The band was formed in Trieste in the 1977 with the name of "Corona d'acciao"proposing an aggressive hard rock sung in Italian, to the beginnings of the '80 ours adopted the name "Steel Crown" and the sound was transformed in Heavy Metal.
Their live act has stayed one of the more fantastic never see in Italy, the frontman endowed with an unique voice. Steel Crown has played in along and wide in the peninsula, frequently also out way in the Yugoslavia neighbor.The fame that ours went behind was not of the best, they to wrong have stayed considered of the intemperate, polemic, didn't become put the feet in head ever (on their road has met false promises, false labels..) and coherent they with their metallic attitude went on with the begin to iron and fire all that met.After more concerts (from remember the opening to the Mercyfull fate) and three shares in compilations (the video exists clip also of "Riot into the fire "transmitted from Videomusic) They debut finally with the album "Sunset warriors "published from the Discomagic, that like all the italian labels of the epoch sinned in the distribution and in the promotion.8 tracks recorded between which high the stupendous "my father" .Many more incomprehensions pushed the ensamble to replace the drummer Silver Kid, arrived the" Devils Claws" Peter Cosmini (in succession with Swords) and also the new album of entitled "Night walk" that ours confirmed to point of diamond of the Italian metal.
In the imminence of their apparition to the prestigious summer festival "Verona Rock "the they irresistible and extraordinary Yako [vocalist] disappears tragicaly in a road accident leaving a great void,that however there leaves precious sonorous testimonies and an indelible memory in our memory of the spettacular shows on the stages of all Italy, of Yako an artist, a bad flower that the destiny has been allowed to chop off.
