Saxon..NEW ALBUM SET FOR JAN. 2018

Very good track!

Good stuff. I'll be picking this one up.

Anyone know who does the growling vocals on "Predator"?





They aren't the best death metal vocals that I've ever heard, but it's a nice touch to this song.

I will order this one today.

Johan hegg from Amon Amarth.

I have a copy ordered. Just waiting for it to arrive.

It's out today! Anyone have it?

My copy's in the mail.

It's consistent with their most recent releases. I'm not sure how I would rank it among them, but there is not a bad song on it.

It's another solid Saxon album. I am enjoying it immensely.

Needs more listen but really enjoying it so far.

Should take about 2 weeks to reach me. Can't wait. Also ordered the new Loudness and Accuser albums.

My first 2018 album:

It's good. I'm enjoying it.

Another fine slab of molten metal from the mighty Saxon!

Did you listen to that one? Awesome thrash

Gave thunderbolt a first listen today and it totally slays. The motorhead tribute is excellent.

After about 5 listens i'd say it's not up to the last few albums but still has some great stuff.

They also have a live 5CD set coming out called CD HOARD:

Discs 1-4 are The Eagle Has Landed parts 2-4, and the fifth CD is the audio disc of To Hell And Back Again DVD.

I own none of those, and the price ain't bad, so I have to consider picking this up.

^^Saxon is one band whose live performances often sound better than the studio recordings, IMO.

Here's the video for the new song, "Nosferatu, The Vampire's Waltz."

After listening to this album a couple of times, it doesn't grab me as much as Battering Ram, and much less than Sacrifice.

I don't know exactly why, because it sounds definitely like a Saxon album. It has all the trademarks. Just nothing special. Maybe I need more time with it, but the good thing is that even if this is not their best, I think the band still has more left in them. They've been on a roll, and I doubt this is their last.

New video:

Adding Johann Hegg will put some people off but I like it, adds a new dimension to their music.

I busted this album out again the other day and it's just great. I don't know how these guys managed to come up with so much killer music in the second half of their careers. It's astounding.

The album gets better and better after each listen. Saxon got heavier over the years
