Dawson has claimed that the character of Derek Smalls from the spoof-metal band Spinal Tap was strongly influenced by him, particularly his prominent facial hair and his penchant for playing to the gallery by fingering his bass with his left hand while throwing a mano cornuto with his right.

 Rough Edge: Saxon CD Reviews
While it may not be surprising that a band as popular as Saxon has done it yet once again, it is amazing that they have maintained a consistency throughout the years that keeps delivering what their fans want to hear: pure, unadulterated, heavy metal.
"Lionheart" may not be Saxon's best album but it's a very good one and, at this point in the game, you can't help but admire a band whose music isn't morphing or deteriorating with the sands of time.
However, even with all the advanced technology now at the band's fingertips, sometimes "Heavy Metal Thunder" isn't as crystal clear as it should be.

Saxon was definitely one of the top bands in my opinion and with the exception of an album or two in the 90's, I think they have been rock solid.
I thought at that time that this band had the ability to be something special.
These guys would've definitely been a powerhouse in the scene of the late 80's that gave us bands like the Rock City Angels, Black Crowes, etc. They still have the potential, but it's all in the way the band is handled.

The band was formed in Barnsley in 1977 by vocalist Biff Byford, guitarists Graham Oliver and Paul Quinn, bassist Steve Dawson, and drummer Pete Gill.
He was replaced by Paul Johnson and Saxon limped through the rest of the decade recording weak pop-metal albums in a desperate, but futile, attempt to connect with American fans while slowly corroding their European fan base.
The band even managed to land a new U.S. record deal with CMC International for the latter two discs, which also led to their first American tour in almost a decade.

Right away I noticed that "Lionheart" is a lot heavier and faster than the few things I've heard from Saxon in the past.
Vocalist Biff Byford is still in the band and he does a great job mixing up the various aspects of his vocal talents on this album.
