One of the most anticipated albums for me in 2024 , i'de love to see Brian Tatler as a main stay in Saxon . Cheers Jason 👍
Hey there Rod! Yes, I wonder if that will indeed happen. 😯😊🤘
I talked on the phone w/ Biff for a couple of minutes when they were guests on a local radio show. That was around 1984 or so. Great to see these guys are still going strong!
Awesome! That must have been a great experience 🤘😊
The cover of Carpe Diem makes me think of Wishbone Ash's Argus a little--the sleeve of that classic record portrayed a medievalesque warrior sentry ⚔peering off into the distance. Albeit he was far larger and more the focal point than the Roman legionary figures in the Saxon artwork. I briefly met Biff and Doug when I saw Saxon with UFO and Jared James Nichols in 2017. Both were true gentlemen. Epic show, unforgettable memory and all around a very cool experience! 🤘🤘
That sounds like an awesome day - one to treasure!
Great album, Saxon always moving forward plus Brian Blessed who could ask for more 😂💯💯💯🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hehe, yes. A real Christmss gift! 😊🤘
That is a beautiful album cover, very Saxon-esque! Thanks for the insider listen to some new (great) metal!
You are so welcome! Yes, a very Saxony cover indeed. 😆😊👊🤘
I watched the Hell, Fire and Damnation video on a lark one day when it popped up on my RUclips feed. I was very impressed with it and decided to pre-order the album. Man,I'm glad I did. It was in my car stereo for 3 weeks straight. I couldn't get enough of it. Madame Guillotine is also my favorite song as well as the title track, Witches Of Salem, and Super Charger, but you're right. There's not a bad song on this album. I really hadn't listened to Saxon since the '80s but now I'm working through their back catalog. Carpe Diem is every bit as good as the new one, in my opinion. I also picked up Denim And Leather. You can definitely hear the evolution of this band. I'd have to say they've actually gotten better over the years and that's not usually the case. I plan to see them in May when they come to Cincinnati.
Hey there, really glad you're into the new album! And I overwhelmingly agree that the band have technically improved over time. Very impressive! 😊👊🤘
My first ever gig was Saxon/Tygers of Pan Tang, seen them through the years and still enjoy the albums. Agree with you on the cover and Andy Sneap's production 👍 Gotta love Saxon, it's great to see them continue to enjoy the success they deserve ... got my tkt for the Priest/Heep/Saxon show in Bournemouth 💪💪💪 Keep up the good work!!
Thank you! And what a lovely first ever gig to have. 😊🤘
Been with SAXON since 1983's Power & the Glory and I never left. Looking forward to this one and can't wait for my vinyl copy. Sounds great from just the one song. I love the 90's albums, too. I thought Dogs of War rocked!!!
Hey there Don! You know, I don't believe I ever laid ears on Dogs Of War. I must pick up one of these reissues! Thanks for swinging by. 😊🤘
@@PossessedByMetal666 You're welcome, brother! 1990's Solid Ball of Rock and the live album The Eagle Has Landed Part 2 (2x CD) from 1998 are great as well!
Looking forward to this one!
After hearing your thoughts on Carpe Diem [( music and artwork ) which mirror mine] I'm even more pumped for Hell, Fire and Damnation because of your positive review.
I love this. So glad to have further boosted your excitement for this one! There's Something In Roswell is coming out as a video imminently. Let me know what you think! 😊🤘
Awesome. Really loving the song titles. Excited for the new album even more.
Glad to hear it, Paul! 😊🤘
Saxon's Hell, Fire & Damnation sounds Great, especially with Brian's heavy guitar sound.. looking forward to this album.
Hope you love it! Certainly strikes me as an incredibly strong offering. 😊🤘
Thank you for the info! I´m really looking forward to the album, I guess I´ll buy the boxset edition. Even their livshows get better and better, I´ve seen them countless times over the last 35 years, mainly in Wacken where they play every other year, hahaha...
You're welcome! Yes, it's somehow been eight years since I saw Saxon play live, but they were great. 😊🤘
It's 6 AM and I just gave the new album a first listen here on RUclips. It hasn't really tickled my fancy....yet. The last 2 albums were certainly much better. But, that's just my first impression. I need to listen to it in my car to maybe appreciate a little more.
Hey there! For me, it's definitely a record with some songs that are immediate and others that take a few more listens to sink into your brain. But hopefully they will! 😊👊
i loved carpe diem but i like all there albums!!!!!
Metal
Most consistent band for decades is still rocking and have a lot to offer to the metal world
Absolutely! 😊🤘
Confession… I’ve never listened to Saxon, and I love Metal… until now!
Woo! And how do you feel about this song? 😊🤘
Yeah brother,Saxon rules,true metal forever,totally outlasted megadeath,metallica,biff byford is a metal legend!
The man is indestructible! ☺👊
Didn't know about them, I'll check them out!
Awesome. Great to help a fellow metalhead find a classic band. 😊🤘
Brian Tatler - wow what a great addition to the band ...
Talk about a great move, right? The change is pretty evident, I think. 😊👊
Great review can't wait to hear the album
Thank you Richard! 😊🤘
Very much looking forward to this album! Saxon are one my favourite bands (I discovered them when I was 18 and I'm 31 now) and they really haven't put a foot wrong from Solid Ball of Rock back in 1990 all the way up to Carpe Diem in 2022 in my opinion. It's remarkable how consistently Saxon have put out albums that range from good to excellent to awesome after all these years! Sounds like the new album will keep that trend going if this video is anything to go by so yeah, bring on the album! 🤘
Awesome! Yes indeed, Saxon have been very consistent - and I'm glad this video has only added to your anticipation for this record! 😊🤘 What's your favourite post-80s Saxon record?
@@PossessedByMetal666 Oh, man. It's tough one to answer because there's quite a few to pick from but if I had to pick one above them all, it has to be The Inner Sanctum. I listened to it a month or so ago for the first time in a while and it still sounds excellent! It might be a bold statement to make but I like it almost as much as Wheels of Steel, Denim and Leather & Strong Arm of the Law! It's almost a perfect listen from start to finish and the only song that let's it down is 'If I Was You'. That song feels so out of place compared to the rest of the album!
In fact I'd say my top 5 Post-80s Saxon albums are:
1) The Inner Sanctum
2) Metalhead
3) Thunderbolt
4) Lionheart
5) Unleash the Beast
Love it, thanks! I need to go back and revisit this period and so will compare notes with your list. 😊🤘
@@PossessedByMetal666 Okay I'm checking back in! I bought the album, I've listened to it and I like it very much! It's another very good slab of metal from Saxon! Upon first impression I like it more than Carpe Diem but I don't like it as much as Thunderbolt! For me Thunderbolt was a 9/10, Carpe Diem was 7.5/10 and Hell, Fire and Damnation is a solid 8/10! I've not really got much else to say, a bit Overkill and Motorhead, with Saxon you know what you're gonna get. They've got a formula and it works so if it ain't broke, why fix it? Best tracks on the album for me, 'Fire and Steel', '1066', 'There's Something in Roswell' and 'Kubla Khan and the Merchant of Venice'! 🤘
Big saxon fan, looking forward to getting this album. Think we might get one more song of the album maybe before album release.
Yes, and I wonder which one. I could imagine it being Madame Guillotine or There's Something In Roswell. This could, of course, be wishful thinking. But the great thing is, there will be no bad choice! 😊🤘 What's your own fave Saxon record?
Own fav saxon record mmm way to hard to answer they got that much great stuff. Might gt bk to you on this one
Please do! :)
Hi I bought ticket one year ago for Saxon and Priest in Italy...so Great Saxon's album, I love all the album and carpe diem too I Saw on tour two time in 2022 and 2023 very powerful and strong....so thanks again for this video...cheers!!!!
You're so welcome, Daniel. Hope you love the gig! 😊👊
I can't wait...Saxon and Priest....Best bands in the world...but in my opinion I think that from the Doug Scarrat and Nibbs Carter came into the band Saxon have a second life (unleash the beast on the top).A lot of time I think if in the '80 Saxon had this line up...waiting your comments....PS I saw Saxon 18 time....and the next...will be 19😀@@PossessedByMetal666...UH forgot that Brian Tatler is a monster of guitar....saw the first time with saxon in june 2023....
you need to check out a band called lovebites. they are an all female heavy metal band from japan. they put out there latest album in 2023 called JUDGEMENT DAY!!!!!! great review and i am going to see saxon on may 3 2024. have a great day!
Thank you for the kind words - and also for the recommendation! 😊🤘
The title track sounds like Hell, Andy Sneaps other band....i wish Hell were still going...but this is a great album
SAXON is the best heavy metal band in the metal Universe!!!!!
Hooray! 😊👊🤘
Very underrated also
Im glad you mentioned the Carpe Diem album cover...and to that...Im "fairly new" to Saxon (last 10 years or so) even though Im approaching 50!...But looking at all their album covers I cant help but notice how awful 90% of them are 😵💫
Hey there! Hehe, I don't know if I'd agree with the 90%. I do think that Carpe Diem was the weakest cover in quite some time. 😊🤘 Thanks for watching!
@@PossessedByMetal666 I like the Carpe Diem cover as I'm into the History of Roman Britain as this is clearly depicting Hadrian's Wall, and tbh there's only a handful of covers I'm not fond of...Can't wait to hear this new album in full, sounds stellar.
Good review and looking forward to the new album! A bit harsh though on the Carpe Diem album cover. Less is more. As a history buff I love it. You have me excited though for the upcoming release. 👍
Thank you! And yes, possibly a BIT harsh. 😊👊🤘
Is nice to have a great looking cover. But the most important thing is the music inside.
There’s something in Roswell is so f€&kin good 👊🤘
So glad you like it. Killer track! ☺👊
@@PossessedByMetal666 absolutely- I’ll be getting the new album 🤘
@@thelolguy007 Buying that really is a great way to start the year!
Thanks, you make great vids! :D
Thanks so much! 😊👊🤘
Hope its not the end for the mighty Diamond Head
Yes, that would be a shame! 👀🤘
In interviews Brian has said it isn't the end of Diamond Head
@747jono That's good. Will be great if there's still room for both bands in his schedule. 😊🤘
This album is there best since crusader.😊❤
Hooray, glad you like it that much, Robert! I'm a big fan. 😊🤘
1066 is a really amazing track.
It's funny - that one didn't bowl me over so much straight away, but lately it's really wormed its way into my head 😊😆👊🤘
I'm more of a pUnK but I dig Saxon. Loved the last album and also the two cover albums.. So yeah.. New video looks and sounds great! Greetings from New Jersey.. )^_-)/
Hey there! Great to hear from you, cheers..😊🤘👊
@@PossessedByMetal666 Same here my fellow MetalHead! Keep rOcKin'.. )^_-)/
best album is ,denim and leather'
Cheers Paul ! 🍻
While the cover sucked for Carpe Diem, the songs are pretty good. Shame they didn't get to tour that one in the US.
I've got to play HF&D more often. It seemed like Saxon by numbers. Album art is much better.
Why did they basically copy “Shovel Headed Kill Machine” album cover ?
You think so? 🤔 Guess they may both have been inspired by the same Gustav Doré painting!
