│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Power metal, sci-fi themes, sexy-ass riffs, ║ │
│║ fantastic laser beams and intergalactic heroes ║ │
│║ charging at the sight of injustice and evil; ║ │
│║ what more could a nerdy metalhead want? Iron ║ │
│║ Savior has been at the space sentinel business ║ │
│║ for more than 20 years now, and like that go-to ║ │
│║ old shoe or jeans, always delivers the goods ║ │
│║ quality-wise. æKill Or Get KilledÆ, yet another ║ │
│║ studio album by Piet Sielck (vocals, guitars) ║ │
│║ and his fellow space marines Jan-S÷ren Eckert ║ │
│║ (bass), Joachim ôPieselö Kⁿstner (guitars) and ║ │
│║ newcomer Patrick Klose (drums), comes as a ║ │
│║ statement that itÆs really, really hard to ║ │
│║ destroy the most resilient, enduring and ║ │
│║ stubborn metal of them all: the Teutonic. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Like every one of Iron SaviorÆs journeys into ║ │
│║ space since their debut, this is stacked with ║ │
│║ crunchy riffs, decent hooks and catchy, melodic ║ │
│║ passages, but thereÆs a stronger sense of ║ │
│║ nostalgia here, as the atmospheric and slower ║ │
│║ elements seen on efforts like their 1997 ║ │
│║ eponymous record and æUnificationÆ (1999). This ║ │
│║ doesnÆt appear until later in the album, though. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The title track opens up with the ever-so ║ │
│║ characteristic riffs by Piet and Kⁿstner, which ║ │
│║ then bursts into a sexy stumper full of attitude ║ │
│║ and personality. The chorus here is one of the ║ │
│║ best in the record, with a perfect blend of ║ │
│║ power and cheesiness. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôRoaring Thunderö elevates the cheesiness by a ║ │
│║ LOT, so bring your insulin shot to this. ║ │
│║ Similarly paced to ôKill Or Get Killedö, but way ║ │
│║ more bombastic and pompous. Things continue to ║ │
│║ get sugary by the minute when ôEternal Questö ║ │
│║ comes in (I mean, look at this title, come on), ║ │
│║ but gladly the band is at its best here with ║ │
│║ on-point instrumental and marvelous vocal lines ║ │
│║ by Piet, especially in the epic chorus. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ PietÆs voice, by the way, is always something to ║ │
│║ praise. His harsh, raspy vocals are a breath of ║ │
│║ fresh air when comparing to the vast sea of ║ │
│║ power metal screamers who just lost their balls ║ │
│║ in a razor accident (or gender reassignment ║ │
│║ surgery, who knows?), and the Teutonic style of ║ │
│║ power metal is a perfect fit for his talents. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Songs like ôFrom Dust and Rubbleö, ôSinner or ║ │
│║ Saintö and ôStand Up and Fightö drink from the ║ │
│║ heavier side of the band. With good tempo and ║ │
│║ high-octane riffing, they deliver each note here ║ │
│║ which such conviction that itÆs hard not to get ║ │
│║ your blood pumping and fists in the air. While ║ │
│║ not even remotely creative, these moments are ║ │
│║ filled with energy and more than enough to keep ║ │
│║ you on your feet. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ But hey, itÆs not Iron Savior if there isnÆt a ║ │
│║ bombastic, epic anthem to tell the tales of ║ │
│║ those macho heroes I mentioned earlier, right? ║ │
│║ Fright not, ôHeroes Ascendingö is here to right ║ │
│║ that wrong. In a mix of Blind Guardian-esque ║ │
│║ leads and guitar speed that would make Kai ║ │
│║ Hansen blush, Piet and company sing their opus ║ │
│║ to the heroes of the universe with killer ║ │
│║ atmosphere and a strong, memorable chorus. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôNever Stop Believingö has an uplifting aura and ║ │
│║ will probably serve as background music to ║ │
│║ workout, running or whatever excuse you use once ║ │
│║ a week to tell everyone youÆre not sedentary. ║ │
│║ This is lighter than the other tracks and offers ║ │
│║ a more unpretentious approach to Iron SaviorÆs ║ │
│║ characteristic sound. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Remember that feeling of nostalgia I mentioned ║ │
│║ earlier? ôUntil We Meet Againö and closer ║ │
│║ ôLegends of Gloryö are here to take you back to ║ │
│║ the heydays in the best way possible. The former ║ │
│║ is a mid-tempo juggernaut packed with a spacey ║ │
│║ atmosphere, riffs full of feeling and a strong ║ │
│║ emotional charge, while the latter features ║ │
│║ moments that could easily be on æUnificationÆ or ║ │
│║ æDark AssaultÆ (2001), especially in the more ║ │
│║ aggressive parts that precede the chorus and on ║ │
│║ the absolutely killer solo; best way to end the ║ │
│║ album.s ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ æKill or Get KilledÆ is essentially the same ║ │
│║ Iron Savior weÆve seen since ever, but with a ║ │
│║ stronger sense of saluting the past. ItÆs ║ │
│║ slightly better than its predecessor ║ │
│║ æTitancraftÆ (2016) quality-wise, but way more ║ │
│║ epic and grand. In fact, this is my favorite ║ │
│║ album from Piet & co. since æThe LandingÆ (2011) ║ │
│║ and easily their most significant one since ║ │
│║ æMegatropolisÆ (2007) in terms of songwriting. ║ │
│║ Despite not having an earth-stomping classic ║ │
│║ tune like ôTitans of Our Timeö, ôAtlantis ║ │
│║ Fallingö or ôRiding on Fireö, it has the ôPiet ║ │
│║ Sielck seal of badassness «ö, so youÆll find ║ │
│║ plenty to enjoy here. Long live Iron Savior. ║ │
