Los Angeles, California:<\/strong> It had to happen sometime. Fleetwood Mac<\/strong> might have the reputation of a classic AOR band, but if you track back through their near-60 year career, there\u2019s a wealth of songs that completely defy such one-dimensional branding. And the forthcoming tribute album Steel Rumours – The Songs Of Fleetwood Mac Reforged In Metal<\/em> is replete with a dozen of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From their earliest years as a blues band, through the hard rock with which guitar legend Peter Green<\/strong> flirted in the early 1970, the underground sounds of the first half of that decade, and then the glorious pop-rock of the Buckingham-Nicks<\/strong> era, Fleetwood Mac remain impossible to accurately categorize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you need proof of that, listen to how readily even their greatest hits can be recast into pure, livid metal, as Lorraine Lewis<\/strong> (Femme Fatale<\/strong>), Holly West <\/strong>and Fred Aching<\/strong> (Dead Groove<\/strong>), Candice Night<\/strong> (Blackmore\u2019s Night<\/strong>), Corey Parks<\/strong> (Nashville Pussy<\/strong>), Tim \u201cRipper\u201d Owens<\/strong> (Judas Priest<\/strong>), Ronnie Romero<\/strong> (Rainbow<\/strong>), Vinnie Appice<\/strong> (Black Sabbath<\/strong>) and more come together to rampage through the songbook<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, they journey from \u201cBlack Magic Woman\u201d and \u201cThe Green Manalishi (With The Two Pronged Crown)\u201d to \u201cLittle Lies\u201d and \u201cEverywhere,\u201d via \u201cRhiannon,\u201d \u201cGypsy,\u201d \u201cDreams,\u201d Stevie Nicks\u2019s solo \u201cEdge of 17\u201d and, released as a digital single today, \u201cGo Your One Way,\u201d a 6 x Platinum Top 10 hit in 1977.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring genre-crushing performances from Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake<\/strong>, Night Ranger<\/strong>, Trans-Siberia Orchestra<\/strong>) and Greyson Nekrutman<\/strong> (Sepultura<\/strong>), \u201cGo Your Own Way\u201d also features veteran metal queen Doro Pesch<\/strong>, the first woman ever to grace the Monsters of Rock festival stage back in 1986, and whose band Doro<\/strong> were recipients of one of Gene Simmons<\/strong>\u2019s finest ever outside production jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside the scything guitars that lift this performance so far from Fleetwood Mac\u2019s original, Doro\u2019s husky, haunted vocal takes the song to a whole new level – one that might not thrill the diehard Mac-heads out there (or maybe it will?), but will certainly electrify the metal community. And just wait until you hear how Hoekstra reinvents the song\u2019s signature guitar solo! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I\u2019ve always liked the song,\u201d says Doro, \u201cAnd it was fun to give it a new twist\u2014especially with a great guitarist like Joel Hokstra and powerhouse drummer Greyson Nekrutman.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dropping on November 20, Steel Rumours – The Songs Of Fleetwood Mac Reforged In Metal<\/em> is surely among the most imaginatively conceived, and brilliantly realized tribute albums of 2026, a blast from a past that some people will probably say they never paid attention to at the time\u2026 of course, they were too busy listening to metal to switch on the radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you can bet that they still know all the words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
