great to see Iron Savior still kicking around, I have so much nostalgia attached to the original Battering Ram album, and this track in particular - that i am having a hard time liking this one as much. What i can say though is just how much cleaner it sounds compared to the more raw sound of the Battering Ram, Condition Red, and Unification.
Great to hear a new version of this! Interesting that you shifted the melody up a bit, similar to the chorus on the Landing's version of Atlantis Falling, gives it a different yet familiar feel. I hadn't noticed how Judas Priest-inspired the intro was until just now, it definitely has a Painkiller feel to it :) Looking forward especially to what the new full Watcher in the Sky sounds like, instead of it being a medley - that was the first song of yours I ever heard!
This is an interesting / very good re-recording. The production is even better than the original... modern & sharp, as is the vocal performance... & also the overall musicality / lead work. Sounds like they have improved as musicians as well as in the recording studio, something a lot of bands fail to do. Good work!
Könnte es sein, daß diese Version eine andere Tonart hat als das Original? Da geht ziemlich viel Aggresivität verloren. Außerdem klingt das ganze verdächtig nach Drumcomputer :-/
GEHIRNE ander Tonart: ja, in drop D gestimmt, da fetterer Sound Aggression Verlust: nein, da Vocals mehr Druck machen durch höhere Lines und Produktion viel mehr ballert. Drumcomputer: nein, wie schon auf Titancraft als Midi eingespielt. Ich kann verstehen, wenn man die Originale bevorzugt, aber deswegen muss man die Neuaufnahmen nicht mit an den Haaren herbeigezogenen Gründen schlecht machen. Ist halt Geschmacksache. Ich persönlich finde die neuen Versionen geiler
