Slamer is also known as a songwriter and producer of the highest order in the melodic hardrock genre and has credits working with, among others, Wall Of Silence, House Of Lords, Paul Gilbert, Michael Sweet (Stryper), Big Bang Babies, James Christian, Paul Shortino, Hardline and Tower City just to name a few. Slamer had a vision to create the perfect melodic hard rock album and to create and form the perfect band to go along with it: STEELHOUSE LANE. He presented his idea to A&R director of MTM Music, Magnus Soderkvist. Soderkvist, a long time huge fan of Slamer's work, loved the idea. Slamers long time friends James Christian (Eyes, House Of Lords) and songwriting partner Mark Baker introduced him to Texas born singer ace Keith Slack. A twenty something ace discovery who was the perfect combination of Coverdale and Walsh, still with his very own distinct identity. Slack had moved to Los Angeles in 1990 to find a band and through the years has he worked with, among others Dave Marshall Band (Vince Neil, Brunette). The voice for STEELHOUSE LANE was found and Slamer started to pick songs to create a perfect commercial hardrock album. He decided to use some older songs he written like title track "Metallic Blue" (earlier covered by House Of Lords), Dr. Love (Hardline) and Addicted (Wall Of Silence) which he felt could be even better performed then the versions released .Also, several new songs were written and Slamer co-wrote these with among others Tom DeLuca, Harry Parress and Mark Baker. Joining Slack in the line up of STEELHOUSE LANE is former Rumble Tribe members DeWayne Barron on drums and guitarist Chris Lane. Rumble Tribe had released one James Christian produced album in Japan a couple of years ago. Rounding up the line up is bass player Alan Hearn, a long time friend of Slack.'s. The album was produced by Mike Slamer (who also contributed guitars and keyboards/programming to the album) and includes phenomenal singers Chris Thompson and Tom Field who were brought in to do backgrounds to create an even more perfect combination of harmonies in the choruses. STEELHOUSE LANE is not created for one album, it is planned as a long term project.
The band Originally came from Valencia, California, USA.
In 2010 Steelhouse Lane has released a remastered version of both their albums in one collection called:
Slaves Of The New World / Metallic Blue (Remastered 2CDs).

Steelhouse Lane Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I be so lonely
How can I feel so bad
Baby I miss you so much
The best love that I ever had
I could be on the rocket
To take me to the stars
I wanna be there with you
Right back in your arms

ohh, hold the light
ohh, the fire still burnin'
burnin'
baby I would cross the seven seas
Climb the highest mountain just to feel
the rhythm of your heartbeat next to mine
just to hold you one more time
baby I would cross the seven seas
to have you back with me
How could I be so foolish
Letting you walk away
Coz I didn't realize baby
that noone could take your place
So now I am coming for you
and I don't care how far
Coz I wanna be there with you
right back in your arms
ohh, hold the light
ohh, the fire stil burnin'
burnin'
Baby I would cross the seven seas
climb the highest mountain just to feel
the rhythm of your heartbeat next to mine
just to hold you one more time
Baby I would cross the seven seas;
ohh, I'd be so much stronger
the minute I see your face
Ain't gonna be much longer
coz baby I am on my way
ohh, hold the light
ohh, the fire still burnin'
Burnin'
Baby I would cross the seven seas
climb the highest mountain just to feel
the rhythm of your heartbeat next to mine
just to hold you one more time
baby I would cross the seven seas
baby I would cross the seven seas
climb the highest mountain just to feel
the rhythm of your heartbeat next to mine
just to hold you one more time

baby I would cross the seven seas
to have you back with me

SETE MARES

Como eu posso ser tão solitário
Como posso me sentir tão mal
Baby, eu sinto tanto sua falta
O melhor amor que eu já tive

Eu poderia estar no foguete
Para me levar para as estrelas
Eu quero estar lá com você
De volta em seus braços

Ooh, mantenha a linha
Ooh, o fogo ainda queimando, queimando

Baby, eu iria cruzar os sete mares subir a montanha mais alta apenas para sentir
O ritmo do seu batimento cardíaco ao lado do meu
Só para te segurar mais uma vez
Baby, eu iria cruzar os sete mares
Para tê-la de volta comigo

Como pude ser tão tolo
Deixar você ir embora
Porque eu não tinha percebido, baby
Que ninguém poderia tomar o seu lugar

Então agora eu estou vindo para você
E eu não me importo o quão longe
Porque eu quero estar lá com você
De volta em seus braços

Ooh, mantenha a linha
Ooh, o fogo ainda queimando

Eu vou ser muito mais forte
Em minuto eu verei seu rosto
Não vai ser muito mais tempo
Porque, baby, eu estou no meu caminho

Ooh, mantenha a linha
Ooh, o fogo ainda queimando, queimando
