Saxon are British through and through. Not only are they among the
founders of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal that kick-started a new
musical genre in the early Eighties, they've also upheld the theme of
their native country in their lyrics as well as in their music for some 25
years. Pretty much the same can be said of every aspect of their new,
haunting album, Lionheart. From their impressive songwriting with its
powerful sounds and ambitioned lyrics about witch hunters, King Richard
Lionheart and the attitude of British soldiers towards war, to their
striking cover artwork, Saxon unequivocally stand by their origins. At the
same time, the band surrounding vocalist Biff Byford display an energy
that's almost physically perceptible. Byford rightly explains:
"Lionheart is the most powerful album we've ever recorded.
