Wednesday, March 6: Saxon, "State of Grace" [ENCORE]

The Today’s Metal Tune tumblr posted its first song March 5, 2014. Amazingly, 10 YEARS LATER we are still here and going strong. A huge THANK YOU to everyone that has followed, liked, reblogged and commented over the past 10 years, this tumblr has been a passion project that took on a life of its own and far exceeded humble expectations, and that is all because so many have listened and gotten in on the fun. To celebrate the past decade, we are revisiting some favorites from the early years. Stay Metal everyone, there’s much more still to come…

The Inner Sanctum marked the return of longtime drummer Nigel Glockler after a 10-year absence, which was noteworthy since Glockler’s playing frequently elevated even Saxon’s sketchiest material. But more than that- or maybe because of that- the album contained a hunger and forcefulness that reasserted Saxon’s vitality, and featured one of the best winner-to-filler ratios in the band’s entire discography. And nowhere was this show of strength more apparent than in the opening “State of Grace”, which was Saxon at its ass-kicking best. Not coincidentally, it was Glockler’s thunderous double-kick drumming that powered the show, propelling the song with more intensity than most younger metal bands could pull off. And even though the chanting monks at the beginning and middle were clichéd (and 15 years too late), “State of Grace” was one of the best opening tracks Saxon ever recorded. The riffing was tasteful, forceful and atmospheric in the right places, and Biff Byford delivered his admittedly silly lyrics with perfect conviction. If anyone needed convincing that Saxon could still be a relevant force in metal, one listen to “State of Grace” eliminated any doubt.
