Listen to the song The Village it starts off bit sow but after 1min30secs it rules!

edit: Oh yeah and Custard

about the bands you mentioned before, I only listen sometimes Iron Savior. I saw then on stage in 2000 with Grave Digger and it was a not bad show ( I said this because they came as a power trio, Piet playing all the guitarse himself and the sound was a bit weak...)

Yeah they've upgraded themselves now

Was Kai Hansen with them at that stage?

no man, Piet, Jan on bass and the drummer ( Thomas). Was a bit strange....

I am sure you know that Iron Savior is Piet´s band, he plays guitar and vocals, and the second guitar is usually Piesel, but on stage many times they add Uwe Lulis ( ex- Grave Digger) so they are most of the times 3 guitars when they play live. Even in a spanish show 3 years ago more or less ( the last show with Kai) they were 4 guitar players on stage! This is the reason I wrote it was strange to see IS live with only one guitar player. I think now it´s clear..... or not?

Haha i see what you mean...i didn't know much of IS all the years ago i only discovered them a few months ago

I admit I am not a fan of them. I listen, and I like the band, but I don´t consideer myself as a total fan of IS.

Ahhh come on man how much does Never Say Die rule!?!?! That whole album kicks some serious butt!

the guitar solo of the last song of the cd ( not including the cover of JP) is really good.

After The War?? Yeah tis a nice one

NP: Iron Savior - After The War :banana1:

I would like to have the first release of Is, but I couldn´t find it at the moment...

I don´t know the song that you are talking about, but i´m tto curious now, cause in the new masterplan´s cd there is a song that´s called After this war, a ballad that jan writted at first time for iron savior...

maybe it is a former version of the song of IS.

Iron Savior is a great band which is far under-rated.

They have released only good albums, even though I admit that the last album isn't as good as the other ones.
One little negative thing is that their albums sounds quite similar but still it's not a big problem because the music is really good, and at least they have different songs in every album.

I saw them live few years ago, during the last tour with Kai on the guitars. Honestly, it was one of the best show I have attended so far !
Great energy, warm gig, perfect metal style !
And Tuomas was a hell of nice person.

It's a real pity that this band isn't really famous.
It is one of the best actor in the actual metal scene.
