Decade Of The Eagle is a retrospective that spans the band\u2019s first nine albums and represents the very best of the first decade of their astonishing career during which time they notched up five Top 40 albums and four Top 20 singles. These 4LP and 2CD deluxe editions feature new liner notes by frontman Biff Byford that document the decade and which are accompanied by rarely seen and classic photos from the era.<\/p>\n
Biff says:<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are the albums from a time in the eighties that moved a generation of rock fans around the world, when British rock was once again at the forefront. Great times \u2013 never to be forgotten and still reverberating to this day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saxon played a significant part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, perhaps the greatest metal genre of them all and have become one of the all-time masters of heavy metal. In doing so, Saxon have ensured they are now representative of the heart and soul from the NWOBHM time. Always remaining true to the values which established them in the first place they are driven by a desire to continuously set the highest standards and meet them head on, Saxon\u2019s work on those nine studio albums still resonates resoundingly \u2013 this is timeless stuff.<\/p>\n
Saxon\u2019s music that will continue to inspire Metalheads for generations to come, as it has influenced so many until now. In those immortal words, fill your heads with\u2026 HEAVY METAL THUNDER!<\/p>\n
