Nanowar of Steel’s triple album release ‘XX Years of Steel’ really capture all that is this band. Both live CDs show the passion that was there during this concert. The devotion from the band to their music and the fans, but also from the fans to the band. They captured their live sound very nicely, which isn’t always the case with live CDs. And the third album with studio recorded songs adds some more great tracks to their catalogue! Released last year via Napalm Records.
