Inspirations

A raw, high-voltage tribute to the 60s and 70s legends that forged the Saxon sound. Recorded in a grand hall with vintage amps and zero polish.

It's Saxon playing the songs that made them metalheads in a big old house.

A high-energy, celebratory trip through the foundations of heavy rock with a gritty, live-in-the-room feel.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition into the double-time gallop during the bridge of Paint It Black.

Biff Byford hitting the high-frequency wail on the opening of Speed King.

The dry, punchy drum fill that kicks off the cover of Motörhead's Bomber.
