SteelHeart: Where Power Meets Perseverance For 35 years, SteelHeart has been synonymous with one thing: the jaw-dropping, multi-octave vocal fury of Croatian-American frontman Miljenko Matijevic. Born from steel and fueled by heart, this powerhouse rock band has survived tragedy, transcended trends, and refused to fade. Their 1990 self-titled debut hit like a sledgehammer—going Gold, cracking the Billboard Top 40, and spawning international chart-toppers “She’s Gone” (#1 for 17 weeks) and “I’ll Never Let You Go (Angel Eyes)” (#14). Japan alone bought 33,000 copies on day one. But on Halloween 1992, during their final tour stop in Denver, disaster struck. A thousand-pound lighting truss crashed onto Matijevic mid-performance, shattering his face and spine. Most would’ve called it quits. Mili walked off that stage—and four years later, walked back on. Since then, he’s lent his voice to Mark Wahlberg in Rock Star (2001), fronted The Doors alongside Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger, become a superstar in Korea (performing for 60,000 at The Dream Concert), and kept SteelHeart’s flame burning with albums like Good 2B Alive (2008), Through Worlds Of Stardust (2017), and the 30th-anniversary reimagining STEELHEART 30 (2023). Most recently, Matijevic teamed with Tesla’s Jeff Keith for a scorching cover of Foghat’s “I Just Want to Make Love to You” (October 2025). New music drops spring 2026. SteelHeart doesn’t just survive. They soar. 

Today, the band boasts nearly 1 million YouTube subscribers and over 200K combined followers across Facebook and Instagram.
