The Landing

The Landing is a work on which Iron Savior powerfully carries through traditional power metal with a sci-fi world, via hard, steel-like riffs, speeding powerful rhythm and valiant choruses. After the dystopian direction of the previous album, it returns to the band’s native cosmic world and straight metal. Piet Sielck’s powerful singing and guitar give the songs a straight, sure drive. A record whose appeal is a back-to-origin power. From the development from the opener “Descending” to “The Savior” and the drama of “Starlight” to the powerful “Heavy Metal Never Dies,” every song is engaging, while cuts like “Hall of the Heroes” and “March of Doom” convey the work’s fullness. Even in speed-filled fast songs, the vocal melody is always clear, firmly keeping the adventurous, elevated mood the title suggests. A record letting you truly frankly and powerfully enjoy the straight-path intensity of heavy metal. It supports a grand world and powerful songs with sure playing. A powerful, engaging, fulfilling work showing Iron Savior’s unshakable character and steady ability — a record where the band’s true worth can be savored.
