Skycrest is the twelfth studio album and eleventh original album by German heavy/power metal band Iron Savior, which was released on 15 March 2019. Production was marred by several issues such as bassist Jan-Soren Eckert having been diagnosed with cancer, from which he fully recovered, and the coronavirus pandemic.[8]
