Saxon
Saxon, brittiskt heavy metal-band bildat 1976. Gruppen brukar räknas in i genren New Wave of British Heavy Metal, och hade sina glansdagar i början av 1980-talet.
Bandet började som en sammanslagning av bland annat de två brittiska banden SOB och Coast. Tillsammans kallade de sig Son of a Bitch. Några år senare övergav de det namnet och valde just Saxon som nytt namn.
John Verity på Tapestry Studios lät dem spela in en demo, som de presenterade för olika bolag, men de hade svårt att bli upptäckta då New Wave låg i topp. Efter några månader upptäcktes de av Peter Hinton på EMI, som rekommenderade dem till Claude Carrere och hans nya Carrere Records. Han lyssnade på deras demo och erbjöd dem ett kontrakt.

Sacrifice 2013 (Ltd) 2 CD
A limited edition deluxe digibook (including a bonus disc featuring the revisited classic tracks).<br/><br/>With a storming new stomp in their boots and a renewed, lithe swagger to their legendary sound, Saxon will release "Sacrifice", in February 2013 through UDR. Taking a sharper, re-invigorated approach to the production, on this, their 20th album, Saxon have produced 10 of their strongest, heaviest and most inspired songs for many-a-year, and a more than worthy successor to their last album "A Call To Arms".<br/><br/>"Less tricks, more power!" roars frontman and founding father Biff Byford, "my brief to the band was to be raw, be real and not be afraid to look back at the old classic material for inspiration."<br/><br/>The album was recorded at LS Studios in Yorkshire and was produced by Byford with Andy Sneap mixing and engineering by Jacky Lehmann. It fairly bristles with muscular metallic intent, Paul Quinn's and Doug Scarratt's guitar work the best it's ever been, while Biff's vocals sound fresher and livelier. The songwriting too harks back to a classic era in Saxon's history, with the likes of 'Warriors Of The Road', 'Wheels Of Terror' and 'Stand Up And Fight' evoking the halcyon days of yore with a contemporary twist, the classic Saxon sound absorbing the snarl, ferocity and attitude of contemporary bands (and fans) such as Megadeth, as evidenced by the crunching title cut 'Sacrifice'.<br/><br/>"It's certainly been done from a more early '80s thrashier perspective," explains Biff, "and it's not just guitars bashing away willy-nilly, they've got a fresh drive, purpose and perspective."<br/><br/>Besides the new material, Saxon will also be adding some unique recordings of revisited classic to certain formats of the release, also produced by Byford and mastered by Andy Sneap, including an orchestrated version of 'Crusader' and an acoustic version of 'Frozen Rainbow'.<br/><br/>"From the songs to the production, I wanted to focus on the raw aspects which made us great in the first place," concludes Biff, "And living in that rawness, combined with some great classic Saxon-songwriting, has in my opinion made Saxon fresher than ever."
