Steve Ramsey is a British guitarist who began his career with the British heavy metal band Satan in the early 1980s,[1] releasing a single and an album, a second album under the band name Blind Fury, an EP and another album after changing the band name back to Satan and two more albums after renaming the band name once again - to Pariah.

After the split of Pariah in 1990, he teamed up with singer Martin Walkyier (ex-Sabbat) to form a heavy metal band with strong folk influences, called Skyclad.

Ramsey is influenced by classic hard rock acts like Thin Lizzy, Uriah Heep, etc. While initially starting as a thrash metal band with folk influences, these "classic" roots became more and more visible in Skyclad's music over the years.

Steve Ramsey has also participated in other band projects, for example as album guest and live guitarist for Forgodsake.

Steve Ramsey is also a guitar and bass-guitar teacher at many schools across the North-East; such as Benfield School.
