Our Take
Our Take
Ah, SAXON. The mere mention of this legendary British band strikes fear into the hearts of lesser metal acts. With their latest album, "Battering Ram", SAXON continues to prove why they are one of the most enduring forces in heavy metal.
From the opening track, "Destroyer", it's clear that SAXON hasn't lost an ounce of their ferocity. The riffs are as heavy as ever, the solos are as face-melting as ever, and frontman Biff Byford's vocals are as powerful as ever. It's like being hit with, well, a battering ram.
But what sets "Battering Ram" apart from other metal albums is its unexpected moments of whimsy. Take "Queen of Hearts", for example, which sees SAXON embracing their inner romantic with lyrics like "She's the queen of my heart, the princess of my dreams". It's a refreshing change of pace from the usual tales of war and destruction.
And then there's "Hard and Fast", a blistering ode to living life on the edge. With its lightning-fast guitar work and thunderous drums, it's a reminder that SAXON can still out-speed and out-rock bands half their age.
In conclusion, "Battering Ram" is a triumphant return for SAXON. It's heavy, it's fun, and it's everything you could want from a metal album in 2021. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to the band, this album is sure to leave you headbanging and wanting more. Hail to the kings of British metal!
