(8/10) (10/10) (9/10) I few weeks ago I could witness Saxon live on stage. The five-piece from Birmingham played a fabulous show at 013 in Tilburg, a set that featured classics like "747 (Strangers in the Night)", "Heavy Metal Thunder" and Wheels of Steel"....

It was an ice cold February evening when British metal icons Saxon had a stop at 013 in Tilburg to warm up the city with some hot metal riffs. No less than the legendary Diamond Head joined Saxon on their European tour and it was Brazilian metal newcomers...

This year’s Rock Hard Festival edition will take place from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th of May - the Whit Weekend. As usual the Rock Hard team could put together a very exciting billing, which looks like this so far: Saxon Overkill („Feel The Fire“ & „Horrorscope“-Set)...

(9/10) It’s next year when British metal pioneers Saxon will celebrate their 40th anniversary. It means a lot to be in business for such a long time. To be such a stable factor demands passion and quality, both key-characteristics of the British quintet....

Metal pioneers Saxon announced a new longplayer that’s supposed to be in the record stores on February 2nd, 2018. “Thunderbolt” is already record number 22 in the bands long and rich history in metal. The new studio longplayer features eleven songs and...

(8/10) I guess that Saxon was one of the bands I have seen live most during the last years. It was always a pleasure to this fivepiece live on stage. Next to excellent new studio releases Saxon shows their real strength when they play live To capture...

I think that there is no band I have seen more often during the last years than Saxon - Haarlem 2012, Zoetermeer 2013 and now Zoetermeer again in 2015. It's always a pleasure to see the five guys on stage. Saxon stands for passion and dedication for metal....

(8/10) Art demands freedom and freedom screams for independence. That's when art, and also music, gets best. Everything that's forced, for whatever reason, ends up in compromisses that limits the creativity and the result. Why do I start with such a philosophical...

Also Saxon comes with a first new song called "Battering ram" which is the title track from the upcoming album - the 21st studio album of the NWoBHM legends. And as "Sacrifice", also the new longplayer seems to become a very good one. Stay tuned. Source:...

(7/10) Hmmm. What should I say about this album? That was and still is my question after several rounds of listening to the twelve songs. The Storyteller comes from Sweden and is playing power metal with a very melodic component. Sometimes they remind...

(*/10) It was in 2002 when Saxon released a compilation album called "Heavy metal thunder". The album came with 13 Saxon classics from the late 70's and the early 80's; each of them even new recorded by the 2002 line-up. Part of the release was also a...

(8/10) The eagle is on the road again. Next to the Saxon tour, taking place right now, the metal icons also released a CD/DVD package called "Warriors on the road". It is the continuation of "Chronicles" from 2001 and the focus is more on 'old and new'....

(8/10) Since decades we know Biff Byford as charismatic frontman and singer from the NWoBHM legend Saxon. Interesting enough the Byford did a sidestep from the mighty metal band. According to the motto 'a rolling stone doesn't gather moss' Byford started...
