Crying Steel’s Steel Alive albums were out through Jolly Roger Records in 2019. Crying Steel’s album was a reprint of the first two albums and unreleased live tracks on a double CD. The first disc featured the first two releases Crying Steel (1985) and On the Prowl (1987) completely remastered. The second disc contained all the songs from Crying Steel and On the Prowl performed live. These were recorded to commemorate the band’s 30th anniversary in 2016.
