Saxon is ready to kick off 2015 with the re-release of two classic collections, each covering significant career highlights as well as offering something new in their 2015 versions.
On February 13, 2015, Saxon greatest hits release Heavy Metal Thunder will make its market re-entry together with a brand new bonus CD, Live At Bloodstock. First released in 2002, Heavy Metal Thunder features 13 bona fide Saxon classics from the halcyon days of the early ’80s, with eight of the cuts having been re-recorded again in 2001 to offer a fresh perspective.
Pre-order Heavy Metal Thunder on CD and vinyl.
At the same time, fans will also be able to buy The Saxon Chronicles, a double-disc DVD which now includes a bonus CD titled Rock’n’Roll Gypsies 1989 Live. Originally released in 2003, The Saxon Chronicles is a double DVD set that features not only the band’s 2001 Wacken performance, but also original song videos, interviews, and exclusive on-tour documentaries.
