2013, Ritual Steel is the baby of drummer Martin Zellmer. In the middle of the nineties he had the idea to found a band which is absolutely different as everything what had come out up to now from Germany in Heavy Metal. In the middle of 2001 he had the first lineup together and already recorded after a few weeks the first single ,,Orchid Queen". Two albums (A HELL OF A KNIGHT/2002 and BLITZ INVASION/2004) followed in slightly changed occupations. In the end of 2004 the musicians of Ritual Steel decided to go separate ways in future. From Ivory Tower guitarist Sven Boege as well as the US-singer John Cason (Exiled) complete the band. The band returned 2006 with the single ,,Knights Of Steel", which marks a brilliant start! Ritual Steel present themselves stronger and more professional than ever before! New, better musicians, Zellmer as solemn songwriter - the band sounded better! The recordings for IMMORTAL took two years.
