The new band anthem, 'Full Speed Ahead!', just hits the nail on the head: Steelwing are unstoppable and now you can listen to the track in its entirety.

Steelwing comment as follows on the new song: "We're proud to release the first song from our new album today. 'Full Speed Ahead!' is the new Steelwing anthem, a powerful song about leaping recklessly into uncharted territories, breaking the boundaries and not backing down when the going gets tough. Just crank up the volume and go on a ride with us, we hope you'll enjoy it!"

Check out the first official album trailer below:

Says the band: "The recording sessions at Leon Music with Rikard Löfgren were a blast! Everyone worked really hard to pull it off with a tight deadline but Rikard really understood the Steelwing sound and used his ear for melodies to bring out the best in our songwriting. The results speak for themselves and the progression of the band since our debut is obvious.

Zone Of Alienation is a semi-concept album set in a not-so-distant future where the remnants of mankind have fled into outer space. Following the eradication of the Earth after religious wars have gone nuclear, they set out to find new worlds to colonize. The cover art was done by Dimitar Nikolov and it is an eerie depiction of heavily armed space pioneers setting foot on a hostile planet."
