New single: Rise Up – Out July 25

BLACK STEAM is a heavy metal band from Linköping, Sweden, delivering a fierce blend of classic metal roots and modern intensity. Known for their powerful riffs, soaring vocals, and high-energy live performances, the band draws inspiration from legends like Judas Priest, Metallica, Ghost, and Sabaton — crafting a sound that is both timeless and unmistakably their own.

Formed in 2017 by vocalist and frontman Stefan Borg, the band has grown into a solid lineup consisting of guitarist Kennet Jansson, bassist Hans Liljebladh, and drummer Uffe Tillman. Together, they bring a wealth of musical experience and stage presence, delivering tight, electrifying shows that leave a lasting impression. With lyrics often echoing Stefan’s background as a military helicopter pilot, their music is rich with themes of struggle, resilience, and defiance.

Following several successful singles and an acclaimed debut EP, the band released their first full-length album Come To My Darkness in 2022. The album was preceded by four standout singles and led to performances at notable festivals such as Gravefest and PowWow Festival in Stockholm, as well as support slots for acts like Bullet, Mister Misery, Battering Ram, and Black Ingvars.

Now preparing for the release of their second album in spring 2026, BLACK STEAM is once again turning up the heat with a new wave of heavy, melodic anthems — including the 2025 singles Heavy Metal and Rise Up.
