Hamburg based power metal band Iron Savior are featured on the Masters of Rock 2017 DVD. A clip of the band performing "Heavy Metal Never Dies" at the festival can be viewed below.

Masters Of Rock 2017 took place from July 13th - 16th in Vizovice, Czech Republic. Other bands on the bill included Epica, Moonspell, Pain, Delain, Kreator, Running Wild, Stratovarius and many more.  

 

Iron Savior was facing a problem: what to do when your early albums are not available regularly anymore but a re-issue is not possible due to legal reasons? Well, the decision was made to use this situation to give the material a sonic upgrade.

“We can’t re-release our albums from the Noise Records years in their initial form”, band boss Piet Sielck says, “but we are free to re-record songs from these albums. We’ve approached this challenge with a lot of enthusiasm.”

What Sielck refers to, became a 19 track strong double album, now titled Reforged - Riding On Fire, which consists of the best and most popular songs Iron Savior have released so far. These 2017 re-recordings come with a much more powerful sound of course, but the band managed the task to keep the songs’ character and feel.

Out tomorrow, Friday, December 8th via AFM Records, available as  2CD digipak and double vinyl. Listen to “Battering Ram” from the upcoming release below.

Demand is steadily rising: especially after the band’s latest album Titancraft (2016), which became the biggest chart success in their history, new fans wanted to discover the band’s catalogue. They’ll now get the best 19 tracks with an upgraded sound - of course mixed by Piet Sielck.
