SAXON – Carpe Diem (2022) HQ

Iconic British classic metal legends SAXON are about to release their 23rd studio album ”Carpe Diem”. After put out a cool cover album with ‘Inspiration’ in 2021, “Carpe Diem” is again full of powerful Saxon sound, confirming they still are – and always was – one of the ‘true classic metal’ acts keeping the flame alive.
This should be among their most consistent album in the last 25 years, and pack everything you want in a traditional, old-school metal LP. One of the U.K.’s longest active crew of headbangers proving themselves to be as vital now as they were over four decades ago…

SAXON – Inspirations (2021)

British Metal legends SAXON will deliver a full-roar-fun-down set of covers on March 19th, 2021 with their latest album ”Inspirations”, which drops a brand new 11 track release featuring some of the superb classic rock songs that influenced Biff Byford & the band.
From the crunching take on The Rolling Stones’ ‘Paint It Black’ and the super-charged melodic romp of The Beatles’ ‘Paperback Writer’ to their freeway mad take on Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Stone Free’, Saxon show their love and appreciation with a series of faithful, raw and ready tributes.
Recorded at Brockfield Hall near York, UK, with a firm eye on the old school way using Marshall cabs, Marshall amps and real drums, Saxon approach the likes of Motörhead’s ‘Bomber’ (with added whistle!), AC/DC’s ‘Problem Child’, Black Sabbath’s ‘Evil Woman’ and a raucous Deep Purple’s ‘Speed King’ with refreshingly warm, unfiltered, “vintage” sounding renditions.
For even more proof of the validity behind that statement, wrap your ears around their sparkling take on Toto’s ‘Hold The Line’ (!) and consider Saxon’s ”Inspirations” a mission accomplished…
