Saxon

Saxon is a legendary British heavy metal band that helped define the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) movement in the late 1970s and 1980s. Formed in 1977 in Barnsley, England, they quickly gained recognition with classic albums like *Wheels of Steel*, *Strong Arm of the Law*, and *Denim and Leather*, which became anthems for a generation of metal fans. Known for their powerful riffs, soaring vocals, and relentless touring, Saxon has remained a major force in the metal scene for decades.

Led by frontman Biff Byford, the band continues to release new music and perform worldwide, proving their staying power with albums like *Carpe Diem* and *Hell, Fire and Damnation*. Their influence can be heard in countless metal bands that followed, and their commitment to true heavy metal remains unshaken. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering their music, Saxon's legacy as one of metal's greats is undeniable.
