Rise of the Hero is the eighth studio album by German heavy metal band Iron Savior which was released on 28 February 2014 via AFM Records.[3] It was recorded, mixed and mastered at Powerhouse Studio in Hamburg from June - December 2013 with the drums being recorded at Rekorder Studio in November 2013.
When giving all the insight on the album, Piet Sielck gave a brief explanation as needed:
"As usual, the new album was recorded and produced in my own Powerhouse Studio. So, what can be expected? A full dose of first-class, heavy music; power metal to the max! We’ve got one really big surprise for you all though, and so far, it’s just been known as 'The Surprise Track'….. We recently did a cover version of Mando Diao’s “Dance With Somebody” and, whatever works is allowed, right? Originally it was recorded only as a bonus track for the limited edition, but we simply liked it so much that we finally decided to make it a regular album track….."
