The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (Or, NWOBHM for short) is a term coined following possibly the largest and most iconic spike in the popularity of metal in the UK’s illustrious heavy history…us Brit’s invented metal after all, with the likes of BLACK SABBATH and DEEP PURPLE pretty much kick-starting an entire genre, influencing bands to this very day…but that first wave of bands that followed in the 70’s…those first to truly carry the torch and make metal a legitimate thing…they deserve so much credit too. Everyone can agree that, the most successful band to emerge were IRON MAIDEN…arguably the biggest band in the world, their story is already legendary, but what about the others? Many, many came…many disappeared but some? Some still soldier on with an army of loyal, old-school fans…the veterans, ever reliable but, never quite hitting the big time…and one such band is SAXON. Formed in 1976 and hailing from Yorkshire…Saxon (lead by iconic front-man Biff Byford) have had one hell of a career, with numerous albums hitting the UK Top 40 and still touring to this day, there’s no sign of them retreating anytime soon, and to celebrate their longevity, they bring you this; “The Solid Book Of Rock”…
