Distributor: Caroline Distribution Notes: Re-release of glam, heavy metal album from Saxon. The eponymous 1979 release was the band's original debut and the reissue is from U.K. Saxon's self-titled debut album already hints at their future songwriting potential, but the dismal production makes a mess of early live favorites like "Still Fit to Boogie" and "Judgement Day," which sound muffled and uninspired. Only "Stallions of the Highway" (the first of many biker anthems) shows any promise of things to come. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
Along with Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Saxon was one of the key bands in the early-1980s scene known as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Using the hard-rock template laid out by Deep Purple and Black Sabbath but playing a faster, louder, and more theatrically bombastic version of it, Saxon's sound would influence a plethora of metal bands--from Megadeth and Bathory to Metallica and the Darkness--for decades to come.
