IRON SAVIOR vocalist Piet Sielck explained how the song holds a very special meaning for him. Even its title immediately catches the ear, as it directly recalls “Through The Fires Of Hell”, a track from the previous album “Firestar”.

“I wrote the first lyrics before I received my cancer diagnosis… Then poetry turned into bitter reality… Although in a different way than I had originally imagined”, he said. “We went through this together… ‘Through The Fires Of Hell’ is therefore more like poetry dedicated to my wife, while ‘Back From The Fires Of Hell’ is more of a reflection on actual events.”

About signing with Frontiers, Sielck commented: “I’m extremely excited to announce that IRON SAVIOR has joined the Frontiers Music family. After all these years in the metal world, it feels truly special to start this new journey with a new partner by our side. Even more special is the fact that this step also means reconnecting with longtime friends and companions from the past — people I have shared many years of musical experiences with and who share the same passion for honest, powerful heavy metal”.

“With Frontiers behind us, we are looking forward to celebrating 30 years of IRON SAVIOR and the release of our new album, with great energy and excitement, and a lot more to come with Frontiers by our side”, he added. “A huge thank you to all the fans who have supported IRON SAVIOR throughout the years. Your passion keeps the fire burning. Heavy metal never dies \m/”

As usual, Piet Sielck once again produced the album himself — at his own Powerhouse Studio, a well-established name in the field of powerful metal productions and a place that has long been inseparably connected to the sound of IRON SAVIOR. With “Deathbringer”, the band delivers the perfect successor to their successful 2023 album “Firestar”.

With “Deathbringer”, IRON SAVIOR also return to the concept album format. After 200 years of peace, the galaxy once again stands on the brink: the Shadows, an insectoid species and ancient enemy of mankind, have returned. Aboard the gigantic Deathbringer vessel, their immortal Queen has preserved the last remnants of her species inside an eternal digital hive — sustained by the life force of countless worlds. Now the IRON SAVIOR and the Alliance must face an enemy more powerful than ever before.

Musically and narratively, “Deathbringer” brings together everything IRON SAVIOR have stood for over the past three decades: powerful power metal, huge choruses, sci-fi grandeur and a band that, even after 30 years, has lost none of its energy.
