Product Description

Saxon is the debut studio album by English heavy metal band Saxon, released in 1979. - Saxon, over the decades have gone from being pioneers of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, to becoming one of the most successful UK rock acts of all time. The truth, though, is that Saxon have always transcended trends and eras. From 1979's 'Saxon' album to new album 'Thunderbolt', the band have enjoyed considerable success. Five Top 40 albums in the UK, with four Top 20 singles. And they were similarly successful in other parts of the world as well. It's no wonder their influence spread across the globe, and played a crucial role in the way we look at hard rock and heavy metal today. Saxon's self-titled debut album was originally released on 21st May 1979 and is arguably the first NWOBHM album to be committed to tape. It took the new sound of NWOBHM and paired it up with their early progressive and glam rock influences. It was the band in their infancy but ultimately put them on the map as one of the bands spearheading the heavy metal revival that was sweeping the nation at that the end of the seventies. This version includes their early demo when the band were called Son Of A Bitch, some early BBC session tracks and some live songs from the inaugural Monsters of Rock festival. Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the British Heavy Metal band's 1979 album. Includes bonus tracks, original lyrics, rare photos, and memorabilia.

投稿日：2009/12/23 (水)

1979年のデビュー作。翌年発表の「Wheels of Steel」以降が初期のSAXONのスタイルだが、哀愁感のあるデビュー作は、プロデューサーの意向ともされる。また、1979年はNWOBHM誕生前夜であり、少し早すぎるデビューだったのかも？SAXONは当時IRON MAIDENのライバル的存在だったが、実はSAXONの楽曲は新しい音のIRON MAIDENとは対照的に古典的な正統派ハードロックである。デビュー作はそのルーツが分かる作品とも言える。ジャケットの去ることながら音質もイマイチ。でも曲そのものは悪くないので、最近のバンドがカバーすれば息を吹き返しそうです。

個人的にはSaxonのアルバムで一番好きです。勢い良く始まったと思ったら転調し、哀愁たっぷりの曲へと展開していく１・２、軽快な３、さび前がメロディアスな６、ドラマティックな８が特にお気に入りです（前身バンドがRushの影響を受けていたというのも納得）。MCマンやP＆グローリーといったハードな曲は確かに格好良いですが、Saxonの本当の魅力はこのアルバムの様なメロディアスな部分にあったりするのではないかと思う次第です。
