Massachusetts-based hardcore label 1126 Records is pleased to welcome Alabama’s WIELDED STEEL to their crushing roster!

WIELDED STEEL is a ferocious Alabama metalcore outfit forged in blood, sweat, and feedback. Born from the sweltering heat and grit of the deep South, the band channels raw violence through downtuned riffs, bone-breaking breakdowns, and war cry vocals. Their sound is a brutal hybrid of metalcore chaos and old-school death metal precision, a hardcore collision influenced by Terror’s unrelenting aggression, Dehumanized’s crushing technicality, and the merciless ferocity of Dying Fetus.

In celebration of their signing, today WIELDED STEEL drops a video for the new track “Your Words Mean Nothing,” showcasing the DIY Alabama hardcore scene.

Comments vocalist Jesse Clark, “‘Your Words Mean Nothing’ is a song about the empty promises of prosperity that are slung around by the ruling class, to try and keep poor people docile and accepting. How they attempt to use identity politics to pit people against each other and keep them distracted and angry. It’s also about how those politicians, and billionaire CEOs, that engineer and profit off of the suffering of the working class are just people. People that can be made to face consequences. There are more of us than there are of them.”

RON KEEL “THE METAL COWBOY” Releases The Last Ride – The New Single & Video Inspired By The Comic Book KEELWORLD – METAL COWBOY

Posted in comic books, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, music videos, news with tags , , , , , , , on November 6, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Metal Nerds Inc. has joined forces with RFK Media to deliver the new 44-page comic book/graphic novel KEELWORLD, in which the Metal Cowboy undertakes a journey through time, from the Hollywood heyday of the 80s to the post-apocalyptic future.

THE SONG: A Metal Cowboy classic, “The Last Ride” is a fast-paced anthem that combines the musical energy of Keel’s metal spirit with the southwest roots that have characterized his work for the past 30 years. A thunderous drum groove courtesy of Mike Vanderhule (Y&T) provides the foundation for Ron’s guitars and vocals, the solo section pits Rascal Flatts’ Travis Toy on dobro against Keith Roberts’ relentless guitar licks, and the lyrics are some of Ron Keel’s best (“Inside and out I’ve earned these scars, from the Sunset Strip to the cowboy bars”).

All links to the CD, downloads, and streaming platforms are one click away at: http://lnk.to/thelastride.

THE VIDEO: Inspired by the comic book and created by Jason McCorriston/McCardy Media, this clip brings the story to life in stunning fashion, recreating the glory years of yesterday amidst the threat of a future ruled by A.I. – available to view exclusively at http://youtube.com/@ronkeelrfkmedia.

THE COMIC BOOK: Published by Metal Nerds Inc. and distributed by RFK Media, this project was written by Brett Monro and Morten Kristiansen, with four different artists bringing each era to life; Francesco Iaquinta, Andrey Portilla, Mauro Bueno, and EV Cantada created distinct visions of yesterday and tomorrow. The book also includes an autographed two-sided pull-out poster, and it’s available at http://rfkmediashop.com.

I’m just driven to create stuff and entertain people,” Ron Keel explains. “Everything we do at RFK Media – the radio station, the movie stuff, the comic book, of course the albums and songs, and whatever else the future holds, it’s still all about the music. The music is our wheels, and without that there wouldn’t be any Last Ride.”
