Iron Savior Releases New Lyric Video
Iron Savior has released a new lyric video for iconic anthem "Heavy Metal Never Dies." The album "The Landing" is out now on Vinyl on AFM Records.
The 10th Anniversary Edition of "The Landing," the band’s classic and most successful album, out now on Vinyl. In support of its 10th anniversary, German power metal force Iron Savior released a special edition of their 2011-classic album The Landing on November 19, 2021. Finally, the record is now also available on Vinyl through AFM Records!
"The Landing" became one of the most successful albums of the Hamburg-based band and was heralding a kind of resurgence for Iron Savior back then. It contains several classic tracks such as "Starlight", "Hall Of The Heroes" and - of course - the metal hymn par excellence, "Heavy Metal Never Dies" – a song which was streamed way more than 10.000.000 times until this day.
"We are absolutely thrilled about this very special release.“ Guitarist and vocalist Piet Sielck comments. "It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years already since “The Landing” came out, a true milestone in the history of Iron Savior. This tenth anniversary special edition with its subtile enhancements brings the timeless classics like “The Savior”, “Starlight” or the anthem “Heavy Metal Never Dies” with even more power and sparkle to your ears. Also check out the small changes and improvements of the reworked cover art. And now finally all this is available ON VINYL as well with “only” 5 months of delay." More...
Iron Savior Posts New Music Video Online
Iron Savior are about to add another classic to their discography with "Skycrest." The fact that Hamburg is not only the "most beautiful city in the world" but also the capital of Powermetal has been well known since the late Eighties. It should also be familiar to any friend of melodic, heavy sounds that Iron Savior, the band around mastermind Piet Sielck, belongs to the the Hanseatic Metal Circus like the Reeperbahn to the Kiez. Founded as a solo project in 1996, Multitalented Sielck, who has established his reputation as both guitarist and producer, has ensured over the years that the quartet has not only grown in depth but in character.
In celebration of the release, which will be out through AFM Records on December 4th, the band has released a new music video for the song "Souleater." You can check it out below. More...

Iron Savior Announces New Release "Reforged"
Hamburg based power metal band Iron Savior was facing a problem: what to do when your early albums are not available regularly anymore but a re-issue is not possible due to legal reasons? Well, the decision was made to use this situation to give the material a sonic upgrade.
"We can’t re-release our albums from the Noise Records years in their initial form," band boss Piet Sielck says, "but we are free to re-record songs from these albums. We’ve approached this challenge with a lot of enthusiasm."
What Sielck refers to, became a 19 track strong double album now, titled "Reforged - Riding On Fire," which consists of the best and most popular songs Iron Savior has released so far. These 2017 re-recordings come with a much more powerful sound of course, but the band managed the task to keep the songs’ character and feel. The album will be issued via AFM Records on December 8th as a 2CD digipak and double vinyl.
Demand is steadily rising: especially after the band’s latest album "Titancraft" (2016), which became the biggest chart success in their history, new fans wanted to discover Iron Savior’s catalogue. They’ll now get the best 19 tracks with an upgraded sound – of course mixed by Piet Sielck.
"Reforged - Riding On Fire" is a highly enjoyable treat for old and new fans alike. The track list is as follows: More...

Iron Savior's Piet Sielck also comments: "AFM has informed me that our 'Megatrolis' album is sold out, so the idea came up to rework the material and release a new edition. Being unhappy with the album for a long time, I am absolutely delighted to get a chance to correct my errors. The new mix will carry all Iron Savior trademarks such as big choir backings and lots of multi timbral vocals. I left all these goodies out at the time to make the album more distinguishable from my former second band Savage Circus... a fatal error, which I finally can correct now." More...
