Iron Savior: The Landing (2011)

The new Iron Savior album, The Landing, is out.

Haven't heard any songs yet, but read some reviews, and it seems that this album is very good.

Can't wait to get it

I hope it is an improvement over the last one, which was very very bland...

Any new Iron Savior is always good news just like Primal Fear.

I loved Iron Savior's last one! I hope this one is as good, or better.

I have it in my hands, and it's awesome

Enjoy yourself.....

This is better than their past 2 albums. Very good album by Iron Savior. Nice return to form.

My brother sent me a copy, haven't listened to it yet. I've actually started listening to more power metal lately, do they qualify?? Believe it or not I've never heard of them!! I assume it's power metal, that's all he listens to.

It is. It can't help but be better then the last two offerings which were boring.

I am looking forward to getting this one.

It is much better than Battering Ram and also quite a bit better than Megatropolis.

I wouldn't say boring, but lackluster would qualify. At least compared to their first 5 or 6 albums. My favorite IS album is still UNIFICATION!

Yes indeed, German technical power/speed metal.

Haven't heard anything from this band since BATTERING RAM which was what, two or three albums ago?

Still love their first album and the INTERLUDE EP but after that they got a little "same ol' same ol'" for me.

Battering Ram, then Megatropolis, and vocalist.guitarist Piet Sielck has also been busy in between IS albums with his Savage Circus side project. Yeah, those early discs were magical indeed! Piet Sielck and Kai Hansen are old friends from Hamburg and great musical collaborators, as well!

Ok, lackluster works for me. Like Freddy said, they got kind of samey and it lost me.

I've only heard a few songs so far so i can't really give my opinion yet. By the way, Dark Horseman, nice picture, where did you find it? I was the one that made it(well i copied and pasted the guitar over the tusken raider)

Admittedly, I never really followed Iron Savior. I've heard a few songs before, of course, liked them well enough, just never took the time to explore their discography. They sort of fell through the cracks for me somehow. But I liked this one. It's nothing revolutionary or wildly original, just some straight-up fun and catchy power-metal. I'm kind of a sucker for German power and speed metal, so no surprise that I like this.

I can't say how it compares to any of their previous albums or anything, but this clueless newbie enjoyed it. Take that for what it's worth, I suppose.

Awful band, awful album.

It wasn't a great album, but it was still an improvement over the abysmal Battering Ram.

megatopolis was a unqualified snoozefest.

Their sound doesn't appeal to me much, I guess it has something to do with the vocals
