Steel Mill
There's not really much description I can give that will do justice to this
show.
Yes, it was a metal show. But it was also a moral breeding ground, offering a
wholesome outlet for the youth of Chicagoland to learn from intelligent,
upstanding young adults who made great role models.
Down the line, I will likely be transferring tapes from the show (countless
episodes over 5+ years) and grabbing some of the better- well, less horrible
portions as a sort of "slightly higher than lowlights" collage.
Over the years we had several bands from the area adopt the show as a platform
for promotional purposes, including Macabre, Forest of Impaled, Broken Hope,
Oppressor, my band November's Doom, Ember, Gorgasm, Avernus, Euphoric
Evisceration (which marked the largest number of people in the studio at once
EVER- like 16 in a 15'x15' room filled with transmitting/mixing equipment),
PoochCarver, etc., and some clips from those will be included I'm sure. It'll
take a while. People will be embarrassed (mostly us). But I'm sure it'll be
educational.
Here are a couple samples: The Steel Mill Pre-Halloween Special, from October 24, 1998.
