Saxon led the charge in what would become known as the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (a movement that inspired countless longhairs to go loud, fast, and heavy). With 2007's THE INNER SANCTUM, the Yorkshire natives prove that they are as vital as ever--even 30-plus years after their formation. Original members Biff Byford (vocals) and Paul Quinn (guitar) are joined on this set by one-time GTR drummer Nigel Glockler, guitarist Doug Scarratt, and bassist Nibbs Carter. This set is an outstanding new effort - a soon to be classic recording that kicks off with vintage heavy metal tracks, followed by some of their best classic hard rock'n'roll numbers, and continuing with several epic metal songs.
