Stealth bring honor and glory to vintage heavy/speed, calling into question the godfathers of the genre, with Exciter, Riot and Abattoir at the forefront, without however forgetting NWOBHM cues
- Metalitalia -
Stealth were born in Verona (Italy) in 2019 from an idea by guitarist Rick.Raschal (ex Murderlust, Mortal Violence) and drummer/vocalist Ryan Heavy (ex-Merciless Attack, Black Ancestry). Rick, expelled from Murderlust, proposes to his partner Ryan to found a Heavy/Rock n'Roll project, which he accepts without too many pretensions, thus putting aside the extreme sounds of Thrash and Black Metal to dedicate himself to rudimentary sounds and road operators who will propose to follow. Simo (Smash Bacteria) is called on bass and Andy on vocals (ex Agitator). Four of them give light to the first demo of F.S.T which achieved good success in Italy and abroad thanks to the NWOTHM YouTube channel.The quartet will continue to compose several songs such as Metal Force, which will give its name to the future album in which Rick will highlight recurring guitar riffs such as Exciter, Motorhead, Raven... A tough and decidedly Eighties Hard&Heavy!They will perform in several shows with Italian groups such as: Hellcrash, Ireful, Rogue Deal and many others. Subsequently Simo will leave the band for personal reasons and will be replaced by L.C. Hammer (former Hellcrash frontman). In May 2022 they will play in Germany to open a festival in Bavaria where they will be with: Sphinx, Mecchanic Tyrants, Venator and the historic Mass. However, there was bad blood with Andy and he was sent away. The band was not discouraged and, by mutual agreement, Ryan was chosen as singer/drummer.Thus Stealth became a power trio, playing with new groups, some of which: Explorer and the historic American group Mentors, thus finding a new balance and adaptation.
