rob - 22.06.2004, 18:22The album!!!
Hello headbangers out there!! I have created this new topic to have your opinions you guys who have listened to the new release. You want to have mine? I have bought the record this morning, the limited edition which contains a bonus track and a tattoo representing the band's logo. The album is really awesome!!!!! But these words cannot traduce enough my impression and emotions: It is by far and without doubt the band's best release to date, and for sure this album has to be aclaimed as a true heavy metal masterpiece, no fucking way! Thanks to Piet, Joachim, Thomas and Yenz for giving us a kicking ass album, you're great!!! I cannot wait for a live performance. :D :D

I got the album on last tuesday. I'm listening to it everyday :D
Anyhow amazing! It completely knocked me out. This album brings me to the true-heavy-metal world. Thanx for the great album and everyone in the band, Yenz, Thomas, Piesel and Piet.

I think this is IS's best album for guitars! There's a lot more going on and the solos are even cooler than before! Fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!
My only complaint is that this album seems to suffer from a lot of distortion and repressed vocals. Things sound somewhat thin, bass-less, uncrisp and unclear at times. Still kicks ass, though!
I hope you guys also heard their songs on Heavenly's album Coming from the Sky. Riding Through Hell and Time Machine. Killer stuff!

I listened to it for the first time today. Loved it =D
It's certainly the best release from Iron Savior ever. I instantly liked Stand Against the King, Tyranny of Steel... the others are great, but those two really stood out for me. (By the way, I thought the commentary on the downloadable MP3 of Stand Against The King is hilarious - and people say the Germans don't have a sense of humour!)
So well done to Piet, Piesel, Thomas and Yenz - an excellently written and performed album! If I ever get to that level of songwriting...
Re: The album!!!
strangehighways - 21.07.2004, 12:40yes!
This new album is incredible!!! The production is very very good. The guitars sound so powerful, and the choruses are really catchy!!! Iron Savior are one of my favourite power metal bands now!! I just can't ge enough of this album!! It's gonna be in my cd player for ages :D

blindhammer - 07.09.2004, 06:52
I think its safe to say that this album is addicting
Re: The album!!!
BlackRain - 09.09.2004, 11:09
I can't add anything new... I also bought the album because it's simply amazing!
Vocals, guitarplay, melodies, everything is just falling into place perfectly. A big compliment to IS for making this great music!

Stas Hoffmann - 19.03.2005, 04:05
I don't agree with who said that album is the best of IS... My mark only 6,5/10 MAXIMUM! Vocals, guitars, bass, drums are cool as they are - professional musicians, but I can't help but say that the things are not so true as they seem for the first time! Sorry, I haven't read IS story (I cannot find its full version!). The Battering Ram album has none melody! I can't remember any solo or riff some time later after listeing to the album... Not good enough, I guess.
Good news is the new bass player! Wow, he's great! In the begining, when Jan leaved the band, I thought that trere's no bassist greater than he. It was a very big mistake!! Yenzs bass makes unbelieveble impression!
But I think if the next works of IS will be in te same way, Piet should take help of other compositors. IS won't be a successful band with releases like the last.

Hey Stas - see, perhaps that is just me, but I feel that you were a liiiiiiitle bit too strict with your critic. - No offense, I respect everyone's opinion.
I see what you say, when I first heard BR, I couldn't remember much of it either.
But, see, I have been hearing metal for like 11 years now, and I'm not saying I'm an expert or anything like that; I'm far from it, but even after hearing tons and tons of metal records, is not like you can always remember a song right away. Sometimes you need a certain amount of time to "digest".
So, at least for me, the standard metal way is like, you know, you hear an album a few times, and then you really start to feel it; you start to identify your favorites.
Yes, undoubtedly there are exceptions; albums that no matter how many chances you give them, you just can't find enough good things.
(Personally, that happens to me with PowerGod - Evilution Part II. I'd keep just one song from it - but that's about it!!)
Sometimes we are tricked by our own predisposition; perhaps what it happened here is that you read the previous comments posted, (almost all of them mentioned instant "stickiness") so your expectations got hard to match; It makes sense...
Come on, give it another shot, man. I mean, try to hear it 5 or 6 times, and while you do, just think of the IS you know to date. If you really feel the same way after that, well, then I guess It was not what I thought it was, and I won't bother you anymore. But If you just happen to change your mind... you'll have more IS favorites, I promise.
I think that Battering Ram is a good album. I won't say is better than the others, because they are VERY hard to outbest, they're all way cool, damn it!!
But BR is within the same quality parameters. I feel it has the good old IS unique style that we have come to know and love.
The songs I prefer are Battering Ram (Pure Power!!), Riding Free (I love that "Sometimes I wish myself just far away..") and Starchaser.

Of course, you're rite in your words. You'd listen to a big deal of bands and albums, in order to have your own opinion. But it's not nesessary to listen to it for years and years, and years. You've been listening to metal 11 years, me - since 1995, Piet began to play metal much earlier than 1984, Hellowenie knows more rock stars than I saw photos of them (for exemple! :shock: ) - all these facts don't mean that one of us cannot' talk about music...
Well, if I understand you rite, & so you (will) do - what about word of 'true album'. But to be true & to be successful - aren't the same.
I agree, this album is true (good qality of music, perfomed by professional musicians, high rate of works and so on). But the album isn't so popular & successful than some others - Unification, Condition Red... (Minimum of melodies, most of songs are by the one middle temp, guitar solos whitch couldn't be remembered from the 1st time).
That's all. :)

I had to register to this forum after hearing Battering Ram! I borrowed it from the library, but I have to buy this record to myself :) I just have to say that this album is very very good: really good guitar sound, good playing, extraordinary vocals by Piet and a bunch of kick ass events...
I'm really looking forward to the beginning of 2006 when the next album is about to come (acoording to this website). Hopefully the sound is as great as it is in BR. So, Piet should be the mixing man...
Thanks for the great music! It's great that old style heavy metal is still done with fresh ideas better than ever.
