Saxon

BMG are proud to release this deluxe anthology that looks back at the years which built the Saxon legend. Spanning their first nine albums 'Decade Of The Eagle' is the very best of the first decade of their astonishing career. This anthology represents the sweep and scope of what Saxon have achieved. <br/><br/>They were certainly a core part of the whole NWOBHM movement, perhaps the greatest metal genre of them all, but moved beyond this to become one of the all-time masters of heavy metal. But in doing so, Saxon have also ensured they are now representative of the heart and soul from the NWOBHM time. They have done this by remaining true to the values which established them in the first place. Driven by a desire to continuously set the highest standards and meet them head on, Saxon's work on those nine studio albums still resonates resoundingly. From 'Rainbow Theme', the opening track on that debut, to 'Red Alert', the closing song on 'Destiny', this is timeless stuff. Music that will continue to inspire metalheads for generations to come, as it has influenced so may up until now. In those immortal words, fill your heads with... HEAVY METAL THUNDER!

Saxon's self-titled debut album was originally released on 21st May 1979 and is arguably the first NWOBHM album to be committed to tape. It took the new sound of NWOBHM and paired it up with their early progressive and glam rock influences. It was the band in their infancy but ultimately put them on the map as one of the bands spearheading the heavy metal revival that was sweeping the nation at that the end of the seventies. This version includes their early demo when the band were called Son Of A Bitch, some early BBC session tracks and some live songs from the inaugural Monsters of Rock festival.
