“Heavy metal’s back!” What started as a band reproducing the best known hits of the most famous metal bands from the 80’s, is now a band playing their own metal-inspired music in our largely modern post-metal era. Steel Panther started out playing in Los Angeles nightclubs and slowly showed the world that metal can be cool again. Through their humorous (and sometimes crass) lyrics Steel Panther shows us how they feel about metal, their beloved genre through the title of their popular song “Death to all but metal (not butt metal).” Their new album “Live from Lexxi’s Mom’s Garage” made its debut in February of this year.
