British heavy metal legends SAXON are pleased to announce that their new album, Unplugged and Strung Up, debuted at #52 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, as well as #89 on the Top Rock chart! If that wasn\u2019t enough, the band also has a new music video available for viewing now. The music video showcases the beautiful new rendition of \u2018Frozen Rainbow\u2019. Take a look here: http:\/\/youtu.be\/4CJwkDjtzKM <\/p>\n

Earlier last month, UDR Music revealed a brand new Unplugged and Strung Up album teaser, which also includes snippets of interviews with vocalist Biff Byford. Check out the video via UDR Music\u2019s YouTube page here: http:\/\/youtu.be\/551z5RxDn40<\/p>\n

With Unplugged and Strung Up, SAXON introduces a carefully selected collection of unique, fresh and adventurous interpretations of material previously heard only with raw heavy metal thunder, the point is triumphantly underscored.<\/p>\n

As mentioned above, 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 \u2018The Eagle Has Landed\u2019 and \u2018Crusader\u2019 by introducing orchestral dynamics to offer added dimension. \u2018Frozen Rainbow\u2019 from the band’s 1979 debut, gets a stunning acoustic reprisal which transports it into a power ballad to be proud of, whilst \u2018Red Star Falling\u2019 soars and sweeps the emotions with its orchestrally-arranged dovetail.<\/p>\n
