Wings of Steel, the rising stars of traditional heavy metal, unleash a powerful new single and music video "Burning Sands." This electrifying track is the third and final single from their highly anticipated sophomore album, Winds of Time, and follows two critically acclaimed singles from the album released earlier this year; We Rise & Winds of Time. Burning Sands masterfully blends old-school metal with a contemporary twist, featuring driving heavy guitar riffs and scorching solos, top-tier soaring vocals, and a monumental, utterly face-melting middle section that offers a powerful display of the epic journey awaiting listeners with the full album.
The accompanying music video, filmed in the desolate expanse of Poland's Błędowska Desert, provides a striking visual metaphor for the song’s powerful message. The band comments on the track’s timely theme: “Burning Sands illustrates the dire consequences of geopolitical events that could lead to nuclear war and the annihilation of humanity. This aligns with a common underlying lyrical theme on the album, best encapsulated by Mark Twain's observation: 'History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.'
Winds of Time is sure to be a landmark release for Wings of Steel and is a testament to their unwavering dedication to the genre and their relentless pursuit of musical excellence. The album is scheduled for a worldwide release on October 17, 2025, and promises to deliver a combination of captivating narratives, hard-hitting tracks and memorable melodies.
About the Band
Formed back in 2019, Wings of Steel is a Los Angeles-based heavy metal/hard rock band rooted in the classic styles of the 70s and 80s. Their sound combines Unnermark’s bluesy, powerful vocals with Halub's bombastic riffs and expressive soloing, creating a distinctive and massive sound reminiscent of the glory days of heavy metal combined with all the crisp clarity that modern recording techniques have to offer.
After their 2022 debut EP, “Wings of Steel,” they released their critically acclaimed first full-length album, “Gates of Twilight” (2023). In spring 2024, Wings of Steel embarked on their first European tour where they reaffirmed their position as one of the most prominent new bands in Heavy Metal. Wings of Steel continues to be praised for their energetic and captivating live performances, which can be experienced sonically on their live album “Live in France” (2024).
To date Wings of Steel has played numerous shows in the US and Europe, including festivals and venues like Heavy Week-End, Rock Hard Festival, The Whisky-A-Go-Go, Up the Hammers Festival, Keep it True Festival, and more.
