Iron Savior, the Hamburg power metal legends, are unveiling their take on the evergreen eighties hit Take On Me, originally by Norwegian pop and art rock outfit A-Ha!
Besides the latest single, aka the cover, there are three more similar covers waiting at the bottom of this news piece: Forever Young (orig. Alphaville), Fame (orig. Irene Cara) and Relax (orig. Frankie Goes To Hollywood).
These covers will appear on the upcoming covers compilation “Awesome Anthems of the Galaxy”, coming out in March 2026 via Perception, a division of the German label Reigning Phoenix Music.
You can already stream the Take On Me cover on all digital platforms!
The compilation album “Awesome Anthems of the Galaxy” is already available to pre-order!
After firing their cosmic engines back up with the album “Machine World – Reforged” in 2025, Iron Savior are heading out on their boldest mission yet. “Awesome Anthems Of The Galaxy” reshapes some of the most iconic pop hits of the 80s into full-blown power metal epicness!
From the electronic beats of A-ha’s Take On Me to the thundering drama of Phil Collins’ Against All Odds, and on to the cinematic hit When The Rain Begins To Fall by Jermaine Jackson & Pia Zadora and the adrenaline rush of Michael Sembello’s Maniac, Iron Savior are in the right place at the right time throughout, turning the big pop classics of the eighties into bristling, ultra-catchy power metal marches!
