The silver eagle has finally landed for audiences worldwide!
SAXON are true heavy metal heroes. Their story is a classic rock’n’roll saga: five friends from the backstreets of Yorkshire setting out to take on the world. The resulting chart glory, mixed with band infighting and full-on rock excess, ensures their dramatic tale will become part of heavy metal history.
This feature-length documentary film tells the full warts-and-all story of 30 years of heartache, earache, success and excess. Produced by critically acclaimed documentary filmmakers Coolhead, it not only has contributions from Saxon, past and present, but also from the likes of Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Lemmy and ‘Fast’ Eddie Clarke (Motörhead), Harvey Goldsmith, Airbourne, Amon Amarth, Doro Pesch and many, many others.
It also features freshly-uncovered archive material, including the band performing in 1979 on Motörhead’s Bomber tour, recording sessions and interviews from
the Crusader and Innocence is No Excuse albums, a classic concert from 1981, along with stunning headline performances at Wacken in 2009 and the now legendary inaugural St George’s Day show in London.
Turn down the lights, turn up the volume, and enjoy some Heavy Metal Thunder!
After enjoying a limited “Fan Club Only” UK release, Heavy Metal Thunder – The Movie, Saxon’s wonderfully unfiltered and intimate account of their ascent to the upper echelons of heavy metal, will finally enjoy an international release this December.
Rivetingly honest, and including the frank memories of every musician who has played in the band, Heavy Metal Thunder – The Movie pieces together the earliest incarnations of Saxon, from frontman Biff Byford’s teenage years in the coalmines of Yorkshire and Son Of A Bitch (the first incarnation of Saxon) all the way through to top 10 hits and world tours. Nothing is forsaken and nothing skipped.
Heavy Metal Thunder – The Movie will entertain, engage and charm fans and non-fans alike.
That’s a truth as honest as the film itself…
