Biography

When the term “New Wave of British Heavy Metal” (NWOBHM) was coined in the late 70s, Saxon was firmly planted in the thick of it. Though the line-up has changed considerably over the 30 year career of the band, Biff Byford, founding member and frontman, has largely ensured that Saxon remained true to the formula which won them a place in the hearts of British rockers.

The band secured a record deal… Read more in Amazon's Saxon Store

4.0 out of 5 stars At least they found their way again!!, November 11, 2002
Band line-ip here:
Biff - vocals
Graham OLiver - guitar (his last album with Saxon)
Paul Quinn - guitar
Nibbs Carter - bass
Nigel Glockler - drums

After trying to change their sound a lot for the American market, and obtaining a nule result, SAXON at last decided to go back to form: straigh heavy metal, but THEIR kind of heavy metal> British, original, muscular, strong.

DOGS OF WAR is a pleasant surprise. It's well crafted, well produced (by Bii and Ransel Hainer). It only has one sadreminiscence of their utterly commercial period back in the middle eighties, the commercial pop metal song "Hold on". But, due to the sheer quality of the alum, this mistep is easily forgotten!

Long Live SAXON!

4.0 out of 5 stars It has some punch!, November 19, 2002
1995's DOGS OF WAR is their best album since 1983's POWER AND THE GLORY. It runs close with 1984's CRUSADER. The only album that got closer to it is their recent release, KILLING GROUND. Both 1997's UNLEASH THE BEAST and 1999's METALHEAD are inferior to DOGS OF WAR.

Biff has the help of drummer GLockler in writing the lyrics (Glockler is no longer in the band, since after UNLEASH THE BEAST- Fritz Randow is ints place). Also, this is the last alum featuring founding member guitarrist Graham Oliver. It's such a shame that Oliver, ex-bassits Steve Dawson and drummer Pete Gill would come to fight bitterly against Biff and Paul Quinn for the right of using the name SAXON!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent metal release from SAXON, May 6, 2001
By Ron Mansfield "cozy304" (East Stroudsburg, PA United States) - See all my reviews
"Dogs of War" is a pleasant return to straight ahead metal from this pionering NWOBHM act.A very heavy SAXON outing with solid song writing,fine production and blazing axework by veterans Paul Quinn and since departed Graham Oliver make this release SAXON's best release of the 90's. Vocalist Biff Byford, with his unique voice and lyrics, further cements his reputation as one of the greatest metal frontmen of all time. Veteran drummer Nigel Glockler shows he is still a great player while bassist Nibbs Carter's energetic style adds a lot to the material and this lineup. With new classics like "The Great White Buffalo", "Dogs of War" and "Hold On" SAXON has found there way back musically to no nonsense true metal.Every track straight out rocks on "Dogs Of War" without any throw away tunes in sight.This album will no doubt please old SAXON fans and hopefully add some new ones as well.Essential cd for all SAXON fans as well as fans of classic NWOBHM style metal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent comeback from several poor albums
Dogs of War could be said to be the album that saved their fans from leaving them for good, after so many albums were released so close together with such poor performance. Read more
