Saxon Announce Deluxe Reissue


. (Classic Rock) Saxon will re-release their compilation album Heavy Metal Thunder next month along with a bonus CD featuring their 2014 performance at Bloodstock.

The 2CD set Heavy Metal Thunder Bloodstock Edition is released on February 13 via UDR. The record, first released in 2002, features re-recorded versions of Saxon classics from the 1980s.

On the same day, the 2DVD The Saxon Chronicles set is being reissued with a bonus CD called Rock 'n' Roll Gypsies 1989 Live. Originally released in 2003, The Saxon Chronicles features the band's 2001 Wacken performance along with original song videos, interviews and documentaries.

On the Heavy Metal Thunder re-issue, Guitarist Doug Scarratt says: "When we decided to re-record these songs it was really a great thing for me. I had been playing them live but I didn't think there would ever be a chance to record them.

"We re-recorded all the songs while we were making the Metalhead album. It was great re-recording Heavy Metal Thunder. I had played it many times but it's nice having updated versions." Read more including the track details here.
