Album Notes & Community Reviews

Exploding out of the gate, Saxon's breakthrough sophomore release fundamentally laid the heavy, street-level blueprint for the entire NWOBHM movement. 'Wheels of Steel' is an incredibly boastful, fiercely energetic barrage of biker-gang anthems, characterized by Biff Byford's passionate wailing and remarkably rhythmic, rebellious twin-guitar riffs.
