Steve Cone is a New York native and has been a member of several prominent bands in his years of making music. After relocating to the desert, Cone built a studio and started writing his own brand of metal, forged in the classic European tradition of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal legends such as Iron Maiden, Saxon but also Accept and Motorhead to name but a few.
His mix or heavy metal/ progressive hard rock is tempered with his own street-smart style picked up from his days of playing the dark, seedy clubs of New York City. The results have been nothing short of impressive with each Cone release topping its predecessor with intelligent yet wild songs about power, betrayal, and the various dark places in our minds.
Steve Cone has not forgotten that rock and roll is about energy, drive, and most of all, rattling your cage until the whole world seems to be shaking. With every one of Cone’s solo releases, this Arizona-based guitarist and singer continues to established himself as one of the premier heavy metal songwriters on the scene today.
The phrase “heavy metal” is too easily tossed around. So where does Cone fit into this landscape? If the essence of metal lies in heavy guitars, thunderous rhythms, explosive leads and memorable choruses, then Cone becomes the epitome of the genre. But when it is all said and done, what Steve Cone brings to the table is the ability to craft memorable hooks that rock so incredibly hard.
And ultimately, that’s what matters most. Steve Cone is a veteran of the hard rock and heavy metal scene and continues to grow and develop as an artist that is quickly grabbing attention from the masses. 2010 CYANIDE SCREAM saw the light of day and together with Lou Bergeron (bass) and Erik Fehrenbach (drums) he did the debut album for KILLER METAL RECORDS.
