)

Previous acclaim for the band

Rock Hard:
➤ "Nevertheless, the band is less gloomy and whiny than many of their colleagues. At times, it even seems downright light-footed, not least because of the impressively multi-layered vocal arrangements."

Totentanz:
➤ "The six songs are long, well-produced, and full of heavy riffs."

Metal Hammer:
➤ "A groovy album that should find an open ear among fans of the genre."

Legacy:
➤ "The band really piques curiosity with its varied vocals, as in the opener ‘Untertage’ – a real hit with a catchy chorus."

[ Official Video ]

STEAMGENERATOR say about the background:
"It's not the age of perfection, but the age of transmission! The song from the upcoming album ‘Hopeless Romantic’ that comes closest to classic Doom. All of the band's musical influences come together here. Here they reveal their roots and the reasons why STEAMGENERATOR was originally formed. Trouble, Cathedral, and Black Sabbath are the godfathers. The song is an apocalyptic view of a technocratic, profit-oriented society with no regard for the individual. Start the Plutonium Mega Generator!"

STEAMGENERATOR from the cold steel forge of Wolfsburg are musically at home in the vast universe of Doom, with the musicians feeling most comfortable in the company of genre greats such as Trouble, Black Sabbath, and Cathedral.

Marcus Milbrandt (guitar) and Christian Steffenhagen (drums) first appeared together in various regional bands in the early 1990s. The group has now found the perfect partner in metalloscope music to optimize the powerful STEAMGENERATOR for a significantly higher performance level and thus present their music to a wider audience.

To mark their debut, the new label will release "Hopeless Romantic" on March 25, including the remastered songs from "Black As Coal" as a bonus and with revised cover artwork. Promising material for the next album is already in the works.
