"Two is a charm for this highly talented band:their new opus,'Slaves of the New World'is a strong candidate for the best rock album of the year.If you like House of Lords,Giuffria,Hardline ,or Giant,give this album a spin!"
One of the best MHR albums of the 90's

"The second album from these rockers is an absolute stunner. What a great album. Great singing, guitars, everything. Great catchy songs that stick from the beginning. Simply a mindblowing follow up of their debut album "Metallic Blue". Listen and be astounded by songs like "Seven Seas", "Love Strikes" and "All I Believe In". This time they have written all songs themselves and left the covers behind and that's a big plus. This album is highly recommended if you're a fan of melodic hard rock."
Knockout melodic rock album!

"Steelhouse Lane's 1999 album Slaves of the New World is a pretty incredible melodic rock album. I already knew that Mike Slamer was a great guitarist and songwriter from his days in Streets, but pairing him with one-time MSG vocalist Keith Slack was a match made in AOR heaven.



Steelhouse Lane's sound takes the best elements of the classic AOR sound (think Journey, Kansas, Foreigner, Asia and of course Streets) and adds the heavier elements of early 90's acts (like Giant, Damn Yankees and Bad English). The result is a powerful, hook-heavy, hard hitting melodic rock sound that instantly takes you back to arena rock's glory days. Whether it's creating melodic hooks or powerful solos, Mike Slamer just blazes away on this album. And as good as Slamer's guitar work is; Keith Slack's vocals are just as impressive. I don't know where this guy has been hiding (or where he went from here), but his Steve Walsh-meets-Lou Gramm voice is absolutely perfect for this kind of music.



If you're any kind of melodic rock fan, Slaves of the New World is an absolute must-have album. It's just under an hour of near-perfect melodic rock that is not to be missed. I also highly recommend Mike Slamer's solo album Nowhere Land, which features former Strangeways vocalist Terry Brock. It's not quite as good as this, but it's pretty close
