Are you ready for another dark assault on the Metal mind? IRON SAVIOR - those brave new weird watchers in the sky are coming home with their eighth endeavor. These ironbound titans of our time guarantee that Heavy Metal never dies, by unleashing the forces of rage with their highest tier, reign of steel.

Even still I believe that their no guts, no glory, previous effort “The Landing” was their best attempt at riding on fire since “Condition Red”. It felt to me that “Megatropolis” and “Battering Ram” were lacking that burning star spirit, borne out of frustration. Thankfully, they have recaptured that raving mind over matter mentality and the unification of power, speed, and mettle is still present on “Rise Of The Hero”. With some of the best material penned in decades, these sworn protectors of Power Metal have something to prove.

Through the contortions of time, “Last Hero” honors the children of the wasteland with a burning heart. Without a warning, screaming out for vengeance, here comes “Revenge Of The Bride”. Although, the stone cold “Burning Heart” is rather basic, it is still honest. With the exception to “From Far Beyond Time”, the sci-fi elements have seem to taken a back seat to more fantasy-based themes, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Time will tell, but I am grateful the band seeks to reinvent themselves, and keep it fresh and still fast as ever.

Just like a battering ram, storming the gates, and bringing down the walls of Jericho, these iron warriors deliver the goods with the furious “Thunder From The Mountains”, verifying that the phantoms of death know just how to break the curse of monotony and contend with the like of STORMWARRIOR.

“Dragon King” is a bit more epic, and tends to drag on too much. However, I do enjoy hearing “Dance With Somebody” a cover by MANDO DIAO. This is not too crazy considering they performed their rendition of “Crazy” by SEAL. If you recall, GAMMA RAY also attempted PET SHOP BOYS and PARAGON did an awesome version of BACKSTREET BOYS' “Larger Than Life”. Overall, there are plenty of fist raising anthems like “Firestorm” “and “Iron Warrior”. Also, IRON SAVIOR always validate that PRIEST is still consistently present in the songwriting process, as “The Demon” echoes the haunting shades of “Beyond The Realms Of Death”.

Congratulations on other solid ball of rock, and a meteor shower of meaty power riffs, stellar soloing, and excellent song structure. I will forever support the environ of IRON SAVIOR.
