IRON SAVIOR Announces New Album 'Deathbringer', Shares First Single 'Back From The Fires Of Hell'

German power metal force IRON SAVIOR will release a new studio album, "Deathbringer", on November 13, 2026 via Frontiers Music Srl.

To celebrate the announcement, IRON SAVIOR has unleashed the LP's first single, "Back From The Fires Of Hell", along with an official visualizer, available below.

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/"

Hamburg-based IRON SAVIOR have long established themselves as one of Europe's most consistent and productive power metal bands. With their monumental new studio album "Deathbringer", the band around Piet Sielck has more than one reason to celebrate: following the third instalment of the "Reforged" series, for which IRON SAVIOR completely re-recorded the songs from their Noise Records era, as well as a covers album, the band now presents a brand-new studio album.

This next chapter in the band's history finds IRON SAVIOR in outstanding form — full of energy, punch and soaring anthems. In support of "Deathbringer", the band will also hit the road together with MYSTIC PROPHECY. And this certainly should not go unmentioned: the band is celebrating 30 years of IRON SAVIOR.

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".

What unites all songs on the new album is their anthemic character — always one of IRON SAVIOR's greatest strengths. "Climbing Higher" provides a powerful motivational boost, excursions into melodic speed metal territory such as "Light In The Dark" are present as well, and the fast, high-energy title track "Deathbringer" immediately grabs the listener's attention. The stomping, relentless "Creature's Tale" also stands out as another highlight of the album.

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.
