@smfleu You're absolutely right. I've been into them for a couple of years now... and i was expecting something epic for their first track since that's what they've been delivering in their latest albums... a mind-blowing first track.
@Sabbathman1979 Who are you to? I mean, you think you have the power to tell me what to like, or not? Well think twice monkeyface. You suck, Saxon are not that famous, nor that good. In my opinion they`re just like an early state Judas Priest. I have listened to metal my whole life, and never will listen to anything else. to conclude myself. I love metallica, maiden, A7x, hammerfall, you tell me I`m NOT ALLOWED TO LISTEN TO THEM CAUSE I DON`T LIKE THIS SONG? Young man, you suck!
@TheAvengedMind Hmm I couldn't read this without responding, with all due respect 'sabbathman' wasn't insulting anyone and you have proved how much of a dick that you are with a response like this, I mean come on isn't it time you grew up a little? He was obviously expressing his love for metal music and you just jump down his throat, yeah.. mature that isn't it eh? Funny you call him a little boy, the guy is older than you. Think before you talk shit.
@TheAvengedMind You got me wrong, I never meant anything against YOU personally, didn't even know you existed. You shouldn't call someone "monkeyface" without even seeing him first, a guy like you should know that...Plus, you haven't even seen a newer band like Pantera live, so please don't advertise A7X (or BFMV) to me, I'm too much a friend of the older school of metal anyway. Metallica or Maiden won't save you from being a complete ass on this site. Now go back to your nu-metal!!!
@Sabbathman1979 Srry, that was by brother who was so rude. I'm sorry! But, still, you can't tell people that they can't listen to meta(<3) because they don't like what you do?! That's fucked up man! And what the hell is wrong with new metal like Atreyu, A7x and? NOTHING! It's just what you want to listen to, no one can say anything about that! And to that dickhead above, you didn't read sabbathmans coment. He said if you don't like saxon, you can't isten to metal, that's just wrong.
@Sabbathman1979 This is the first time I ever had to argue to some that like metal, I thought we headbangers was united? What happened to that? Anyway, I'm sorry that my brother was so rude, but he's right that you can't say that you can't listen to metal if you don't like this. To be honest, he don't know anything about them, so again, sorry!
Listening to Hammerfall is pretty stupid actually.
Saxon aren't famous, but back in the early 80s they were better known than Metallica and were much more commercially successful than Maiden.
The other two bands are boring modern metal at it's worst, a pop/nu-metal band and a Power metal band which has been putting out utterly mediocre albums after their pretty decent debut.
And honestly, if you take a comment like that seriously you need to take a chill pill. Honest.
1. Early state Judas Priest is about the best judas priest you can get. 2. If you think a7X and hammerfall are better then this, seriously you need to get a brain check.
@TheAvengedMind 1- Being "famous" does not equal being "good". Look at Bring Me The Horizon, if you need an example.
2- If you think Saxon aren't good you need your ears unclogged.
3- Early state Judas Priest is probably one of, if not THE best Judas Priest era.
4- Love which bands you're using to justify your argument. Metallica and Maiden? Wow, you listen to the 2 MOST POPULAR METAL BANDS ON THE PLANET? YOU'RE SO AWESOME! and A7X can barely be considered metal. Hammerfall are good, though.
SAXON...Still one of the true masters of metal. What a great song, totally expected from these legends from Britain. They just keep coming up with riffs like this.
Anyone who dislikes this song: stay out of metal, it's obviously not for you at all !!!
In my opinion this is one of the greatest songs they've ever written! I saw them yesterday in Falmouth and it was a great opening track to the night :)
one person clearly prefers shit like lady fookin ga ga....sad person. Saxon rule...they were AMAZING live in Manchester last week...amazing gig. Cheers Biff and the rest of the guys \m/
Love It, reminds me of the crusader era with better production. Could of easily been a hit in the 80's..has that 80's feel. Saxon will always be at the top of their game, they are the leaders in writing heavy catchy riffs. And they always play old stuff live, people get what they want. New and Old.
This is going to be one hell of a spring, all the best grandpa's are releasing the new albums, SAXON, HAMMERFALL, U.D.O, PEGAZUS, URIAH HEEP. Fuck yeah!
This is why they are my fav band, they are true to themselves while others like Metallica ruined themselves because of embracing modern music. F*** that, don't ever change Saxon! \m/

to be honest i didnt like it at all and i'm a saxon fan for many years.
i mean first of all it's the cd opener and instead of an epic track like state of grace or batallions of steel it's this rocky song.
also the title of the track "war of the gods" implies something epic and rough. not a song for dancing. anyway that's my personal opinion.
i only liked the AWESOME riff at 2:54! this is HELL!
