Iron Savior: Difference between revisions

Early albums focused on the story about the eponymous Iron Savior, an advanced spaceship built by the Atlantians of ancient Earth to destroy the evil mainlanders who were assaulting their island paradise, known as The Alliance. The mighty Iron Savior was loaded with an AI that was catastrophically corrupted by the Alliance, who went on to destroy the Atlantian Moon Colony, and an Atlantian strike team had to board the vessel and sacrifice themselves to send it out into deep space to prevent the devastating weapon being used against Atlantis. They programmed it to return in 350 years, in hope that by then the Alliance would be defeated. Due to an error, it was accidentally programmed to return in 350,000 years, instead. With the Alliance's temporary upper-hand gone, the situation quickly devolved into nuclear warfare, blasting both sides of the conflict back into barbarism. From which... Our world evolved.

* [[And I Must Scream]]: The Iron Savior is a unique combination of man and machine run by a "bio-unit" and the brain of its creator. ({{spoiler|Or so it appears until the fourth album}}) It's been kept conscious for ''millennia'' while drifting through space. ''Watcher in the Sky'' is the first song in the continuity to evoke this trope.

* [[Atlantis]]

** In ''Dark Assault'', "I've Been To Hell", "Dragons Rising", and "Made Of Metal" collectively serve as the [[He's Back]] Song, where the Iron Savior realizes [[My God, What Have I Done?|what it has done]] by attacking Earth in 2108 and thereby killing the descendants of Atlantis, and it resolves to return and set things right by saving humanity from the extradimensional invaders that now threaten them.

* [[Concept Album]]: The albums telling the Iron Savior story. They were a Concept Band for a while, though the main storyline has become less blatant in later albums. ''Megatropolis'' is about a futuristic city that doesn't appear to be directly related to the previous story.

Right, that's what I am! }}
