Steelheart is a band fronted by Miljenko Matijevic. Miljenko’s powerful voice and
multi-octave range has become the heart and soul of the band. Although they began
as a Hair/Metal band in the early 90s, Miljenko has recently reformed the band and
turned it away from the Hair scene. Steelhearts new sound is modern and edgy
while still retaining overtones of Miljenko Matijevics roots. Writing, producing,
Matijevic has Fused his past, present and the future together, creating an
undeniable piece of art.
Steelheart released their self-titled debut album in 1990. It sold 33,000 albums on
its first day in Japan alone, and quickly hit platinum status. The ballad “She’s
Gone” which showcased Matijevic’s incredible vocal range hit #1 on the
International Charts, staying there for 17 weeks. The second single “I’ll Never Let
You Go (Angel Eyes)” reached #14 on the billboard charts, and was MTV’s 2nd
most requested video. The album reached #40 on the billboard charts, making it
(albeit just so) officially a ‘hit’. “Everybody Loves Eileen” and its accompanying
video also garnered much success. The song “Can’t Stop Me Lovin’ You” further
showcased Matijevic’s vocal range, but this time, lead guitarist Chris Risola’s
guitar skills were also noticed. The accompanying video was another of the band’s
hits.
Steelheart’s next effort, “Tangled In Reins” was a much more mixed combination
than the debut, with songs like “Sticky Side Up” to smooth ballads such as “Mama
Don’t You Cry”. Also, the song, “Steelheart”, featured Matijevic hitting his highest
note of the three albums. The ballad & Mama Dont You Cry charted #1 in many
East Asian Countries, including Hong Kong, prompting their Asian tour in
September 1992.
Four years later, Matijevic formed a new version of Steelheart with Kenny
Kanowski (guitars), Vincent Mele (bass) and Alex Makarovich (drums) to record
and release the album “Wait”. The album was very different to the previous two
albums. The single “Wait” went #1 in many Asian countries; however that was the
main area of the album’s success, the grunge invasion causing the American
European markets to be near closed to classic rock. Original member James Ward
joined Steelheart on the tour supporting the album. Also on the “Wait” album, “We
All Die Young”, the first track, was in the motion picture, “Rock Star,” starring
Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston.
