Megatropolis is Iron Savior's sixth full-length album, released on June 4, 2007.[3][4][5] It was recorded, mixed and engineered at Powerhouse Studios in Hamburg in February 2007 with the drums being recorded at HammerMusic in January 2007. The album was re-released in 2015 as Megatropolis 2.0 with partly re-recorded vocal tracks, new mixed sound and a different track listing, as the band was dissatisfied with the original product.[6] It is the last album to feature Yenz Leonhardt on bass, who would then join Stormwarrior shortly that year.

Background
In a descriptive detail regarding the 2015 re-release of Megatropolis, Piet Sielck explains:
"AFM has informed me that our "Megatropolis" album is sold out, so the idea came up to rework the material and release a new edition. Being unhappy with the album for a long time, I am absolutely delighted to get a chance to correct my errors. The new mix will carry all Iron Savior trademarks such as big choir backings and lots of multi timbral vocals. I left all these goodies out at the time to make the album more distinguishable from my former second band Savage Circus... a fatal error, which I finally can correct now."

Notes
- "Iron Watcher" is a medley of the songs "Iron Savior" and "Watcher in the Sky" from the band's 1997 debut album Iron Savior.
- "The Omega Man" and "Cybernetic Queen" were mistakenly misspelled as "The Omega Men" and "Cybernatic Queen" on the original back cover track listing but was fixed on the 2015 re-release with the latter still maintaining its name
