Iron Savior join forces with PERCEPTION
Архив новостей | Русская версия
IRON SAVIOR are one of the dinosaurs in the scene as well as pioneers of the traditional power metal genre and can proudly look back at almost 30 years of history. Founded by Piet Sielck (guitars, vocals) in 1996, the Hamburg, Germany based group quickly established themselves with their energising mix of power metal and sci-fi driven lyrics. Especially fantasy inspired metalheads have always been in love with IRON SAVIOR's early works which are built on a story about a spaceship carrying the band's name and their popularity is unbroken. "Iron Savior" [1997], "Unification" and "Interlude" [both 1999], "Dark Assault" [2001], "Condition Red" [2002] and "Battering Ram" [2004] were bestsellers - until they ran out of stock.
In order to meet the demand, IRON SAVIOR -- now consisting of Sielck, guitarist Joachim Küstner and a rhythm section powered by Patrick Klose (drums) and latest member Patrick Opitz (bass) -- didn't only re-record the material from their Noise Records years [1997-2004], they even added an additional doze of enthusiasm to the original songs. Part 1 and 2 of these session have been received enormously well from fans, that's why the group are even prouder to announce the release of the concluding third part of their legacy worshipping "Reforged" series today.
Due out on August 22, 2025, "Reforged - Machine World" can already be pre-saved here. The new 2CD/LP marks the quartet's debut release at their new label home PERCEPTION, the promising new division of Reigning Phoenix Music, where they (re-)unite with other well-known acts such as DANKO JONES, GRAILKNIGHTS, J.B.O., and SERIOUS BLACK among others. Pre-save first single 'Eye Of The World,' which is also due out on May 30.
Band leader Piet Sielck comments: "After collaborating with Nils Wasko and Jochen Richert [managing director] at AFM Records, I didn't have to think twice when it came to deciding about a new partner. Continuing success, chart entries and three satisfied parties - band, fans and label - are more than enough reasons to follow the two of them to PERCEPTION and the Reigning Phoenix Music family. Onwards to at least 15 more years of this fruitful union!"
Label strategist Wasko adds: "We're really thankful for IRON SAVIOR's trust, and we're equally happy to continue working with Piet and his fellow men at PERCEPTION. Having a collaborative long-term plan, IRON SAVIOR are only warming up, and we're extremely confident to reach new extragalactic spheres together, with their final "Reforged" chapter blasting off on the journey to their next original studio album. Power and melodic metal maniacs, go aboard!"
