IRON SAVIOR – after 10 albums that included chart placements for „Titancraft“ (2016) and „Kill Or Get Killed (2019), and over 7,5 million streams for the hymn „Heavy Metal Never Dies“ it is quite clear that IRON SAVIOR from Hamburg are a pillar of the Power Metal scene.
Due to external circumstances a lot of time ticked away since the release of „Kill Or Get Killed“. Piet was busy working on new songs for two full years, although he started the songwriting for “Skycrest” immediately after the last album. He explains: “Over the two years I sometimes lost my connection to the songs, I composed and approved them and then… I did something else first. Therefore, in the hot phase of production, when I worked intensively on it again, I was sometimes completely surprised at how good the material actually is. After almost every lead vocal that was finished, I had a new top favorite. That never happened to me before."
„During the production of "Skycrest" the fortune put a few spokes in the wheel, in form of a pandemic and a serious illness of our bassist Jan (who, thank God, has now completely recovered). That facts certainly rubs off on the creative process, but does not focus on the negative events. On the contrary, it binds the band together a good deal more. Corona also had an influence, of course, and at once precisely not. During the lockdown I´ve had a lot of time, but I couldn't manage anything creatively. I just didn't manage to write great lyrics and positive songs in this heavy times. I also didn't want this depressive „Corona mood“ to appear on the album. We don't live in Seattle and do tune our guitars, so depression is not us. I still had to motivate and discipline myself strongly, but then things went smoothly, the ideas and the enthusiasm returned. I allowed the positive energies much more to happen than the negative ones. So the bottom line is that IRON SAVIOR is and will remain positive and uplifting."
Power Metal at it‘s best, unbroken joy of playing that even the pandemic can‘t suppress, tight guitar solos, catchy choirs and the exceptional vocals by fronter Piet – all that means that IRON SAVIOR are about to add another classic to their discography!
