As requested by omen of hate, here's the Belgian Stainless Steel, and their "The Warrior / The Axe"-single from what I guess is early 1983.

Edit: Forgot to add info: A-side (The Axe, contrary to what might be implied on the sleeve) is a speedy number with a riff similar to early NWOBHM acts like CRUCIFIXION. B-side is a slower song - a bit German sounding, especially on the vocals. Or Dutch perhaps - reminds me a bit of SAD IRON.
Great choruses all round and (in my opinion) a very nice heavy metal single. Strange that it isn't featured on Metal Archives. And remember: "The Axe is gonna fall on you! No matter what you do."

Anyways, I appreciate your comments!

Just played it for the first time. Definitely my kind of Metal. Maybe not the most exciting songwriting evah' but I like the clenched-fist attitude of it. Cheers Khnud!
I know I've seen that sleeve a couple of times before, both on ebay and at metal markets. I don't think it's THAT rare or pricey to be honest..

Who says this is THAT rare or pricy? Last one I saw was priced 15 euro. And it turns up a lot more than for example the Shellshock LP.

I've seen it on a list for 120€, but I always thought that was quite overpriced.

I can put a Ratt record on a list for €500, doesn't mean that the record is rare or pricey. I know the list you talk of by the way. He'll never sell that Stainless steel for that price.

Thank you for turning my ears to this 7", it's pretty good.
