Unplugged And Strung Up

Description

There is always feral beauty in a raging beastand with Unplugged and Strung Up, Saxons selection of unique, fresh and adventurous interpretations of material previously heard only with raw heavy metal thunder, the point is triumphantly underscored.

Unplugged and Strung Up reveals layers and pieces previously dormant in many of the 14 classic Saxon songs chosen for this makeover, thanks to some ear-catching new arrangements and mixes. Recorded, mixed and mastered with Andy Sneap in Derbyshire, UK earlier this year, Biff and co re-evaluated, re-worked and re-energized the towering likes of The Eagle Has Landed and Crusader by introducing orchestral dynamics to offer added dimension. Frozen Rainbow from the bands 1979 debut, gets a stunning acoustic reprisal which transports it into a power ballad to be proud of, whilst Red Star Falling soars and sweeps the emotions with its orchestrally-arranged dovetail.

As if this reinvention wasnt enough, Saxon superfans and collectors can purchase a digipack version of the release which will include 2002s storming set of full-volume, pedal-to-the-metal re-recorded hits Heavy Metal Thunder. Featuring staple Saxon stormers such as Motorcycle Man, Strong Arm of the Law and Dallas 1pm it is a quintessential part of any collection.
