Cold Steel... for an Iron Age is the third studio album by Australian extreme metal band Deströyer 666, released in June 2002. The album's artwork was never approved by the band; Season of Mist thought the original artwork was "too power metal", so the band was rushed to produce a new cover.{{cite web|last1=Masters|first1=Megan|title=Interviews : Deströyer 666 (Ian Shrapnel) – 9/12/2009|url=http://www.metalobsession.net/2009/12/08/destroyer-666-ian-shrapnel-9122009/|website=Metal Obsession|accessdate=7 April 2018}}
