Saxon: Carpe Diem album review

So far, Saxon’s industrious career in metal has essentially unfolded in three stages. In the first of these they released eight albums of note, between 1979 and 1986. The first five in particular were awash with enduring gems such as Wheels Of Steel, Princess Of The Night, 20,000 Feet and Strong Arm Of The Law. Then came the ninth, 1988’s Destiny, a soft-boiled misstep that sounded very much like the band’s last-ditch attempt to sell enough records to appease their label EMI, shortly before they were dropped. We’ve been in Stage Three ever since, with Biff Byford and co. presumably abandoning any dreams they might have of Beverly Hills mansions, and instead revelling in the brute force of traditional heavy metal, plus the major consolation prize of everlasting respect over riches. Brilliantly, their approach during two decades when all around them was grunge and alt.rock was to keep calm and carry on, unapologetically firing off snub-nosed salvos like Unleash The Beast (1997), Metalhead (1999) and Killing Ground (2001). Their routine has changed little since, and clearly not even a global pandemic could stop this new studio record.

Saxon release epic single The Pilgrimage

Saxon have released a video for new single The Pilgrimage. It's taken from the band's 24th studio Carpe Diem, which is out now, and we're saying the verses sound a bit like AC/DC's Hell's Bells. “Pilgrimage is a fantastic word,” exclaims frontman Biff Byford, “People go on pilgrimages all the time, not just in a historical or religious sense, but it’s about going and visiting either a place that you feel is special in your life or somebody that’s meant something in your life. "You can go on a pilgrimage to go see your great grandfather who died in the First World War for instance. They’re journeys of great weight and importance."The release comes at the end of a week in which Saxon played two 40th Anniversary shows, at Manchester's O2 Apollo and London's Hammersmith Eventim Apollo, supported by fellow members of British rock royalty Uriah Heep, Girlschool and Diamond Head.

Saxon's Carpe Diem: NWOBHM heroes show no signs of stopping

If the last couple of years have achieved anything, it’s to have reintroduced many of us to the joy of simple pleasures. As ever, that’s where Saxon come in. A reassuring and reliable presence in heavy music for over four decades, Biff Byford’s tireless crew would be an easy band to take for granted, were it not for their eerie ability to keep making great records like this, their 22nd studio album – or 23rd, if you include last year’s enjoyable, shambolic covers set, Inspirations.Not every recent Saxon album has scaled the heights of revered early classics like Wheels Of Steel and Denim And Leather, but Carpe Diem is plainly a keeper from the opening seconds of its thunderous title track. Admittedly, one might question the efficacy of seizing the day when people are still spit-spraying malevolent microbes at each other, but it’s a sentiment that suits Saxon perfectly, and it’s a typically bolshy slab of hard-driving melodic metal, replete with a gloriously punchy Biff vocal.Thereafter, this is simply a textbook Saxon album: great songs, giant choruses, gritty musicianship and absolutely no fucking about. There are fast, furious, swashbuckling anthems like Age Of Steam (not a direct sequel to Princess Of The Night, perhaps, but close enough), Dambusters and Super Nova; there are grandiose, prog-tinged mini-epics like Lady In Gray and The Pilgrimage; Black Is The Night is as gnarly and evil-sounding as anything Saxon have ever recorded and then there is the closing Living On The Limit, an unusually snotty, sub-three-minute speed metal knees-up that sounds custom-designed to cause havoc at live shows.Naysayers will continue to say nay, but Saxon have survived for more than 40 years because they are, as Carpe Diem proves again, really fucking good at this shit.Carpe Diem is out February 4 via Silver Lining Music
