Gods of Thunder
Saxon
Op hun aankomende 25e studioalbum leveren de Britse heavy metal-legendes tien krachtige en onmiskenbaar Saxon-achtige nummers, die een breed scala aan historisch beladen thema's omvatten – van de mythologie van de oudheid tot de brute werkelijkheid van de koninklijke geschiedenis.
"Gods of Thunder" is geproduceerd door de legendarische oprichter en frontman van de band, Biff Byford, en gemixt door Andy Sneap. Het album vangt Saxon in topvorm en combineert snoeiharde prestaties met levendige en minutieus uitgewerkte verhalen. Elk nummer is opgebouwd rond de zwaarte, dynamiek en gedetailleerde arrangementen die de muziek van Saxon al lange tijd kenmerken, terwijl het album als geheel gefocust en direct overkomt. Neem bijvoorbeeld "Medusa", dat wordt voortgestuwd door een strakke, hypnotische riff in een onverbiddelijk tempo, terwijl het titelnummer "Gods of Thunder" een krachtige, hymne-achtige reis is naar de Keltische mythologie.
Byfords jarenlange passie voor geschiedenis staat centraal op het album, en met zijn karakteristieke vertelstijl brengt hij personen en gebeurtenissen uit het verleden tot leven. Op "The Bloody Tower (The Ballad of Anne Boleyn)" vertelt hij het verhaal van de politiek beladen executie van Anne Boleyn, terwijl "Remember the Alamo" voortraast met de hoge snelheid en energie die NWOBHM kenmerkte aan het begin van de jaren 80.
Het dubbele gitaaroffensief van Doug Scarratt en Brian Tatler komt bijzonder duidelijk naar voren op "Temple of Rock", stevig ondersteund door de ritmesectie met Nigel Glocker en Tim ‘Nibbs’ Carter. Het album wordt afgesloten met "MI5", een tijdloze headbanger die thema's over de Berlijnse Muur en de Koude Oorlog-spionage verenigt.
"Gods of Thunder" is een gerichte en krachtige manifestatie van een van de meest geharde bands van Britse heavy metal, en Saxon klinkt even vitaal en compromisloos als altijd.
