SAXON (UK) - Unleash The Beast (used CD copy) (1997) Released by  CMC International Records in a standard jewel case w/black tray.
The band's 13th full-length studio album has 53 minutes of the best SAXON can offer their fans: it has great lyrical work, and the guitars sound heavy, modern and very melodic. The record even has an acoustic song, Absent Friends, something that is not very common on SAXON's records. 
Unleash The Beast sounds slower than classical SAXON sound, but that's the whole point of the album: it distances itself from what the band was doing in the 80's and gives new life into the group. The album brought the band to the Metal spotlight once again.
The lyrics have a great diversity of topics: the content includes the traditional speed/riding thematic that follow the band's career, with a mix of mysticism and fantasy themes, near-death experience, politics, religion, war, and other topics. It shows the band has learned from their various changes within the years, finally combining a broad variety of subjects with a new and solid Heavy Metal sound.
Unleash The Beast is SAXON's best effort from the 90's and it deserves the credit of bringing back to the game a great band that was starting to get behind the shadows. And they got out of the dark like a raging beast, just like the one on the cover.  --  CMC International Records – 0607686221-2
