STEALTH – Metal Force (2024): Italy’s Dirtiest Export Since Grappa

Verona’s own Stealth just dropped a speed metal bomb called Metal Force, and it’s a goddamn declaration of war on politeness. Out May 28 via the underground juggernaut Witches Brew, this debut is a firestorm of no-bullshit, middle-finger-in-the-air heavy metal. Zero filler, all killer.

This ain’t your dad’s retro throwback band—it’s Exciter on speed, Venom with a gym membership, Accept if they grew up on moonshine and punk tape-trading. Picture denim, sweat, and broken necks. That’s Metal Force. And it’s LOUD.

Meet the trio that doesn’t know the word “rest”:

- Ryan Heavy – drums + vocals at the same time (wtf?? dude’s a beast)

- Rich Rascal – shreds riffs that feel like a punch to the throat

- L.C. Hammer – basslines that could flatten a small village

From the title track Metal Force (a headbanger’s wet dream) to the rawer-than-barbed-wire “Metal Fire,” this record don’t give a damn about trends, polish, or genre snobs. It just rips. The solos scream, the vocals snarl, the pace never lets up. One minute you're air-guitaring, next minute you're kicked through a bar window. It rules.

And let’s be real: How many bands these days make you want to smash a beer can on your forehead and stage dive off your kitchen table?

Metal Force is pure, high-voltage whiplash. It’s what happens when three Italians ditch subtlety and go full “screw it, let’s melt faces”. No overproduction, no ego, just raw steel and volume. You either get it, or you go home. Simple as that.
