Saxon: Battering Ram A lemezen lévő változat bakelitlemez LP - standard kiadás. Ez a különleges kiadás - Németország a kiadó által UDR év 29. október 2015.

Everything and more "Battering Ram" - Saxon couldn't have found a more fitting title for their new album. The band's eleven tracks feel like a battering ram. Less rock'n'roll, but a lot more heavy metal - 36 years after their debut "Saxon", Saxon prove that they are still evolving and that they can sound even better. But Saxon fans needn't worry, because "Battering Ram" is still pure Saxon: NWOBHM sound as they did in 1979, as they always did on their last album "Sacrifice" from 2013. Only this time, the band decided to go even harder. According to Saxon, they just wanted to focus on one style and not experiment. Anyway, thanks to old friend Andy Sneap, nothing was lost. The producer, who has worked for Machine Head, Megadeth and Exodus, has been behind the director's desk several times at Saxon's Backstage studio in rural Derbyshire. As a first taste of the album, the quintet released the title track on October 16, 2015 - the perfect album opener, as it clearly shows what listeners can expect from "Battering Ram": uncompromising lyrics, "crushing" guitars and punchy drums - in short, unrivalled heavy metal. "Battering Ram" will be released on CD and LP. For true Saxon fans, there is also a limited deluxe box set available, which includes the electronic version of the album, a black gatefold LP, a bonus live CD "Saxon over Sweden 2011", an L size "Battering Ram" t-shirt and hand-numbered liner notes. On their new album, Saxon have managed to balance their typical 80s sound with modern heavy metal. "Battering Ram" offers Saxon fans everything they expect from the band - and more. Review. Saxons are plunging into the auditory canals like a battering ram - no signs of fatigue or age faltering yet, quite the opposite!" (Good Times, December 2015 / January 2016)
