SAXON: 'Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie' DVD Detailed

March 23, 2010

The long-awaited documentary on British rock legends SAXON, "Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie", will finally be released next month. The delay was caused by the filmmakers' (U.K.'s Coolhead Productions) desire to include newly discovered vintage footage and additional interviews.

Commented Coolhead: "There's no doubt in our minds that when you sit down to watch the film, and all of the amazing extras we've crammed in (over six hours worth of material, with even more stuff which we're planning to make available online to purchasers),you'll agree it's been worth the wait."

The final list of the DVD contents:

* Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie
* SAXON Live in Germany in 1981
* St George's Day concert 2008
* The Eagle & The Bomber – on tour with MOTÖRHEAD, '79 - '09
* On A Crusade – Archive interviews from recording "Crusader"
* No Excuses - Archive footage from the "Innocence Is No Excuse" recording sessions
* Building The Labyrinth – Recording "Into The Labyrinth"

Commented SAXON frontman Biff Byford: "We're being featured in next month's Classic Rock magazine. We're part of a feature on rock documentaries, and a specially edited 15-minute segment of the film is being included on a free DVD given away with the magazine. It tells the tale of SAXON's first tour with MOTÖRHEAD in 1979 and is very entertaining. It's slightly different to the version on the actual DVD because we were only allowed to use two music tracks on the Classic Rock segment (there's loads of music on the full DVD version)."

Produced by the makers of the critically acclaimed "Ian Gillan: Highway Star" (Universal, 2007),"Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie" celebrates SAXON's 30th anniversary. It not only has contributions from members of SAXON, past and present, but also from the likes of Lars Ulrich (METALLICA); Lemmy, "Fast" Eddie Clarke, Phil Campbell, Mikkey Dee (MOTÖRHEAD); Harvey Goldsmith, Danko Jones, Doro Pesch and many, many others.
