"Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait" (Movie by Douglas Gordon & Philippe Parreno, 2006)

SAXON : "Rock The Nations" (Album 1986)

The bass player leaves (or is sacked from ?) the band - and Byford takes over the bass while singing, for this recording. I do think this ads to a flatter and overall less optimal sound. On the other…

SAXON : "Innocense Is No Excuse" (Album 1985)

Saxon desperately tries to rub shoulders with the overproduced hair metal of the day ... and honestly, the quality of this album is a slight improvement over the last one, which is a real stinker. Bu…

SAXON : "Crusader" (Album 1984)

SAXON : "Power & The Glory" (Album 1983)

This fifth studio album makes a new era for Saxon. It seems that the change of drummer and the sign of the times of US style hair metal had its influence on their style. Maybe a desire to break the U…

SAXON : "Denim And Leather" (Album 1981)

The fourth album within about 2 years and they are still riding the wave. An impressive level of quality in such a short timespan ... basically 4 classic metal albums in a row. The proto-power metal…

Saxon is on a ride releasing their third album just 6 months after the second one. This time spending some more time in the studio achieving higher level of production than previously. They continue…

SAXON : "Wheels Of Steel" (Album 1980)

SAXON - Self titled (Album 1979)

Saxon is one of those strangely popular, yet rather overlooked metal bands. They have been going for more than 40 years and have a strong fan base the world over. Yet they do not get the respect they…

The true purpose of masks !!

It all seems to come together in a cohesive "story" that spells "the economic takedown of the western fiat monetary system" (that has to go down soon anyway). Then helping people showing sign of comp…
