ça sort le 20/02 01 Dogs Of War 02 Burning Wheels 03 Don`t Worry 04 Big Twin Rolling (Coming Home) 05 Hold On 06 The Great White Buffalo 07 Demolition Alley 08 Walking Through Tokyo 09 Give It All Away 10 Yesterday`s Gone Bonus-Tracks: 11 The Great White Buffalo (live) 12 Denim & Leather (live) - originally released in 1995 - Bonus Tracks recorded in Germany on the "Dogs of War"-World Tour 1995 OVERVIEW: Saxon’s 1979 debut already hinted that a rough diamond was about to emerge. Their second recording, Wheels Of Steel, tuned into a mega seller, as Saxon went on to tour all over the world. The successor, Strong Arm Of The Law, and especially their double platinum release Denim And Leather (1981) reinforced Saxon’s reputation. Tours of America, an appearance at the Monsters Of Rock festival in Castle Donington, and the live album The Eagle Has Landed (1982) (according to Melody Maker “one of the best live recordings of the decade”) followed. Power And Glory (1983) was another classic that caused a stir, particularly in the States. Crusader (1984), oriented towards the US radio charts, was greeted by the odd critical voice that complained about Saxon’s supposed mainstream ambitions. Innocence Is No Excuse in particular met with mixed reactions. “Our Def Leppard album,” was Biff’s retrospective comment on this unusually melodic recording. Rock The Nation and Destiny also faced fair to middling reviews. “Record company and management tried to gear us towards the American market,” Biff explains the Saxon sound of those days. Following a two-year break, the band returned in 1990 with a new record contract and their impressive comeback, Solid Ball Of Rock. The two subsequent releases, Forever Free and Dogs Of War, and the ensuing tour kept the band on their toes, while Saxon succeeded in consolidating their impressive live reputation. Their 1996 live album, The Eagle Has Landed II, followed by Unleash The Beast and Metalhead, proved that the band were ready to face the new millennium, as they went on to release Killing Ground, their best-of release, Heavy Metal Thunder, their first DVD, The Saxon Chronicles and the latest studioalbum "Lionheart". Liner-Notes: “Dogs of war” was in our opinion our first move back to a heavier style after “Solid Ball Of Rock” and “Forever Free“. The album did have its problems, mostly with Graham Oliver, so much so that Rainer Haensel replaced his guitar parts in the studio. The album was co produced and enginered by Kalle Trapp, Rainer and myself and I think Kalle got a fantastic sound and in retrospect we should have done “Forever Free” with Kalle. I think we had some great times with that partnership, the last concert Graham Oliver did was Bremen Aladin on the 31st of December 1994 new years eve. The Dogs of war tour was the first tour of Douglas Scarratt, who was the replacement for Graham Oliver. It was also a return to using Paul Gregory on the album artwork, you may notice one of the four horseman of the apocalypse is an Indian Warrior, we did this as a surprise for Rainer because he bred paint horses. Paul is the artist who did the “Crusader” cover and many more after this. I think the album was a milestone in our career because it was a more fresher and heavier sounding album. I hope everybody likes the re-release and crank it up!"

La réédition en tant que telle n'a pas grand intérêt pour ceux qui possèdent l'album. Par contre ce disque de Saxon est plutôt réussi. Mes premières écoutes m'avaient déçu mais finalement il m'a séduit et il revient régulièremet sur la platine. Même si le disque dans son ensemble se "tient bien" on remarquera : "Dogs of war", "Great white buffalo" et le très US (et très suprenant... est-ce vraiment Biff sur le refrain ?) "Hold on". |

Mouais, inutile quoi, y'a pas de bonus track et je connais déjà le clip de Beyond the Grave (qu'a rien de "previously unreleased" vu qu'il est sur le dvd compil-de-clips "Monsters of Metal vol. 4") |
