Saxon Carpe Diem CD

2022 release from the seminal British Heavy Metal heroes hailing from Barnsley, UK. Ten titanic tracks bristling with steel-clad riffery and proud intent, Carpe Diem is the statement which reminds heavy metal fans worldwide who the true masters of British Metal are, drawing on a variety of ingredients from their career to forge what is Saxon's most dynamic release in many a year. It all starts with the riff, says frontman and co-founder Biff Byford, if the riff speaks to me, then we're on our way. It's a very intense album, and that's all down to the fact that the essence of a great metal song is the riff that starts it, and this album has loads of them.
