Of course, there’s a reason that this sounds like Saxon. And its Biff Byford. Biff’s vocals are unmistakable, and he delivers a powerful performance. When he asks, “Can I put my hands on you?” in “…Healer” it sounds a bit filthy, but in the best possible way, like a sort of David Coverdale upper class to do, The lead guitar work from Saxon guitarist Paul Quinn is top-notch (and as this is his farewell from the group, he shows what we’ll miss), and when Biff hits the high notes, it’s truly impressive.

As leaders of the new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM), they had eight UK Top 40 albums during the 1980s including four UK Top 10 albums and two Top 5 albums. They had numerous hit singles on the UK Singles Chart and experienced success all over Europe and Japan, as well as in the United States. In 1978, the band began negotiating with the French disco-oriented record label Carrere Records, run by Freddy Cannon in the UK. Carrere refused the band name Son of a Bitch because it would be impossible to obtain radio airplay, so the band changed their name to Saxon in July, and signed a contract with Carrere in September. They began by supporting established bands such as Motörhead and Ian Gillan Band, and released their first album Saxon in 1979. [2] Success in the UK (1980–1982) [ edit ]

Saxontypical guitar riffs and Biff’s raw, smokey voice are making the opener ‘We’ve Got To Get Out Of This Place’ a successful song. ‘The Faith Healer’, competently implemented and adjusted to their own style this song is really inspiring. Highlights are ZZ Topand the already million times covered Man on the Silver Mountain.Even when Saxon covers a classic like “Substitute”, they manage to put their own stamp on it. It still sounds like Saxon, and that’s no small feat. When I went to see Uriah Heep last year, Biff was one of the people that wished them a happy 50 years. It makes sense that he would be a part of that celebration, and it makes sense that they should take Gypsy and sprinkle Saxon on it, As the NWOBHM movement began to fade, 1983's Power & the Glory, [2] their best-selling album to date, saw Saxon confirmed as one of the leading metal acts in Europe, along with Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. The "Power and Glory Tour" was an arena tour that began in Europe and was a huge success. The US leg of the tour, as special guest to Iron Maiden, along with Fastway, proved to be successful and Saxon found themselves becoming a major act in the US as the album, in its first week of release, sold more than 15,000 copies in Los Angeles alone. The cover art of the album was produced by Hollywood film director Ridley Scott.
