In a new interview with Tommy London and Tor of The Mighty VH podcast, vocalist Michael Starr of California glam metal jokesters STEEL PANTHER confirmed that fresh music from him and his bandmates is on the way. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “STEEL PANTHER‘s got a brand new record coming out. It’s untitled at this moment, but it is mastered. All the songs are done. We’re working on the artwork right now, and it’s gonna drop spring 2027, and a tour will ensue after that. And we’re gonna be dropping singles probably in February.”

last year, STEEL PANTHER‘s debut album, “Feel The Steel”, was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales in excess of 100,000 copies in the United Kingdom.

“Feel The Steel – 15th Anniversary Edition” was released worldwide on November 15, 2024. The 15th-anniversary edition features two tracks that were only released on the original Japanese import: “You Don’t Make Me Feel Dumb” and “I Want Your Tits”. The album was produced by Jay Ruston (ANTHRAX, COREY TAYLOR).

Earlier this year STEEL PANTHER introduced their fifth guitar pedal, the Platinum Pocket Pussy Melter — a modern-day reimagining of the pedal that started it all for them. The new pedal joins the list of industry-redefining effects stomp boxes: the Pussy Melter, the Poontang Boomerang, the Butthole Burner and the 1987. Also known as the P3M, the new pedal carries all the power of the original version in a new design that will fit inside any pants pocket or spandex bulge. The three tone knob controls will help guitarists perfect their tone with full control of their Loads, Sizzle, and Bootie. The pedal has been road tested by some of the biggest names in the gear industry. The Platinum Pocket Pussy Melter is priced at $139.99 for unparalleled ecstasy and is now available for order at: www.steelpanther.com.
