Rock The Nations Music Review

Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars) 3 stars

3 stars Saxon still deliver the goods
Yes,I know the '80's were admittedly not the best of times for metal stalwarts Saxon.After spearheading the NWOBHM,Saxon found themselves in the precarious position of becoming REO Speedwagon with (gasp)commercial success.Albums like Power and the Glory and crusader were great for the follow ups to Wheels...and Denim..,but by Innocense...Saxon needed to regain ground.Rock The Nations was still considered commercial by some respects,but was a strong attempt to vilify the band.Tracks like We Came Here To Rock,Waiting For The Night and the title track were strong and this reviewer still holds Saxon in high esteem.

Saxon Metalhead CD (1999)

Rock The Nations album

$10.59

Despite all naysayers, and whatever the price, new wave of British heavy metal pioneers Saxon continue to persist year after year, label after label, lineup after lineup, through think and thin. They've continued to stubbornly wave the flag of British heavy metal, overcoming bad management decisions, misguided artistic directions, and widespread neglect on American soil to forge a respectable comeback in the mid-'90s. Indeed, the return to form initiated with 1992's Forever Free is delivered in full-force by 1999's Metalhead. Led by the instantly recognizable voice of frontman Biff Byford, the newly revamped quintet (featuring new German drummer Fritz Randow) rips into action with the bombastic title track, then rolls into ...

Saxon Power & The Glory CD (1983) Remastered

POWER & THE GLORY is a 1983 album by the British heavy metal band Saxon. After their first significant hiatus, the members of Saxon (including new drummer Nigel Glockler) returned to the studio to work on Power & the Glory, an album which sounds like it was recorded in a tin can, albeit a very large one. The title track shows some promise, but it's all downhill ...

Saxon Wheels Of Steel CD (1980) (Import) Germany

Rock The Nations music CDs

$9.69

The new wave of British heavy metal that dawned along with the 1980s yielded heavier and more popular bands than Saxon (Iron Maiden and Def Leppard, to name just two), but anyone who listens to their second album, WHEELS OF STEEL, will recognize the origins of what came to be the dominant style of FM radio metal for over a decade. Combining the muscle of Black Sabbath with the nimble, twisting two-guitar attack of Thin Lizzy, Saxon helped create the template for British "power metal." Its driving rhythms and wailing theatrical vocals ...

Saxon Crusader CD (1984) Germany

Rock The Nations songs

$9.99

Heavy Metal rockers from the U.K., Saxon, present CRUSADER, featuring 10 tracks on this German import release. It's hard to pinpoint the reasons for Saxon's gradual fall from stardom, but by the time they released 1984's Crusader, the band had obviously stopped leading the New Wave of British Heavy Metal with its aggressive biker anthems, and fallen in line behind Iron Maiden's epic historical themes and more complex song structures. It did them no good. Crusader was actually a slight improvement from the songwriting perspective, but reveals a band which obviously takes itself too seriously. ...

Saxon Strong Arm Of The Law CD (1980) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; United Kingdom; +5 Bonus Tracks

Rock The Nations CD music

$9.89

STRONG ARM OF THE LAW has always been a favorite among Saxon fans. With its driving Deep Purple-ish aggression and Thin Lizzy swagger, the band wades through each track with rocking fury. Originally released in 1980, not only did STRONG ARM OF THE LAW serve as an influence for budding European metal bands, but its gritty confidence and fist-thrusting anthems can be heard in many L.A.-based metal bands throughout the '80s. A mere six months after releasing their stunning sophomore album, Wheels of Steel, Saxon managed to top themselves with Strong Arm of the Law. All the ingredients fell into place with this record, and though it lacked the obvious hits of its predecessor, its greater consistency from start to finish marks it as the band's definitive work for most fans and critics. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to find any New Wave of British Heavy Metal Top Ten that doesn't include both these albums. Opening in bombastic fashion with the embryonic thrashing of "Heavy Metal Thunder," side one races by at breakneck speed with "To Hell and Back Again" and "Taking Your Chances," and only slackens the pace somewhat for the ever-popular title track, based on the bandmembers' true-life experience of being pulled over during their first American tour. The band had spent much of the precious year touring in support of Motörhead and it ...

With their third release (and second album of 1971), SALISBURY, Uriah Heep issued their first real ambitious work. While their first couple of albums (URIAH HEEP and LOOK AT YOURSELF) were cut from the same monolithic blues-metal cloth as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, it was with SALISBURY that David Byron and co. let their admiration of progressive rock seep in--most notably on the album closing, over 16-minute title track, which featured a 26-piece orchestra. Elsewhere on the album, the songs are shorter and more conventional, such as the acoustic ballad "Lady in Black" and the jazzy ...
