NWOBHM pioneers Saxon are giving fans an advance online listen to five tracks from their forthcoming album "Battering Ram", ahead of its official North American release on October 30th.

"Battering Ram," the band's 21st studio album, was produced by Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Testament, Exodus, Accept) at his Backstage Recording Studios in rural Derbyshire, England.

Frontman Biff Byford had the following to say, "This one's a natural progression from Sacrifice. There's a bit less rock'n'roll and a bit more 'heavy' on it. We wanted to keep focused on a style rather than moving around too much."

Byford adds the following about working with Sneap on the album, "Yes, Andy has been in charge of everything with this album, I keep on overview of it all, but he's done a great job and we're both pleased with the results. We have a great partnership."

The band has teamed with Yahoo Music to offer fans a five track streaming sampler of the album which includes the tracks "The Devil's Footprint", "Queen of Hearts", "Destroyer", "Eye of the Storm", and "Stand Your Ground". Check out the songs here.
