Iron Savior is the baby of guitarist/producer Piet Sielck, and he brought in Gamma Ray's Kai Hansen and Blind Guardian drummer Thomen Stauch (Hansi Kursch also adds vocals to one song) for this debut, which was the start of the band's story about a space station which was meant to support the city of Atlantis, but instead ruined the world, before people start to fight back. Or something along those lines. That's not just for this album - that's the band's complete career.
Overall,
Iron Savior is fast and invigorating, even if it slows down after a very speedy first few tracks, while the songs themselves suffer a bit from a lack of melodious imagination, but have enough energy in them to make it a worthwhile listen. Best songs include "Atlantis Falling", "Riding On Fire", "Protect The Law" (especially) and "For The World."
