Notes:
Swedish power metal band, formed in 1998.
I had heard of IRONWARE several years ago already,
through a few mp3s and then completely lost site of
the band. Now they have re-surfaced with LMP, with
their debut album ôBreak Outö, it can go that fast.
FRETERNIA singer Pasi Humppi and guitarist Niklas
M÷ller founded the band in 1998, after releasing a
demo called ôTales From A Twisted Worldô and a MCD
titled ôReturn Of The Kingô they signed with the
Hamburg based Power Metal brigade and with a
production of Andy La Rocque and P-O Saether from
the Los Angered and Underground Studios respectively
they seem to be out with a head start.
Now when you hear LMP, then you almost automatically
make the connection to Power Metal and also in the
case of IRONWARE you are not far off, because
undoubtedly this is the basic ingredient for the
Swedes, even though they successfully incorporate
some other elements into their sound.
After the obligatory intro ôGatewayô ôHoly Manô
comes through mid-paced, with Pasi HumppiÆs good,
but somehow pressed voice (somehow you get the
feeling as if he is about to hurt himself) and just
good melodies and catchy chorus. ôDark Sunö breaks
through the Swedish forests, again with very catchy
chorus and also some keyboards in the back, while
ôFrom Deep Insideö is introduced by epic keyboards
and altogether is more Melodic Metal, although
picking up a bit later.
ôSanctuaryô comes through jaunty and fast, followed
by the more epic ôSaviorsö, with stronger keyboards
and a catchy chorus, which is just repeated a little
oftenà All of them examples for almost exemplary
catchiness and also good song writing, which is
further proved by the following ôReturn Of The
Kingö, more epic again, with piano introduction,
then turning into a powerful midtempo, just to be
underlaid with double bass in the epic chorus,
strong song, no doubt! What is striking with
IRONWARE is that they also break out of the usual
Power Metal vein and introduce some Melodic Metal
and Hard Rock, which becomes more evident in the
guitars, as to be heard on ôWhat Is Going Onö, which
I like a lot.
So what is the verdict IÆm going to pass over
IRONWAREÆs debut ôBreak Outö? Well, it is not really
original, but at the same time well written and well
played, that the production is top is clear from the
mentioned names already. That they do not only play
the typical Power Metal is a definitive plus, but
when you have read this, you will know anyway, if
this could be something for you or not, the sheer
quality of the songs definitely is there.
