Straight from the STL, Riddle of Steel has been pounding out sweet melodies layered atop mathy rhythms for the better part of this century. The vocals of Andrew Elstner and Jimmy Vavek carry over dueling guitars whose notes shimmy with the fury of Conan the Barbarian's sword (the story of which provided the band its name). The band's 2005 release, "Got this Feelin" garnered critical praise and in support the ROS boys were recently sent overseas to tour. Coming soon is the band's third release, "1985", which was produced by Shiner's Paul Malinowski.
