The Eagle Has Landed 40 Live VÖ: 2 The Eagle Has Landed 40 Live VÖ: 2. August 2019 Militia Guard/Silver Lining/ADA Saxon feiert vier unglaubliche Metal ‐Jahrzehnte mit ‘The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) 1979 war ein monumentales Jahr für den britischen Hard Rock mit der Geburt des New Wave Of British Heavy Metal und dem anschließenden Aufstieg zukünftiger Giganten des Genres. Nach 40 Jahren und 22 Studioalbum‐ Veröffentlichungen zählen Saxon zur Speerspitze und Vorreitern des British Heavy Metal und unterstreichen dies nicht nur mit einer Reihe Kult‐ Shows in legendären Spielstätten sondern mit der Veröffentlichung ‚The Eagle Has Landed 40 Live‘. Auf drei CD’s gibt Saxon einen Einblick über ausgewählte 40 ikonische Songs, die ihre Karriere gefestigt haben. Die Auswahl hat Frontmann und Gründer, Biff Byford selbst getroffen, einen Querschnitt der besten Live Performances, aufgenommen in einer Zeitspanne über 12 Jahre. Von “State of Grace” über “Machine Gun” hin zu “20,000 Ft”, The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) genießt man die Reise mit Saxon: Laut, stolz und nur das Beste mit der Vollblut Band, die sie zu den Vorreitern des Heavy Metal gemacht haben. Saxon lässt das Fanherz auf dieser siegreichen, ungestümen musikalischen Fahrt höher schlagen: Auftritte für die Menschenmassen in Wacken, die treuen Anhänger in Berlin, die mad dogs und Englishmen in England und natürlich Shows in internationalen Venues. Selbstredend ist das Tribute für ihre alten Freunde Motörhead dabei mit dem aufwühlenden „They Played Rock’n‘Roll“ und einem Cover von Ace Of Spades mit dem von uns gegangenen Fast Eddie Clarke. Um die „Motörsaxon“ Magie zu vervollständigen gibt es ein fulminantes „747 (Strangers in The Night)“ mit Phil Campbell, aufgenommen 2015 in Helsinki. Diese Veröffentlichung ist eine superbe, laute Odyssee durch die goldenen Jahre der Metal Geschichte. Biff Byford fragt: “Wo wart ihr in ’79 als die Dämme brachen? Egal ob in „denim and leather „‐ ihr könnt 2019 dabei sein mit The Eagle Has Landed 40 Live und dem Live Erlebnis. Verpasst es nicht!

  • Doningtonno Rock Festival in the UK Is Held in Such Affection by Fans and Bands Alike As Castle Donington Monsters of Rock
    FEATURE UNCOVERED DONINGTONNo rock festival in the UK is held in such affection by fans and bands alike as Castle Donington Monsters Of Rock. Not only did it define the ’80s metal scene, but it also created an environment where rock fans could be loud, proud, and more often than not incredibly muddy! John Nicholson brings you a heartfelt appreciation of why - A CELEBRATION Donington was so very special… “We parked up and walked over the hill and looked down into the bowl for the first time. There, spread out before us, were thousands and thousands of rock fans from all over the country. And the great thing was, they all looked just like us! It was such a great spirit.” Andy Copping, Live Nation executive president of UK touring WHEN PROMOTERS PAUL LOASBY and Maurice BACK IN the late ’70s there simply was no festival heavy rock was mutating into heavy metal, and when Loasby and Jones set a date for the inaugural Monsters Jones of Midland Concert Promotions (MCP) sat down dedicated to rock and metal in the UK. Yes, you could NWOBHM acts were pulling the music into a new decade of Rock – 16 August 1980. Tickets cost £7.50. Some together in a pub somewhere in the East Midlands in go to Knebworth to see the likes of Led Zeppelin.

Chapter 7 Elements of the Gothic in Heavy Metal: A Match Made in Hell Bryan A. Bardine Since the first heavy metal album, Black Sabbath ( 1970) by Black Sabbath, elements of the Gothic have pervaded the genre, whether in the lyri cs, the dress of both the bands and the fans, the album covers, the sound or th e cul ture itself. Bands du ring the period 1970- 83 (roughl y), including Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon and MotOrhead, to name a few, incorporated vari ous aspects of the Gothi c in to their lyri cs, dress, stage shows and alb ums, and in doing so helped to give heavy metal a stronger, more powerful image with fa ns and medi a alike. More im porta nt than the im age is the power and fee ling that the music generates with the audience, be they in a packed concert hall or headbanging with an iPod in their room.

  • Saxon ***Storming New ‘The Inner Sanctum’ Studio Album Unleashed March 5Th, Uk & Irish Tour Feb
    SAXON ***STORMING NEW ‘THE INNER SANCTUM’ STUDIO ALBUM UNLEASHED MARCH 5TH, UK & IRISH TOUR FEB. 28 – MARCH 9TH*** Biff Byford - Vocals Paul Quinn - Guitar Doug Scarratt - Guitar Nibbs Carter - Bass Nigel Glockler - Drums English hard rocking heavy metal legends Saxon release their excellent 18th studio album ‘The Inner Sanctum’ on SPV Records on March 5th and tour the UK and Ireland to coincide. ‘The Inner Sanctum’, a stunning, storming, monstrous beast of a hard rock album is, in the words of vocalist Biff Byford “the most powerful album we’ve ever recorded.” Biff explains how ‘The Inner Sanctum’ was written. “The past 12 months were undeniably the most successful year in our career to date, so we knew that it would be a good idea to start collecting ideas and write the songs early. All through the last summer, we used the weekdays between the festival weekends to concentrate on working on our album. We hired rehearsal rooms in Germany, Spain and England, where we ensconced ourselves for three days during the week, before travelling to the next festival. We’d never gone about things this way before, but as you can hear it worked.” Saxon, who are set to star in a one hour Channel 4 Documentary at the end of March - part of a six part series filmed with Harvey Goldsmith – set out on tour at the end of this month. Dates are:- 28th Feb. GLASGOW Garage (with Masterplan) 2nd March BELFAST Spring & Airbrake (with Masterplan) 3rd March DUBLIN The Village (with Masterplan) 4th March MANCHESTER Academy 2 (with Masterplan) 6th March WOLVERHAMPTON

  • The Thematical and Stylistic Evolution of Heavy Metal Lyrics and Imagery from the 70S to Present Day
    1 Jeroen Buts Master Engels The Thematical and Stylistic Evolution of Heavy Metal Lyrics and Imagery From the 70s to Present Day Master scriptie Faculteit Letteren en Wijsbegeerte Promotor: Prof. Dr. Gert Buelens 2 Prologue You cannot make me feel guilty/ I don't give a shit about respect I won't join your moral masturbation/ I'm the prodigal son gone off the tracks You cannot make me feel sorry/ I don't give a damn about your pride I'm the cat-piss on your carpet/ The last crushing thought before you die Don't fit in your picture Don't fit in your world Don't match all the lies you feed your kids Feel no loyalty/ This deal was made without me Sure I never signed it/ Your contracts don't apply to me I'll fuck your dog/ Do you still wanna get along with me? I'd rape your daughter/ On payment of a small fee I'll fuck your dog/ Do you still wanna get along with me? I'd rape your daughter/ How much would you pay? (“Dead Serious and Highly Professional”, The Ocean) If someone were to tell you, dear reader, that heavy metal is just a louder, faster and more formulaic version of that popular musical genre which defined the late 70s, called hard rock, that someone would probably be wrong. The above lyric contains several elements which indicate just how incomplete such a statement would be. Most importantly, it divides those who read it almost instantly: a metal fan, even if his taste is for a different subgenre of metal, will recognize a specific quality in this text.
