One of the greatest heavy metal bands ever!!
Like somebody on www.metal-archives.com said they're amongst the top5 traditional metal bands...
Killing Ground is such a masterpiece!!

I love this band, no meter in NWOBHM or Heavy Metal ewra, thay are great,
I like all songs but my tope are "Denim & Letter" and "Dogs Of War"
Those songs rocks, also liongeart

Denim And Lether
We all are togeher
It was you
who send the spirit free

Yes, Denim and Leather is classic NWOBHM...
All their stuff is good. For those unfamiliar with them I suggest Killing Ground or the '96 best of: A Collection of Metal.. Or any live recording..

You shoud wisit them home page there are 4 songs in poor quality.
Thay had some good songs
Freeway Mad
Motorcivle Man
All Gun Blazing

But thay was popular in 80ties a lot of listening them but whan thay change style from NWBHM to Heavy metal thay wasnt so popular any more, but still writing good songs, best are Dogs Of War

I dunno where you can hear them by some CD

Get Eagle Has Landed
it's an early live of 'em in '82 after 4 great albums, Power and the Glory is also good, tre '83 studio album

Thanks, I'll check out 'The Eagle Has Landed' then. One question, do they sound as good on that live album than they do on their studio ones?? Only concern that i have with live albums is that some bands dont sound as nearly as good live than they do in the studio and some of the music or vocals can be drowned out by the volume of the audience.

I'll sample the album in the store before buuying, just want to get your views on it aswell.

Thay sounds better in studio, because you know how sounds all metal bands in concerts
So its your choose, some sounds great,, some not

Well im going in to see if my Slayer 'Hell Awaits' cd has come in, so i'll see if thats there aswell and report back, thanks guys

I can't believe more people haven't replied to this topic! Saxon are great, one of the first bands that got me into heavy metal. Songs like 'Denim And Leather' 'Crusader' and 'Princess Of The Night' are classics in the metal genre and are personal favourites of mine.

I missed the band live actually, last month because...I HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE PLAYING! Yeah, sad, huh? It's one of my biggest regrets.

Daru Jerichi, i really pity you...Saxon is great and indeed and "Denim and Leather" is one of the best heavy metal songs ever...they were programmed to cencert here last year, but for some obscure reason, the gig was cancelled

Aw, sorry to hear that. It must have been even worse if you'd bought your ticket to see them live.

Xtreme Jax: lots of people say they sound even better live than in studio, so no concern for that.. I like for instance their studio sound, too, but live they may even be a little tighter.. They're definitely a good live band...

okt31: Think i'll listen to 'The Eagle Has Landed' first in the store. Im interested now on hearing them with you saying that "lots of people say they sound even better live than in studio". I MUST LISTEN, in a couple more days though, Sunday and the store isnt open *snaps fingers*

I agree wholeheartedly. One of the greatest bands to come out of the whole NWOBHM scene. And the two songs you mentioned are two of my all-time favorites. Unfortunately, none of the great metal bands come here, so never saw them live. The scene here SUCKS!!

An awesome band they are and essential listening to any true metal head

@samael06 thay play NWOBHM in begining till 1985 or something, but in 90ties its pure heavy metal, listen songs for examole Strangers In The Night, and Denim and Letther(my gav) whata er NWOBHM and Dogs Of War, its pure hm

I must disagree. First off the Saxon sound has changed some over the years, but not enough to make a distinction. Secondly, NWOBHM is not a style of music but the name that was given to the second wave of English bands that took America by storm. NWOBHM stands for New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. But, either way, Saxon kills. Also, in my original post in this thread the two songs I was talking about were "Denim And Leather" and "Princess Of The Night" as being two of my all-time faves.

I know what stands NWOBHM and Saxon I eman earlys Saxon sounds how Iron Maiden whit Paul D' Annio and its NWOBHM, in old formum are tread about NWObHM and there are some links so Saxon in begining are nWOGBM, laiter it change sound to heavy metal, and in nowdays old Saxonm songs sounds like Heavy metal, because of attitde

The more recent Saxon sound is different from the older Saxon. I'll give you that, but what I don't understand is how you can say "laiter it change sound to heavy metal" when they were always Metal. I know this is getting off the subject of the thread, but the point I guess I'm trying to make is there is no such thing as a NWOBHM sound. Other NWOBHM bands are Raven, Diamond Head, Venom, Witchfinder General, Angelwitch and more. All these bands came out of this one scene (NWOBHM) but their sound are so dissimilar. For the sake of this thread, I know we are not going to agree on NWOBHM and what it is..So, let's just say Saxon is one of the better bands to come out of that scene and every metal fan should check them out. Agreed?

That's what i was saying. NWOBHM comprises different styles of music. As you've just proven with your previous post. It is not just one style. It was a SCENE.

There is a difference between scene and genre. But, that would be for another thread. Or it could just be a matter od semantics.
But it sounds like you're finally getting the message, that NWOBHM is not a sound.

I know but I say it sound because how explain in english what I mean, NWOBHM are genre, and genre are simmilar sound, and when I hear genre it sounds

They totally need to come to Canada...I wanna see them live so bad because I heard they're awesome live...I found one of their albums in my house...Crusader...I haven't listened to it yet though...

I give you an example of scene and genre.
Hypocrisy are from Sweden but their early style is completely Floridian death metal (they belong to the Swedish scene but to the Floridian DM subgenre).
Back to Saxon - any release of theirs is worth getting I guess (I have the maoriotz but not all of them)

But the truth is between the two of you.. The NWOBHM sound was very typical back in the day (1980-81)
That's another point of debate that most of the bands which later became big names developed their own style..
