Hamburg-based power metal veterans, Iron Savior, return with their brand-new album Awesome Anthems Of The Galaxy, out now via Perception, a division Of Reigning Phoenix Music. With this release, the band led by Piet Sielck transforms iconic ’80s hits into powerful, melodic metal anthems, blending nostalgia with the unmistakable Iron Savior sound.
To celebrate the release, the band have also premiered a brand-new music video for their thunderous cover version of the Michael Sembello classic, “Maniac”. Check it out below.
After reigniting their cosmic engines with “Machine World – Reforged” in 2025, IRON SAVIOR embark on their boldest mission yet. With “Awesome Anthems of the Galaxy”, IRON SAVIOR tap into the heart of ’80s pop culture and reforge it with thunderous riffs and soaring vocals, combining nostalgia, passion, and the band’s trademark precision and fire, proving that the past can shine brighter than ever when reforged in metal.
From the electrifying rush of A-ha’s“Take On Me” and the thunderous drama of Phil Collins’ “Against All Odds” to the cinematic pulse of Jermaine Jackson & Pia Zadora’s“When The Rain Begins To Fall” and the adrenaline-fueled “Maniac” by Michael Sembello, IRON SAVIOR turn pop classics into heroic, melodic metal anthems. With “Awesome Anthems of the Galaxy”, IRON SAVIOR prove once more that great songs never age – they just get heavier!
Frontman Piet Sielck comments: “After the huge success of the 2002 Condition Red bonus track ‘Crazy’ (Seal), which was actually used in a HBO TV show, we have been asked by fans and medias almost constantly to do a complete cover tracks album. So, two decades later here we are!” says frontman Piet Sielck. “Awesome Anthems continues the transformation from pop-to-metal in Iron Savior style as started with Seal’s ‘Crazy’ and Eurythmics ‘Sweet Dreams’. We are absolutely proud of the outcome, which never looses the original vibe of the tracks but yet is 100% Iron Savior. Just listen yourself. I guarantee a lot of smiles while doing so!”
With Awesome Anthems Of The Galaxy, Iron Savior fuse nostalgia and futurism, passion and precision, proving once again that the past can shine brighter than ever when reforged in metal.
