A fierce late‑era statement from New Wave of British Heavy Metal pioneers Saxon, Metalhead finds the band doubling down on towering riffs, gritty determination and the unmistakable power of Biff Byford’s voice. Originally released in 1999, the album stands as one of the strongest entries in Saxon’s modern catalogue, balancing classic heavy‑metal hallmarks with a darker, harder edge. This limited gold‑vinyl edition, pressed on 180‑gram audiophile vinyl, delivers a weighty, full‑range cut housed in a 3mm sleeve and complete with an insert featuring full lyrics. Limited to 1000 individually numbered copies, it’s a premium collector’s pressing for long‑time followers and NWOBHM devotees.
