SAXON, the heroes of the heavy metal world, have completed their 24th new album and are finally making a full-fledged comeback. The best live album that conveys the latest stage is now available. What is included in this work is “BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR performance on August 15, 2021.” This is a superb audience recording performed on the final day of one of Britain's leading metal festivals. SAXON's cover album ``INSPIRATIONS'' is still fresh in our memory, but they have also completed an original new work, and although the title has not been announced, the release date has been announced. First, let's take a look at the recent situation regarding the resumption of such activities. 2021《“INSPIRATIONS” released on March 19》・August 15: Appearance on BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR ←★Coco★・November 13: Appearance on METAL HAMMER PARADISE・December 3 + 4: Appearance on RUHRPOTT METAL MEETING 2022・January 28th: Glasgow performance 《February 24th: New release scheduled》This is the schedule for 2021/2022 that has been announced so far. They were supposed to celebrate their 40th anniversary in a big way in 2019, but that was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. We have connected through Biff Byford's solo work ``SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS'' and cover album ``INSPIRATIONS.'' Then, in 2021, it finally signaled a comeback. Currently, only sporadic festival appearances have been announced, rather than tours, but the “BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR” appearance is the first of these. This work recorded at such a show is the best recording with "super". If you have a sharp taste, I think you've already hit it off, but this work was recorded by the same recording artist who recorded the JUDAS PRIEST edition "BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2021 (Shades 1391)" released at the same time, and has maximized the flavor of outdoor recording. Super thick sound that takes full advantage of the limit. It seems that the recording was made from a microphone pointing towards a PA tower far away from the stage (I guess), and while the sound was captured closely at zero distance, the excitement at the scene was far away. Perhaps due to the wind at the scene, when I listen to it with headphones, I can feel a slight fluctuation in the tone, but the sound is so exquisite that I almost think it's a direct-connected sound board to a mix desk!? The super direct and powerful sound depicts a selection of masterpieces that are different from the official work "THE EAGLE HAS LANDED 40 LIVE" while concentrating the glory of 40 years. Let's compare and organize them here. 80's Classics (10 songs)・STRONG ARM OF THE LAW: Strong Arm Of The Law (★)・WHEELS OF STEEL: Motorcycle Man (★)／Wheels Of Steel (★)／747 (Strangers in the Night)・DENIM AND LEATHER: Denim And Leather/Never Surrender (★)/And The Bands Played On (★)/Princess Of The Night・POWER & THE GLORY: The Eagle Has Landed/Power And The Glory From the 90s (5 songs)・SOLID BALL OF ROCK: Solid Ball of Rock (★)・DOGS OF WAR: Dogs of War (★)・BATTERING RAM: Battering Ram・THUNDERBOLT: They Played Rock and Roll／Thunderbolt *Note: The “★” mark indicates the official work “THE EAGLE” A song that cannot be heard on “HAS LANDED 40 LIVE”. ...and it looks like this. Masamichi's Greatest Hits doesn't surprise you with ultra-rare songs like JUDAS PRIEST, but firmly holds the representative songs of yesteryear. Perhaps because "THE EAGLE HAS LANDED 40 LIVE" was a special set with a twist, only about half of the songs overlap, which is surprisingly small, and the other half are representative songs from the 80's and 90's. This is a live album that is worth listening to on its own, and it is also delicious as a supplement to "40 LIVE". Although they did not perform a new song that attracted attention, SAXON showed off their kingly style with their dignified staging. This is a new masterpiece that allows you to experience the latest stage with super superb sound. A delicious sister work to the much talked about JUDAS PRIEST edition. The best audience recording of “August 15, 2021 BLOODSTOCK performance”. Made by the same recording artist collection as the simultaneously released JUDAS PRIEST edition "Shades 1391", this is a super thick sound that takes full advantage of the flavor of outdoor recording. It seems that the recording was made from a microphone aimed at a PA tower far from the stage, and while the sound was captured at zero distance/in close contact, the excitement at the scene was far away. The sound is so superb that you'll almost think it's a "directly connected sound board to a mix desk!?" Half of the set is not even the official work "THE EAGLE HAS LANDED 40 LIVE", and there are plenty of famous songs from yesteryear. This is a new masterpiece that allows you to fully experience the latest stage of the hero SAXON who showed off his style as a champion.
