Destiny is the ninth studio album by British heavy metal band Saxon, released in 1988. The album represents the peak of the band’s late 1980s melodic phase, embracing a more polished and mainstream heavy metal sound influenced by the era’s arena rock and hard rock trends. Destiny features refined production, prominent melodies, and accessible songwriting, including the band’s well known cover of Christopher Cross’s “ Ride Like the Wind.”
Rock the Nations is the eighth studio album by British heavy metal band Saxon, released in 1986. The album continues the band’s mid 1980s shift toward a more melodic and commercially accessible heavy metal sound, while still preserving the power and identity that defined their N W O B H M roots.
Innocence Is No Excuse is the seventh studio album by British heavy metal band Saxon, released in 1985. The album reflects the band’s continued evolution during the mid 1980s, incorporating a more melodic and polished sound while retaining elements of their N W O B H M roots.
“ Dying for the World ( My Wicked Heart)” is one of the most emotionally charged tracks in W. A. S. P.’s discography, taken from the band’s 2002 studio album Dying for the World. Blending heavy metal power with introspective lyricism, the song stands as a testament to Blackie Lawless’s ability to channel personal conviction, social disillusionment, and raw emotion into a compelling musical statement.
