Saxon Celebrate Four Dominant Metal Decades With The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live).

On August 2, 2019, British heavy metal legends Saxon released their live 40th anniversary celebration The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) through Silver Lining Music. The album marks an incredible milestone for the band, celebrating four decades of dominance in the metal scene.

Featuring 40 of the band’s most iconic tracks spanning their entire career, the selection was personally curated by frontman and founder Biff Byford. He chose the best live performances from an array of international shows over the last twelve years. From “State of Grace” to “Machine Gun” to “20,000 Ft,” The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) captures Saxon at their loudest, proudest, and definitive best, delivering a full-blooded journey through the songs that have established them as vanguards of heavy metal music.

The release includes a 12” lid-off box set containing five 12” 180-gram vinyl records, a tour pass and slipmat, an exclusive 40-page book, and a 23-piece plectrum set featuring album artwork from all 22 of Saxon’s studio albums. It also features a limited-edition The Eagle Has Landed 40 (Live) plectrum and a replica of Biff Byford’s original handwritten lyric sheet for the song “747 (Strangers in the Night),” with each print being hand-numbered and autographed by him.
