Killing Ground

Saxon are dyed-in-the-wool musicians, legends of heavy metal. This British band kept holding up the Saxon banner even in times of a galloping metal recession and dwindling sales figures. Whenever frontman Biff Byford struts across the stage with flying hair, fringed leather jacket and a grumpy expression, his fans go into raptures. "You ******g people should go home," comments Biff frequently with feigned anger on the regular ´encore` demands voiced by his audience, while enjoying their enthusiasm with obvious delight. Byford and his four comrades-in-arms Paul Quinn, Doug Scarrat, Nibbs Carter and Fritz Randow may be certain of this enthusiasm once their highly impressive new album KILLING GROUND arrives, which is set not only to delight the band's faithful supporters but should also attract a new audience.
