If you like the older or newer Saxon material this album is more than worth listening to and buying. Only song is a little weak lyrically, but the tunes are all out classic Saxon riffs. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. But with the release of Call To Arms, it sounded like Saxon were going back to more of a rock feel (I for one have liked their foray into heavier material) and their songwriting was getting a bit weaker. "Stand Up and Fight" and "Walking the Steel" show off Paul Quinn and Doug Scarratt's axe expertise. Saxon back to thier best great album.Went to see them at wolverhamton for the sacrifice album tour they never fail to dissapoint took the roof of with two hours of pure untamed heavy metal how these guys never hit the big time ill never know they are as good as any … View credits, reviews, tracks and shop for the 2013 CD release of Sacrifice on Discogs.
They opened the show with Sacrifice and they were fantastic. Peter "Biff" Byford still has a great voice and can move like someone half his age. Although they have gone through some line-up changes over the years, original members Biff Byford and Paul Quinn have kept the band on the right path from the beginning and this album is no exception.

After the fairly disappointing last album " Call To Arms " (relatively speaking ,as all Saxon albums are better than most others) these likeable rock veterans are back on track .I put this on with a slight feeling of trepadation & on the initial 1st play only "Made in Belfast " & "Night of the Wolf " grabbed my attention.However , the more i played it the more i started liking the other songs to the point where it has been in my car for weeks & i now like the whole album . The remaining 450 were the STD edition which came without the buckle but otherwise identical. Guardians of the Tomb and Night of the Wolf also continue in the great Saxon Heavy Metal tradition. Sacrifice is the twentieth studio album by British heavy metal band Saxon.It was released on 1 March 2013 in Europe, 4 March in the United Kingdom and 26 March in the United States.
Biff Byford's voice just seems to get stronger with age which cannot be said of most vocalists which is truly impressive considering the man is 62 and the amount of touring the band do. The DELUXE version contained an exclusive Saxon Sacrifice belt buckle and was limited to only 50 world wide.

Not an absolute classic album, but certainly up there with some of their best. Sold by Amazon.com Services LLC.
This is a real corking album of proper metal songs from Saxon. I left them alone for a while in the 90,s but got back into them with the brilliant unleash the beast album.
The cd is loaded with some of the best Saxon songs and the recording is A+. The 2000s have been a bit of a mixed bag in my opinion, with certainly more good than bad.
Wheels of Terror is again a fine Saxon song that doesn't slow down until it ends. From the groups inception in 1976, Saxon have been releasing record after record of roughly the same music, yet somehow the music itself remains relevant in today’s ever growing hard rock/metal communities. I have been listening to Saxon for about 10 years now, after seeing them live at Bloodstock 2003 and being completely blown away by their performance and their excellent songwriting.

From Wheels of Steels to Denim and Leather to Sacrifice and Live in Manchester, the Saxon sound is just as powerful as it has always been. SACRIFICE SACRIFICE is Saxon, 20th Studio Album (1st March 2013), “heavy metal with the fat cut out: a lean, mean machine of an album with absolutely no weak spots and no erroneous things that needed to be cut out.

The only thing I would add to this masterpiece is the advice to see the band live when they are next in a town near you. Regardless, after a million albums, a slightly underwhelming Saxon platter isn’t that big a deal and they’re entitled to the occasional minor flub.
