Steel Tormentor were founded in 1997 by Guitarist & vocalist James Kelly. The goal was to play music in the vein of his favorite bands Iron Maiden, Judas Priest & Helloween.

It wasn’t till early 2004 James found a line up stable enough to record the debut 10 track demo/album “Unleashed”. James took care of all the guitars & vocals as well as all the recording & production. He was joined on drums by Seanie Walsh & Paul Newell on bass guitar. The cd was recorded over a 10 week period in James’s home studio.

The cd got such a great response when it was released a gigging line up had to be put together.

After numerous auditions the new line-up was formed, which included John Hanly on bass, Norman Rafter on guitar and Paul Donnellan on drums.The band undertook their busiest ever live schedule with this line-up.
