Cool Darth,great to hear!   You should check out "Lionheart"  2004.In my personal opinion,this is Saxon's best LP. What a gem.

Hey J.D., I listened to Inner Sanctum a couple of times now and I think it was wind noise (not to mention that I listened when I was more awake).  Good CD.  
I already have a bunch of Saxon tunes on my laptop (Denim & Leather, Princess of the Night, Motorcycle Man, Crusader, Heavy Metal Thunder, and 747 (Strangers in the Night to name a few).  I'll probably search through iTunes and see what else is there.

Don't get me wrong - Saxon rock!, but just listened to Freedom Call - Tears Of Taragon...Biff does the narrative on it..probably the worst narrative in metal...ever!  (Great band btw..).
[Return_of_Darth_Painkiller_0870] Monday, March 09, 2009 6:25:39 AM 
My car stereo is fine.  Listened to Powerslave on the way to work this morning.  Maybe wind noise is muting Biff's vocals?  Time will tell as I intend to rip the CD to my iTunes this afternoon.  I do have a bunch of Saxon tunes on my laptop already, and I am looking to add more.  I'll have to PM you later with what I've got already.

Wow really? Are you sure its not the stereo your listening to it on? Because when I listen to it,his vocals are perfectly clear,the mix is right on how it should be..hum...not sure what to think about that one....not hearing what your hearing but its cool that you got a Saxon CD. 

The band has 18 studio albums and 12 of them are jewels.  The other 6 LPs...."Crusader"...the opening song is a great Saxon track by all means and album cover but the rest of the album is not that great.
Innocence Is No Excuse album.(1985)...."Rock The Nations".(1986)....and Destiny(1988) albums are not good at all,mid 80's hair band type of B.S.   

1990 "Solid Ball Of Rock" has a couple of good tunes but the other half is unworthy songs....same goes for the next album 1992 "Forever Free"...half of it is good,the other half is not.  Saxon's first 5 albums are good with only maybe 1 or 2 songs on each that is not(8 songs out of 10 is not bad) and Saxon's last 7 studio albums are excellent,again with maybe an exception of 1 or 2 songs  that are not up to the quality as the rest of the album,but again if an album has 10 or 11 tracks on it and you don't like 2 of them,thats still an albums worth of good material.That being said,I would recommend 12 Saxon LPs to Saxon fans.

1979 'Saxon"
1980 "Wheels Of Steel"
1981  Strong Arm Of The Law"
1981" Denim & Leather"
1983 "Power & The Glory"

1995 "Dogs Of War"
1997" Unleash The Beast"
1999 "Metalhead"
2001 "Killing Ground"
2004 "Lionheart"(Saxon's best record!)
2007 "The Inner Sanctum"
2009 "Into The labyrinth"

I bought my first Saxon CD over the weekend...The Inner Sanctum.  Musically brilliant, but it's difficult to hear Biff's vocals over the sonic speed at which they're playing.  For that reason alone, I am slightly underwhelmed by this disc.

SAXON     2009

Judas Priest will always be the masters,but Saxon are truly the most underrated band in the world of heavy metal.
They are buried underneath Judas Priest Iron maiden and Motorhead in the U.K. They should have Iron maiden's popularity because Saxon's last 7 studio albums blows away Iron Maiden's last 9 studio albums by far.
[J.D. DIAMOND] Thursday, March 05, 2009 4:06:27 AM 
Yes Hellrider my old friend,THE PRIESTBEAST are the Master of all metal big tall short and small. They are the reason for heavy metal and we are the soldiers!! You put us fans together with the masters of metal its like putting together a transformer!!

Thanks Freeze! You rock!!!  I've missed you too man!!  When I first joined January 1st 2005 and throughout the year I might of rubbed off on almost everybody here as an asshole who hated everybody,but the reason behind it was "image" in the realm of "metal"......just for simply defending the traditional  denim leather/spikes image...I got severely bashed.Why,I have not a clue but thats the reason all that arguing shit started.(lol!) Thats it! 

  And it just festered,not that I give a rats what people think of me but its kind of funny when ya look back at it!  I visit here and am not seen from for months at a time,but thats because I have no computer(on my room mate's comp.right now)but I will be getting one shortly and then I'll be around for the long haul Freeze!!

I am so glad to see you back with us, JD. Looks like some of the "old guard" have begun to stir!! I sincerely hope you get that new computer very soon as your presence here is needed more than ever!

So much has changed here and that is, of course, a fact of life. However, there are enduring friendships and that is so important. I look forward to your return, my friend. Perhaps yours will spur others and we can re-visit a time when things were different? When people cared more and bonds we reinforced daily. Maybe we can urge MM to return? And what about DAS?? Or even Tina?? So many wonderful people. Good friends. Let us hope you are the first of many, JD!
[J.D. DIAMOND] Thursday, February 05, 2009 4:51:58 AM 
Damn,6 times you've seen them live....I'd kill to see them once,but living in the Sates I will never get the chance! To bad they could'nt get on a tour with JP,Iron maiden or Motorhead over here to expose the band more. They definitly are underrated. I think Lionheart is thier best album too,then "The Inner Sanctum" would be my next choice.

Brand New 2009 SAXON     "Into The Labyrinth"  The band's 18th studio album!!!!!!
A must have for true British Heavy Metal die-hards!!!
13 tracks on this recording and in my opinion only 2 tracks are "B-side" quality...the radio single
"Live To Rock"....and "Hellcat".....the rest are absolute Saxon at thier best!!!!



A big hellow to "Deep Freeze"....."Metal meltdown"...."Headbanger"....."Hellrider"...and everybody else...I'll be back more often in a few months!

Judas Priest will always be my favorite band.   But with thier decision to move on away from "heavy metal" with "Nostradamus"(which is not a heavy metal album)and the question if they will ever return to heavy metal........(which I doubt).......SAXON are the "New Kings Of British Heavy Metal" in my book.

        SAXON         "The Inner Sanctum"   2007

Saxon's The Inner Sanctum  is one of Saxon's best LPs of the band's 29 year career!!!!   If anyone wants some good old fasion british heavy metal done the traditional way,then I advise you all to buy this album,all 10 tracks are excellent Saxon classics and the atmosphere here is just supurb.
Fucking excellent   A+ all the way,  great job SAXON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Redman] Thursday, June 12, 2008 12:05:38 PM 
Heh, well yea.. maybe you would enjoy living here. Lots of death metal bands here, and some black metal too... and that sort of stuff. And many popular bands come to play in Finland. From the old greats, this year there has been/will be Saxon, Priest, Maiden, Scorpions, Kiss, Leppard, Whitesnake, Slayer (I think) et cetera... Just to name few.

I'm definately sure it will be,they are writting thier best material these days,...have been since 1995's Dogs Of War album!! It will probly be released in 2009 next year....they don't have as long of tures as our Judas Priest and bands like Iron maiden..so you will see a studio album for sure by next year.....it will be Saxon's 30 year aniversary...1979-2009!!!!!
