12-27-2011: Iron Savior - Iron Savior

Back in 1997, it was incredibly difficult to find power metal.  You pretty much used Helloween as your gateway, then started researching from there.  One day during that time, shortly after we discovered Helloween and subsequently Gamma Ray, on a trip to the Missing Link (a now defunct, kick-ass metal CD shop in St. Louis), The Tasteless Wine Critic opted for Iron Savior's self titled debut on the recommendation of Frank (the Missing Link's proprietor).  Needless to say, we were not disappointed.  I think we both shit our pants a bit when this song came on for the first time.  A car speaker may have been blown as well, but I'm not sure on that one.
