Iron Savior
Interlude (Noise)
by Scott Hefflon
Interlude, we’re told, is just that: a tide-me-over (that’s tide, bio-writer at Noise, not tied) record to satisfy Iron Savior fans’ appetite ’til the new full-length comes out summer of ’00. Odd thing is that the five live tracks come before the four new tracks, when it’s usually done the other way around. But the bonus cover, Judas Priest’s classic, “Desert Plains,” is the final cut, so that, at least, makes sense. It also strikes me as funny that a band with only two records out (’97’s self-titled and ’99’s Unification) has a “live greatest hits” record, even if combined with an EP of new material. But then again, no one asked me…
