180 gram vinyl.<br/><br/>Legendary British heavy metal quintet's 21st studio album boasts a clinically 'heavy' echo of their glorious NWOBHM sound, who never dealt in half-truths or incomplete missions. With previous album Sacrifice they filled your heads with heavy metal thunder, and now Saxon want nothing more than to crush them with their very own, hand-crafted, not-safe-for-children brand new album, Battering Ram. Not. A. Problem. <br/><br/>With Biff Byford singing as well as he ever has, Paul Quinn and Doug Scarratt making full use of the term 'shredding' with their guitars and the lock-steady rhythm of Nibbs Carter's bass and Nigel Glockler's drums, the future and the past crash together in an ear-scintillatingly engaging, raucous, melodic-yet-classically heavy ten songs collection which will instantly be hailed as a Saxon classic. The title track, with its delectable twin guitar assault heralding the album's commencement, gives the listener an instant crack around the chops, whilst traditionalists will be delighted to hear such a perfect marriage of old, classic Saxon with the newer, fresher invective in such riff-fronted fare as "Destroyer" and "Stand Your Ground", but there are still moments of space and exploration which fans will love. <br/><br/>"This one's a natural progression from Sacrifice," says Byford, "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."<br/><br/>Produced by Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Testament, Exodus Accept) at his Backstage Recording Studios in rural Derbyshire, Saxon were able to hone in and whittle down any excess, finding the sonic space and balance to let Battering Ram's riffs and melodies get the necessary space to scream front and centre.

Gatefold.<br/><br/>DeWolff bildades i Geleen långt nere i den Nederländska södern av tonåringarna Pablo (sång/gitarr) och brodern Luka van de Poel (trummor) samt hammondorganisten Robin Piso. Namnet fick de från Harvey Keitels karaktär Winston Wolfe i filmen Pulp Fiction. Deras coola, expressiva, neo-psykedeliska musik tog dem snart bort från hemstaden och ut i världen.<br/><br/>De har redan släppt fem studioalbum som samtliga hamnat på topplistan i hemlandet. Då de ännu var i tonåren spelade de på prestigefyllda Paradiso i Amsterdam och stora scenen på PinkPop-festivalen inför tiotusen fans.<br/><br/>Sedan följde ett frenetiskt turnerande där de utvecklats till ett enastående liveband. De har spelat inför trettiotusen människor på Lowland-festivalen, femtontusen på Sziget samt Reeperbahn, Rockpalast, Rock Oz Arenas samt agerat förband åt the Black Keys, Blues Pills, Ten Years After och Deep Purple.
