Legendary British heavy metal quintet Saxon’s 21st studio album boasts a clinically ‘heavy’ echo of their glorious NWOBHM sound.  With previous album Sacrifice, they filled your heads with heavy metal thunder, and now the group want nothing more than to crush them with their new, hand-crafted, not-safe-for-children album, Battering Ram. The title track, with its delectable twin guitar assault heralding the album’s commencement, will give listeners an instant crack around the chops, while traditionalists will be delighted to hear a perfect marriage of old, classic Saxon with the newer, fresher invective on the likes of Destroyer and Stand Your Ground.“This one’s a natural progression from Sacrifice,” says Biff Byford, “There’s a bit less rock’n’roll and a bit more ‘heavy’ on it. We wanted to keep focused on a style rather than moving around too much.”  Produced by Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Testament, Exodus Accept) at his Backstage Recording Studios in rural Derbyshire, Saxon were able to hone in and whittle down any excess, finding the space and balance to let Battering Ram’s riffs and melodies scream front and centre.Vinyl LP.180g vinyl.Gatefold sleeve.Includes digital download.Also available on CD and box set.Tracklist:1.
