Bought this album the week it came out back in 2001. Absolute masterpiece of an album and it still blasts me to bits every time I spin it nearly 24 years later. It hasn't aged at all, still fresh and full of metallic greatness as it was when a then 19 year old me took it home from the record store.
I went on to see them live opening for Judas Priest that year and I met Biff and Doug (and they both were super nice) who signed my copy of Killing Ground. Doug actually asked me what I thought of the album and what my favourite song was. Total ''We're Not Worthy'' moment.

God I love Saxon. The quality of their music is so consistently good.

the British people must be very proud to have a band like the saxon in their country.

Follow the piper follow the drum
Follow the footsteps our comrades begun
Till the battle's won, the battle's won
Follow the Sabre, follow the gun
For King and for Country
We stand here as one
Till the battle's done, the battle's done

We are brothers in arms
We fight for the cause
Together we stand, divided we fall
On the killing ground, killing ground

Cannons are roaring
From left and to right
Into the carnage before us we fight
Till the day is won, the day is won
Thousands have fallen, around us they lie
Onwards together, we fight or we die
Till the day is done, the day is done

We are brothers in arms
We march for the cause
Together we stand, divided we fall
On the killing ground, killing ground

Charge into battle victory we cry
Onto the lances our sabres held high
Hear our battle cry, battle cry
The field is now silent
The conflict is done
Marching to glory through rivers of blood
Hear our battle cry, battle cry

We are brothers in arms
We die for the cause
Together we stand, divided we fall
On the killing ground, killing ground

I remember back in the day when this album was released, this song was so powerful (still it is). Michael Romeo - Divide and Conquer has a very similar chorus! Amazing album.

Saxon, too powerfully to be consume by the masses.They defy the purpose of notoriousm by inevitable rend an extraordinary material with fighting regularity...without no doubt one of the best hevy metal band of all times, amaizing.
