Another excellent release from this concept band, the fourth in the series about the fictional story of Iron Savior.
This was the first album the band put out without Kai Hansen, but as much as he was the reason I bought the first album of this band in the first place, this album stands alone without his influence. Of course, Piet Sielk has always been the ringleader of Iron Savior, and this is another great example of his work.
You don't have to know the story being told here to enjoy the album. In fact, ignore all of the past history of the band, and enjoy the album as a singular entity, and it won't lose anything in comparison. The “continuing story” may be important to some fans. To me however, the music and the songs are all that matter, and here they continue to be of the highest standard.
My favourites from the album include Titans Of Our Time, Protector, Condition Red, Walls Of Fire, No Heroes and Thunderbird.
Rating : More great power metal. 4/5.
