Existance Steel Alive

2014, Existance was created at the tail end of 2008 by Julian Izard (lead vocals and guitars) and Tom Drouin (bass), who shared a common goal of keeping the musical spirit of the 1980s Heavy Metal alive. If the last name Izard sounds familiar to the historians among you... well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree - like father like son, Julian Izard is none other than the son of Didier Izard, who was the vocalist with French speed metal band, H-Bomb, which regardless of featuring French language lyrics, and in spite of only being active from 1983-86, left a serious footprint on the European Heavy Metal scene of the 80s. STEEL ALIVE was mastered by none other than Maor Appelbaum in Los Angeles, who in the past has mastered masterpieces by (among others) Anvil, Dokken, Halford, Malmsteen, Sepultura - to name but a handful out of a list of hundreds. The result... one hell of an ass-kicking album that proves true metal is STEEL ALIVE.
