Arkeyn Steel Records proudly presents:
ENCHANTER - Defenders Of The Realm CD – REPRESS WITH NEW REMASTER AND BOOKLET, 500 handnumbered copies.
Yes, it is finally happening. Arkeyn Steel Records is re-releasing the Defenders of the Realm compilation CD, which includes the complete recordings of the heavy / epic / power metallers Enchanter from Jackson, Michigan, US.
Released in February 2008, Defenders of the Realm marked the second title in the Arkeyn Steel catalog. Originally limited to 1000 copies, it sold out rapidly and has since become one of the most sought-after ASR titles to this day.
The compilation includes both of the bands demo tapes: Defenders of the Realm, issued in 1988, and Time Gone Past Nevermore, released one year later (1989). Both serve as fine examples of heavy / epic / power metal, delivered with a distinctive technical approach.
Ethereal Quarter, the bands last recording, is also included. Finalized and mixed in 1990, it never received an official release until now. In this eight-minute masterpiece, Enchanter offer an epic and mystical work, presented in a complex yet emotional manner, clearly pointing toward the direction the band would follow in the next chapter of their saga, when they changed their name to Longings Past.
It is crystal clear that the band’s mastermind, guitarist James Shellberg, was channeling his broad artistic vision through Enchanter, delivering epic and powerful music shaped by near-progressive structures, inspired by early-era Fates Warning and similar acts. The music included in this reissue is far more important than a mere “demo discovery from the vaults”; it stands as a piece of fine epic art.
The new reissue features a brand-new remaster by Kostas Scandalis (Infinity Studios, Thessaloniki).
Kostas Athanasoglou redeveloped the booklet from scratch; the complete set of lyrics is included, together with extra photos that remained unreleased until now. Chris Papadakis (Forgotten Scroll Zine) wrote the liner notes.
We would like to dedicate this new pressing to Richard L. Copeland (drums) and Jimmy Delamater (bass), two Enchanter musicians who have passed on to Valhalla. And to all of you who have kept the Arkeyn Steel fire burning all these years. Hail!
For fans of FATES WARNING (Arch era), MANOWAR, CAULDRON BORN, MANILLA ROAD, MAJESTIC RYTE & OMEN!

Steel Gallery Records proudly presents:
RINGLORN - The Queen Of Wildred CD (SGR CD-085)
RELEASE DATE: May 29th, 2026
ORDER NOW: https://steelgallery.com/metal-store/product/ringlorn-the-queen-of-wildred-cd-pre-order/
First review at FORGOTTEN SCROLL webzine: https://www.forgotten-scroll.net/metal-reviews/queen-of-the-wildred/
One year after Tales Of War And Magic, a debut full-length that made a huge impression on the underground heavy metal scene, RINGLORN return with their second opus.
The bands new lineup features founding member Gabriel Leirbag on bass, Mark J. Dexter (DEXTER WARD, ex-BATTLEROAR, ex-HYRKANIAN BLADES) on vocals, and newcomer Spiros Rizos (POWERCROSS, SINNER GUARD, DARK LEGION, EVIL KING) on guitar. Rizos brings a new dynamic to the bands sound with his remarkable guitar work, contributing to an excellent fusion of heavy, power, and epic metal.
On this new album, RINGLORN has managed to capture all the majesty of the 80s epic/heavy metal movement that was mainly worshipped by Italian, Greek, and US bands through the years: excellent songwriting, big choruses, and all the power of steel, which guides the bands faithful legions to absolute glory through hymns like Heavy Metal Swords, Guardians Of The Black Cross, Ira Sacra and of course the 8-minute-long magnum opus Queen Of The Wildred.
Follow the mighty RINGLORN to their new kingdom where the fire of pure steel burns forever.
If you raise your swords for bands such as MANILLA ROAD, OMEN, VALKYRIE, MORGANA, SABOTAGE and WOTAN, this is a masterpiece that you should not miss.
