Kaltes Eisen

Kaltes Eisen (Cold Iron) is the fourth studio album by the American metal band Kairos. It was released March 2015.

Recording and Production
Recording Kaltes Eisen was quick and relatively simple. Dawn stated that "The idea for a Neue Deutsche Harte tribute album had been there for awhile, and though we wanted to do something, none of us had many ideas for a brand new album. We were careful about the track list though, as we didn't want to emphasize one band over another."

Themes
As a tribute album, the themes were roughly loose and unconnected. Erika said in an interview "The goal of the album was to give thanks for a genre that has given the world a lot of good music, but it's not known very well beside Rammstein."

The name Kaltes Eisen was chosen because the band felt it described the genre as a whole.

Reception
Kaltes Eisen was met with generally positive reception. Critics felt the tracks were well covered and were put together nicely so that they sounded like a Kairos album, but also like a collection of songs from different artists. They also felt the artists covered were given fair representation.
