Iron ║ │ │║ Savior has been at the space sentinel business ║ │ │║ for more than 20 years now, and like that go-to ║ │ │║ old shoe or jeans, always delivers the goods ║ │ │║ quality-wise. æKill Or Get KilledÆ, yet another ║ │ │║ studio album by Piet Sielck (vocals, guitars) ║ │ │║ and his fellow space marines Jan-S÷ren Eckert ║ │ │║ (bass), Joachim ôPieselö Kⁿstner (guitars) and ║ │ │║ newcomer Patrick Klose (drums), comes as a ║ │ │║ statement that itÆs really, really hard to ║ │ │║ destroy the most resilient, enduring and ║ │ │║ stubborn metal of them all: the Teutonic. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Like every one of Iron SaviorÆs journeys into ║ │ │║ space since their debut, this is stacked with ║ │ │║ crunchy riffs, decent hooks and catchy, melodic ║ │ │║ passages, but thereÆs a stronger sense of ║ │ │║ nostalgia here, as the atmospheric and slower ║ │ │║ elements seen on efforts like their 1997 ║ │ │║ eponymous record and æUnificationÆ (1999). This ║ │ │║ doesnÆt appear until later in the album, though. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The title track opens up with the ever-so ║ │ │║ characteristic riffs by Piet and Kⁿstner, which ║ │ │║ then bursts into a sexy stumper full of attitude ║ │ │║ and personality. The chorus here is one of the ║ │ │║ best in the record, with a perfect blend of ║ │ │║ power and cheesiness. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ôRoaring Thunderö elevates the cheesiness by a ║ │ │║ LOT, so bring your insulin shot to this. ║ │ │║ Similarly paced to ôKill Or Get Killedö, but way ║ │ │║ more bombastic and pompous. Things continue to ║ │ │║ get sugary by the minute when ôEternal Questö ║ │ │║ comes in (I mean, look at this title, come on), ║ │ │║ but gladly the band is at its best here with ║ │ │║ on-point instrumental and marvelous vocal lines ║ │ │║ by Piet, especially in the epic chorus. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ PietÆs voice, by the way, is always something to ║ │ │║ praise. His harsh, raspy vocals are a breath of ║ │ │║ fresh air when comparing to the vast sea of ║ │ │║ power metal screamers who just lost their balls ║ │ │║ in a razor accident (or gender reassignment ║ │ │║ surgery, who knows?), and the Teutonic style of ║ │ │║ power metal is a perfect fit for his talents. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Songs like ôFrom Dust and Rubbleö, ôSinner or ║ │ │║ Saintö and ôStand Up and Fightö drink from the ║ │ │║ heavier side of the band. With good tempo and ║ │ │║ high-octane riffing, they deliver each note here ║ │ │║ which such conviction that itÆs hard not to get ║ │ │║ your blood pumping and fists in the air. While ║ │ │║ not even remotely creative, these moments are ║ │ │║ filled with energy and more than enough to keep ║ │ │║ you on your feet. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ But hey, itÆs not Iron Savior if there isnÆt a ║ │ │║ bombastic, epic anthem to tell the tales of ║ │ │║ those macho heroes I mentioned earlier, right? ║ │ │║ Fright not, ôHeroes Ascendingö is here to right ║ │ │║ that wrong. In a mix of Blind Guardian-esque ║ │ │║ leads and guitar speed that would make Kai ║ │ │║ Hansen blush, Piet and company sing their opus ║ │ │║ to the heroes of the universe with killer ║ │ │║ atmosphere and a strong, memorable chorus. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ôNever Stop Believingö has an uplifting aura and ║ │ │║ will probably serve as background music to ║ │ │║ workout, running or whatever excuse you use once ║ │ │║ a week to tell everyone youÆre not sedentary. ║ │ │║ This is lighter than the other tracks and offers ║ │ │║ a more unpretentious approach to Iron SaviorÆs ║ │ │║ characteristic sound. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Remember that feeling of nostalgia I mentioned ║ │ │║ earlier? ôUntil We Meet Againö and closer ║ │ │║ ôLegends of Gloryö are here to take you back to ║ │ │║ the heydays in the best way possible. The former ║ │ │║ is a mid-tempo juggernaut packed with a spacey ║ │ │║ atmosphere, riffs full of feeling and a strong ║ │ │║ emotional charge, while the latter features ║ │ │║ moments that could easily be on æUnificationÆ or ║ │ │║ æDark AssaultÆ (2001), especially in the more ║ │ │║ aggressive parts that precede the chorus and on ║ │ │║ the absolutely killer solo; best way to end the ║ │ │║ album.s ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ æKill or Get KilledÆ is essentially the same ║ │ │║ Iron Savior weÆve seen since ever, but with a ║ │ │║ stronger sense of saluting the past. ItÆs ║ │ │║ slightly better than its predecessor ║ │ │║ æTitancraftÆ (2016) quality-wise, but way more ║ │ │║ epic and grand. In fact, this is my favorite ║ │ │║ album from Piet & co. since æThe LandingÆ (2011) ║ │ │║ and easily their most significant one since ║ │ │║ æMegatropolisÆ (2007) in terms of songwriting. ║ │ │║ Despite not having an earth-stomping classic ║ │ │║ tune like ôTitans of Our Timeö, ôAtlantis ║ │ │║ Fallingö or ôRiding on Fireö, it has the ôPiet ║ │ │║ Sielck seal of badassness «ö, so youÆll find ║ │ │║ plenty to enjoy here.
