Description

Born in Barnsley, England, Saxon was a heavy metal legend. They are famous for their role in the late 1970s and 1980s New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) following their 1976 formation. Band fans consider *Denim and Leather* a classic and a commentary on the metal subculture of that year. Raging guitars and huge choruses define heavy metal on the album.

The early galloping rhythms and lyrical solos of Saxon’s sound are evident in Denim and Leather. The band’s worldview and metal fan culture are reflected in songs like “Princess of the Night” and “The Power and the Glory”. “Denim and Leather,” the title track, honours heavy metal performers and their camaraderie. The album captures heavy metal and its societal context, appealing to listeners on multiple levels.

The *Denim and Leather* album inspired many fan-favorite Saxon items, proving the band’s influence on commerce. Metal fans rapidly adopted the album’s artwork, and T-shirts with it became a sign of fan togetherness. Fans that shared the band’s principles might relate to these tees. Hats, posters, and pins with the band’s lion logo and vibrant artwork were available for Saxon fans to show their support for the band and heavy metal.

With its critical acclaim, *Denim and Leather* joins the ranks of great heavy metal albums like Judas Priest’s *British Steel* and Iron Maiden’s *self-titled*.
