Iron Savior – “Unification”
this band features Piet Sielck, Blind Guardian’s producer and Kai Hansen (ex-Helloween, now Gamma ray). In the 14 tracks that make up this release, you get clear production, each instrument is heard, plenty of guitar solos, riffs, etc… and vocals very much in the Blind Guardian style, medium to high. On this release you will even hear latter day versions of the Helloween classic, “Gorgar” and the Black Sabbath super classic “Neon Knights.” Track #15 is a song performed by Excelsis doing a song called “Dragon Slayer”, and I just don’t understand why this is included. This is serious power metal done to perfection. The only downer to this release is that it’s not as catchy as it could be, but in contradiction, it’s really hard to find fault in this release.
