Saxon - Bring their eagle show to Belgium!

June 29th 2013
Graspop Festival, Belgium

***1/2

Saxon play a classic eagle show set!


Saxon ***1/2 in Europe are far bigger than they are in their native land of England, with the Europeans really taking to their style of Metal. The band have done really well with their great new album 'Sacrifice' which has seen them back at their best musically, vocally and stepping up their game by a long way. Opening with the same track that starts the 'Sacrifice' album off 'Procession' they instantly showcase what they can do now, and it all looks amazing and sounds great. Title track 'Sacrifice' makes sure you know what the new album is called and can't be ignored.

Saxon are already legends and they are on the right track to be up their with the Iron Maiden's and Metallica's of this World and in a few years they should be starting to get their just desserts. It will be raking in the rewards time for Saxon soon if they keep going on like they are now. I think with tracks such as 'Power and the Glory, Stand up and Fight' and '747 (Strangers in the Night)' they should be their already because these are songs that will come down in history and in Europe are already respected. Biff and the boys are also not scared of a little rain like Twisted Sister who played on the same bill they still go on and Rock the festival like nobodies business.

Ending the set with a very strong collection of songs, showing they have a good back catelogue 'Strong arm of the Law, Wheels of Steel' and 'Crusader' the last two being played from every car speaker on the way to the festival. If you like your Classic Rock make sure you listen to Saxon because they are legendary and a must for any Metal fan.
