It's been a while that I wanted to do a post on the collections of the Saxon, Having already spoken of their latest work and wonderful "Into the Labyrinth" . The reasons for the post are different, and branch out from the fact that in 30-year career, unfortunately, did not have the global resonance of other groups also less good for them, and then talk about how they were always consistent with themselves and Their music has never turned a co mpromessi trade, and not least also as an argument to bring to the attention if it were needed for this extraordinary young band.
The first four albums, which I still have jealously vinyl were flashes in the sky really the rock of the '70s and '80s with their hard and heavy pounding, to remember who had made their debut, appropriately, at the level of AC / DC, Iron Maiden, and actually sold etter at the same rate of these groups "Saxon", "Wheels of steel" and "Denim and leather" touched large numbers, and the level was high for the period.
Then they switch to a period with a Rock AOR closer in recent years to return with album notes Vole level and style much closer to that of their early . Biff Byford's voice is still one of the features and charges of heavy metal, and their riffs are powerful and distinctive brand's unmistakable style is the English were the inspiration and has paved the way for numerous bands.
18 studio albums, six live and four collections are the product of the thirty-year career with ups and downs, but was significant for the imprint left in stroria of rock, and you can not
sure to have some key albums in the staff club of this band. In these two collections are very full, which I recommend you all the best songs of their career as "Wheels of steel", "Heavy Metal Thunder", "Strong arm of the law" "Dallas 1 PM". A collection "Heavy Metal Thunder" is single and contains 18 tracks, most recently instead, "The very best of 1979-1988" is even triple, and also contains excerpts from the live well 53.
