Iron Savior Mark Awesome Anthems Of The Galaxy Arrival With 'Maniac' Video
(CSM) Iron Savior return today 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.
The album is receiving strong praise: Rock Magazine writes it's "surprisingly packed with strong hit potential!", while Break Out Magazine confirms: "Damn powerful anthems, brilliantly executed by IRON SAVIOR!". Stormbringer adds: "Awesome Anthems Of The Galaxy is an album that proves one thing: nostalgia can sound pretty damn heavy when you run it through the IRON SAVIOR engine!"
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". The track perfectly showcases IRON SAVIOR's ability to turn catchy pop structures into driving heavy metal, combining pulsating synth melodies with razor-sharp guitar riffs and a soaring, instantly memorable chorus. The result is an energetic reimagining that stays true to the spirit of the original while delivering a much heavier punch.
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, combining nostalgia, passion and the band's trademark precision and fire, proving that the past can shine brighter than ever when reforged in metal.
"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," Sielck recently said, and adds: "So... two decades later here we are!" quotes 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 loses the original vibe of the tracks but yet is 100% IRON SAVIOR. Just listen yourself... I guarantee a lot of smiles while doing so!"
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", 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!
