Released shortly after the bands second studio album, ‘Interlude’ is the 1999 EP by German power metal band, Iron Savior. While their debut album was decent enough, their follow-up, ‘Unification’ was a solid release, with some strong compositions and performances. But sadly, they seemed to have gone back a step with this rather mundane, by-the-numbers disc.

Broken into two parts, live tracks and new tracks, there’s not really anything here that stands out. The live songs, taken from the bands 1998 Wacken Open Air festival performance, are okay. They’re nothing amazing, although the crowd seem into it, which is pretty nice to hear, but I think I’d prefer the studio versions.

Then there are the new compositions, and man... these suck. I just totally can’t get into any of them, and not for any particular reason either, they’re just not doing anything for me. The best one is a bloody Judas Priest cover, which in itself isn’t bad, but speaks volumes about the bands original output here.

Overall, this is one for die-hard fans... if any actually exist.
