Bio

As a founding leader of the NWOBHM, Saxon helped define the sound of classic heavy metal.

Four decades and countless hits later, they remain at the top. In the 1980s, Saxon grew into one of Europe’s most successful metal acts, maintaining this by tirelessly upholding the tradition they helped create. Their breakthrough came with 1980’s 'Wheels Of Steel'. Successors like 'Strong Arm of the Law' and 'Denim and Leather' featured multiple top 20 hits, followed by the best-selling 'Power the Glory', pushing them to new heights. After some lineup changes and a quiet period, Biff Byford and co bounced back hard in the late ‘90s with 'Unleash the Beast' and 'Metalhead'. Into the 21st century, they kept making great albums, with 'Carpe Diem' (2022) among their strongest efforts. A new album is in the works, expected in 2026.
