Non-musical stuff: As it's written on the Iron Savior booklet, The Iron Savior is a gigantic vessel in the orbit of the planet earth. It is controlled bu an immortal human brain - the bio-unit - wich is hooked to a mighty computersystem that carries out the vessel's daily routine. The Iron Savior was built and designed by the ancient civilisation of Atlantis to defend themselves against the deadly thread of the so called Alliance.

Pantera

Discography:

Title	Year		Genre
Metal Magic	1983	LP	?	Never heard it, but it seems that it was glam!
Projects in the Jungle	1984	LP	?	Never heard it, but it seems that it was glam!
I am the Night	1985	LP	?	Never heard it, but it seems that it was glam!
Power Metal	1988	LP	Power Metal	Not joking, they played True Metal, and they did it quite well!
Cowboys From Hell	1990	LP	Modern Metal ?
Vulgar Display of Power	1993	LP	Modern Metal ?
Far Beyond Driven	1994	LP	Modern Metal ?
The Great Southern Trendkill	1996	LP	Modern Metal ?
Official Live 101 Proof	1997	LP	Modern Metal ?

Description & Hystory: Pantera aren't Heavy Metal, at least not True Metal, but I know that many people believes that their first album is Cowboys from Hell (and I've heard that this is what the band says...), and this is not true: I've listened to their Power Metal album, it was quite good to my defender's ear (and this is why I'm putting them on this page), but I have heard also about them dressed up like women and with lipstick beetween 1983 and 1985... it sounds like they're a little posers, aren't they?

Powers Court

Discography:

Title	Year
Equinox demo	1993	demo	Short but good. Very dark and some of it is fairly fast.
Powers Court	1996	demo	Full album with all the Power of Ozzy meets Testament
Nine Kinds of Hell	1997	demo	Wow. just wow. Remember the mood of Black Sabbath when they started? A very good comparison. The lyrics are all original and are steeped in the occult. Topics include magic, suffering, witchcraft, betrayal.

Description & Hystory: Formally Equinox, Powers Court is Heavy Metal Music. The sound reminds me of Testament, and some older Danzig and Dio. It is very dark and intense. The rhythm varies from a thrash-lover's wet dream to a haunting, melodic riff sure to depress even the most sincere goth.
