Background information über 'Crusader'

Saxon's "Crusader" stands as one of the most pivotal albums in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, showcasing the band at their creative peak in 1984. This remastered edition brings new life to classic tracks like the epic title song "Crusader" and the anthemic "Sailing To America", while maintaining the raw power that made Saxon household names in the metal world. The album perfectly captures that quintessential 80s metal sound with Biff Byford's distinctive vocals soaring over crushing riffs and thunderous rhythms that defined an entire generation of metalheads.

The record demonstrates Saxon's ability to blend accessibility with heaviness, evident in tracks like "A Little Bit Of What You Fancy" and the driving force of "Bad Boys (Like To Rock N' Roll)". From the atmospheric "The Crusader Prelude" that opens the album to the urgent energy of "Run For Your Lives", this collection showcases a band firing on all cylinders. The production work by Kevin Beamish gives each track the space to breathe while maintaining that crucial punch that makes you want to throw your fist in the air and sing along.

For fans of: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Diamond Head, Angel Witch and Def Leppard
