New Saxon is so full of energy and power. This stuff is a lesson of metal for boring and obsolete Iron Maiden.

Don't get why ppl say this should be touring band, mid 80's , early 90's band was poppy, now its some heavy, I personally think its good album. I like Devil Footstep, based on 17th century extra terrestrial legend (ppl say devils footsteps on the snow. We all know how primitive ppl thought and they were religious, actually it was alien ) , nice song, I like last one to, like Biff told to love or hate, I love it. Good album, band has heaviness after Dogs of war... it wont be like early 80's but still its good , IMO better as new IM

This was a nice suprise, after a couple of "so-so" albums they finally released a album which holds up from beginning to end. Top of The World and Kingdom Of The Cross are easily among my favourite Saxon tunes. Their best album since The Inner Sactum.

Make no mistake, descent is slow, death awaits you far below
Check the rope is good and strong, take your time, don't get it wrong
To reach the peak is what you yearn, but many go and don't return
Your body screams from the lack of rest, but no one hears on Everest

One of the best albums Saxon has released. Between this, Denim and Leather, and The Inner Sanctum, I don't know which Saxon album is my favorite.
