Call To Arms Review by Mike Korn
On their last album Into the Labyrinth, Saxon tried their hand at a very multi-faceted set that showed they could play many styles of metal and hard rock.

Into the Labyrinth Review by Gary Hill
It’s been years since I’ve heard a new Saxon album. I have to admit there was a time when I had a turntable set up with a timer and had their Wheels of Steel album as my alarm clock.

Killing Ground Review by Mike Korn With their 20th (yes, 20th!) album, England's Saxon have surely proven their endurance and longevity. After some mighty lean years in the 90's, the veteran metal band is enjoying a resurgence of sorts and "Killing Ground" should do nothing to hurt their reputation.

Lionheart Review by Mike Korn The lineage of British heavy metal bands is a long and noble one, replete with legendary names like Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Black Sabbath and many more. Surely Saxon has distinguished itself well enough over the last 25 years or so to join this metallic Round Table.

Metalhead Review by Mike Korn I can attest personally to the fact that Saxon is one of the best live heavy metal bands on the planet, having just seen them demolish The Attic with UDO in tow. These dudes have been plying their trade for many years and never have they wavered from their desire to provide pure, unadulterated metal.

Power & The Glory Review by Greg Olma
I have been a longtime fan of Saxon and followed their rise since 1980. My first record was Wheels Of Steel, and I have never hated one of their releases.

Strong Arm of the Law Review by Greg Olma
Saxon was very prolific in the early days as this was their second release in 1980. They released Wheels of Steel four months prior to this record, and both are considered classics.

The Inner Sanctum Review by Mike Korn By now, there's not much to say about Saxon that hasn't already been said..."the venerable British metalheads remain as solid as a rock,” "the band should have been as big as Priest and Maiden,” "these English rockers prove old school metal isn't dead,” so on and so forth, etc. etc., etc. All of which is of course true.

Thunderbolt Review by Greg Olma
Saxon is more than just a band. At this point, they are an institution that started in 1979 with the birth of NWOBHM and has consistently toured and put out records ever since.

Saxon - Live in Houston, Texas, May 2024 Review by Greg Olma
I have been a fan of Saxon for over four decades now, and the best part of that is that they are not a nostalgia act.

Saxon - Live in Sugar Land, Texas April 2018 Review by Greg Olma
Saxon is no longer just a band but an institution promoting solid NWOBHM music. They have been at it since 1979 and by the looks of it, they are not looking to retire anytime soon.

Saxon - Live Waunakee, WI, November, 2000 Review by Mike Korn Where the hell is Waunakee, Wisconsin? That must have been what the members of Saxon were asking themselves when they saw this gig on their itinerary.
