Title: Wow! Piet without Kai sounds even better!
Review: Who would have guessed that Kai Hansen was actually holding Piet Sielk back? That's certainly the way it seems as Condition Red definitely sounds much better than Iron Savior's previous releases. For those of you not aware, Iron Savior is Piet Sielk's epic sci-fi rock opera project which in the past seemed to be getting most of its attention from the presence of Kai Hansen (ex-Helloween, Gamma Ray), however, Kai has since abandoned this project to devote all his time to Gamma Ray. Well let me just say that after listening to Gamma Ray's latest album, Piet just blew you out of the water Kai! Condition Red is better than Gamma Ray's extremely weak and derivative No World Order in just about every way. Piet's vocals in particular are much better than Kai's and have a Dioesque quality to them as opposed to Kai's attempts to sound like he's a poor man's Rob Halford. Honestly if you love a good Power metal album, this is a must buy.
