Critics have compared Iron Savior's sound and musical approach to classic heavy metal bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Queensrÿche. Kai Hansen's presence in the band brought to the Iron Savior albums on which he appeared a style heavily influenced by Gamma Ray and Helloween.
Since its inception, Iron Savior has released twelve studio albums, two EPs, three singles and one live album. Despite numerous lineup changes, Piet has continued to direct the band and is currently the only remaining founding member.

Heavy Metal Never Dies
Iron Savior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wind is howling
The skies are dark and dim
Something's got a hold on you
And drains you from within
Tangled up
In a world of sorrow
You lost believe
Don't surrender, stand your ground
Time to turn around
Burn down the bridges
And leave it all behind
Turn on the music
Let it purify your mind
Shout it out
And play it loud
Cause this is what it's all about
Heavy Metal - Heavy Metal never dies
Heavy Metal never dies!
Raise your head up to the sky
And let the music take you high
May your inner warrior
Ride again in pride
Burn down the bridges
And leave it all behind
Turn on the music
To purify your mind
Shout it out
And play it loud
Cause this is what it's all about
Heavy Metal - Heavy Metal never dies
Heavy Metal never dies!
[Solo]
And by the power of Metal
You'll be strong
To become yourself again
To finally go on and on
Burn down the bridges
And leave it all behind
Turn on the music
Let it purify your mind
Shout it out
And play it loud
Cause this is what it's all about
Heavy Metal - Heavy Metal never dies
Heavy Metal never dies!
[repeat]
The lyrics of Iron Savior's "Heavy Metal Never Dies" are a rallying cry for those who feel drained by the world and trapped in a sea of sorrow. The verse describes a bleak scene where rain is pouring, the wind is howling and the skies are dark and dim. For the singer, something is holding him/her down and draining them from within. They feel lost, and have lost faith in a better tomorrow. But the chorus provides the essential solution: "Heavy Metal - Heavy Metal never dies". It implores the listener to turn on the music, shout it out and play it loud. It urges the listener to burn down the bridges, leave behind the negativity, and allow heavy metal to purify their mind. The solo and repeat of the chorus play with the same theme of using the power of heavy metal to become strong again and finally go on and on.
