Iron Savior

The self-titled Iron Savior is a vivid debut combining heavy guitar, valiant choruses and a grand narrative set in space. Made with Piet Sielck at the center and with Kai Hansen, known from Helloween and Gamma Ray, participating, it raises a sci-fi concept around a giant AI battlestation, “Iron Savior,” born of ancient Atlantis. Mechanical, hard riff-chopping and soaring, powerful singing appear in turn, powerfully advancing the whole album like one great adventure tale. From the development from the opener “The Arrival” to the title track “Iron Savior” and the drama of “Atlantis Falling” to the speeding “Riding on Fire,” the songs beautifully bind a sci-fi world and the intensity of traditional heavy metal, while cuts like “Brave New World” and “Children of the Wasteland” convey the work’s fullness. A record filled throughout with the high potential of renowned German-metal musicians gathered together. A grand concept and powerful songs are united at a high level. A powerful, ambitious debut that became the origin of the brilliant career of a band that would later grow into one of Europe’s leading power-metal bands — the band’s world established here.
