Album Review

Legendary SAXON are back with their 20th studio album titled ‘Sacrifice’. For one more time SAXON are proving that they are one of the best Heavy Metal bands. The album gets stuck in your mind from the first time you listen it. If you are seeking for new elements and progressive sounds for sure SAXON is not your band, here we have pure old school Heavy Metal. ‘Sacrifice’ has great guitars powerful drums and Biff's voice on top form! If we compare Sacrifice with their previous album ‘Call to Arms’ we'll see that ‘Sacrifice’ is heavier and more aggressive. Best tracks on the album in my opinion are ‘Made in Belfast’, ‘Guardians of The Tomb’, ‘Night of the Wolf’, ‘Stand Up and Fight’ and ‘Sacrifice’ but this doesn't mean that the other songs are not good. The production made by Andy Sneap and is very good and highlights the great compositions of the album. The only minus of the album is the bonus disc which contains 5 older SAXON tracks some of them in unplugged and some in different versions than we knew them but I think these are worse than the original and they have nothing to give to the fans. If you are a metal head for sure ‘Sacrifice’ is an album for you! Don't miss it.
