There are bands that have a definite formula on how to make an effective power metal record, and make it work every single time. Iron Savior is definitely one of those bands. They established a certain style years ago, and now they execute with precision and heaviness.
Not to say their albums sound robotic, or manufactured. Not at all, Iron Savior still sound very organic in their approach. The songs have a lot of personality, and there is a level of sensitivity. It’s that what they do, they do it really well, and reached certain level of excellence from which there’s no return.
Firestar is an explosive album, and it rocks hard. The band offers 11 tracks of pure power, and closes with a Judas Priest cover. Instrumentally, this is an absolutely perfect album. There is not a note out of place. Everything is worked out to the last detail. Firestar is a very smooth and satisfying listen. Each spin opens this record more, and you find the melodies that at first seemed hidden.
Iron Savior can definitely be proud of such great catalog, and Firestar is a worthy addition. It would be great to finally see the band do some touring in America, so the fans could finally experience the band face to face, and enjoy all of those great tracks in a live setting. Firestar is a power unleashed from a top notch band!
