Battering Ram is the fifth studio album by the German power metal band Iron Savior. It is the first album to feature bassist Yenz Leonhardt.
Unlike the first four albums, Battering Ram is not a concept album, but instead has songs covering a broad variety of topics. However the story of the eponymous Iron Savior is still continued in the songs "Battering Ram", "Tyranny of Steel", "Time Will Tell" and "Machine World". This would dictate the format the band would use to tell the story going forward.
The album was released to generally favorable reviews, with reviewers citing the band for remaining faithful to the genre of Power Metal. Allmusic gave the album 3 1/2 stars, with Alex Henderson stating that "Everything on this CD sounds like it could have been recorded 20 or 25 years earlier, which is just as well, because Savior's members are undeniably good at what they do. No one will accuse Savior of being the most groundbreaking band in the world, but in terms of quality and craftsmanship, they deliver the goods -- and what they lack in originality, they more than make up for with passion and conviction".
