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.

Iron Savior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In peace and in silence
Rays of the sun
Rip through the clouds
A new age is to come
The darkness decays
The heavens are shining
A New World will move on
So many lives
Out in the fields oh so many have died
Now we will rise
The chains that have held us are broken
And now we are
Free, from the tyrant
The conqueror's been banished
Free, and united
The throne in the sky now is
Free, free from the tyrant
Relentless we fought to be
Free, free and united
We have outlasted the war
The shadows of war
They came from the stars
To search a forgotten land
Rescue they brought
With thunder they fought
The tide has turned as the appeared
So many tears
Oh, we will always remember the years
Earth has been burned
But then they returned
To save us and now we are
Free, from the tyrant
No more we'll fight
Return to the light
The conqueror's been banished
The savior has vanished
The mighty machine
A million life's dream
Outlasted the past
Out in the vast
Free, from the tyrant
After the war
The world is unchained
Freedom we've gained
The Savior's been banished
The fortress has vanished
In peace and in silence
The world will move on
Darkness and war
No more we'll fight
We have returned, returned to the light
The lyrics to Iron Savior's song Unchained speak of a new day dawning and a new age coming. The darkness is decaying, and the heavens are shining golden and blue, enlightening the dawn.

Oh, we will always remember the years

But then they returned
But the beings that came from the sky returned
To save us and now we are

There will be no more fighting
Return to the light
We will return to a peaceful state

The one who saved us has gone
The mighty machine
The powerful weapon or machine we relied on
A million life's dream
The hopes and dreams of millions of lives
Outlasted the past
We have overcome the past and persisted
Out in the vast
In the vast expanse of space or wilderness
After the war
After the war is over
The world is unchained
The world is free from its chains
Freedom we've gained
We have acquired freedom
The fortress has vanished
The stronghold or fortress of our oppressors has disappeared
In peace and in silence
Silence and peace surround us now
The world will move on
The world will continue forward
No more we'll fight
We will no longer fight
We have returned, returned to the light
Our journey has led us back to a peaceful and enlightened state
