From Saxon's 2009 release "Into the Labyrinth" the video for "Battalions of Steel".

Nigel is my favourite metal drummer ,pure class perfect fills and timing.

[@zerowski]

Powerhouse.....fantastic drummer Nigel!

[@Jeff-p6i]

Nigel is super always

[@igormaxwel6093]

Nunca havia escutado este álbum de 2008 do Saxon #IntoTheLabyrinth , mas depois da primeira audição me encantei de imediato. Só por esta faixa de abertura o disco já entrou para o meu top dos 12 indispensáveis trabalhos de estúdio da banda inglesa (não contando com as coletâneas e os discos ao vivo). Discaço! 👍

[@Kixxtar]

One of the greatest metal songs ever written ⭐

[@jeremyseaton4898]

Indisputably. Absolutely amazing. Elevates their legacy even beyond what it already was.

[@dwaynehicks8598]

What a lot of people do not suspect about Saxon is that their recent songs are often as much valuables as the great classics of the eighties. This is one of them amongst fantastic songs like Guardians of the Tomb.

[@billythomas5616]

Yup

[@bmjv77]

How the hell am I just discovering this masterpiece? Long live the mighty Saxon!

[@phantomlord4667]

One of the best metal bands on the planet. In more simpler words this is the soul of metal music!

[@stefanbloch3363]

Zuerst erschuf got die welt,danach biff und saxon.🤟👍

[@robertparfitt4205]

What a fantastic production for a fantastic song by mighty Saxon. Been a fan since seeing you in Bristol in the early 80's.

[@martinbramwell8228]

Watched and listen to live. One of my favourite tracks .how do they always bring classics out with ease

[@jaimesorli2436]

when the camera looks at nigel i want to die!!!!!!, the best, the man who make me to have the passion and love for the drums, one of my heroes, love the song, the band, great, incredible video, nigel and saxon foreverrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marinhrabric6162]

also one of my drum heroes and one of mthe reasons i want to be a drummer

[@GRILLBUOY101]

finally a smart person..live your comment on Nigel. .i agree hes great live to watch

[@brianmay1983]

one of best metal songs of 21st century!

[@GRILLBUOY101]

[@janguchelaar5836]

Agree man.

[@GRILLBUOY101]

yes if u were lucky enough to see them play it live.u winessed some greatness

[@martinmullen71]

In recent years I haven’t listened to much of what Saxon has done. I have to say they’re brilliant and if I may say so, they’re far better now than they were many many years ago.

[@RobertWeingher]

One of the best and greatest metal bands in history of metal, the more you hear them and the more you see them and i saw them live a few times, the more you love them, cheers!!!

[@HammerHeart3229]

This track always reminds me of when the Rohirrim charge into battle at Pelennor Fields in The Return of the King... And I get goosebumps thinking about that everytime, man!

[@TheVargen1971]

Now 2024 and I can’t get into my head it’s already fifteen years since this marvellous tune was released by the mighty Saxon. Bloody hell this is great!

[@HammerHeart3229]

This album came out in 2009/2010? This was around the time I discovered Saxon at the tender age of 17 and to be fair it's pretty spooky that it's been 15 years since then! Where that 15 years gone I really don't know! It feels like a blur! 😳 That being said, I'm still banging to my head to Saxon and probably will be until my dying days! 🤘

[@TheVargen1971]

@@HammerHeart3229 Yes the album was released January 2009 in Sweden I remember. A while ago for sure and spooky is the right word.

[@salvatorerusso5436]

Metal legend respect biff.

[@LEIFanevret]

Awesome! Mighty Saxon! Wow! Pure gold! Orchestration and film sequence is truly the right concept! Amazing! 10/10!

[@midnitedynamite1972]

Saxon is one of a few Classic Metal band that still make great records along with Maiden or W.A.S.P. in my opinion. Saxon rules

[@TheHeavymetalthunder]

Saw them first time as 13 year old young boy in Poland, then 17 times in USA, meet Biff in NYC as well, what a gentleman. Rocked out by the stage in NYC numerous times! Now I will see them once again in Paris October 3rd. Long live Saxon! BTW I have Saxon tattoo together with Maiden, Mercyfull Fate and Exodus. Since early 80’s

[@sergetartare5341]

super grand groupe par sa longévité, et quel titre c'est magistrale.... yep

[@alexandrejnonato6961]

Sensacional.... Foi muito bom ter siso jovem nesta época.... Meu pai trazia os discos de Portugal pra mim...na década de 80... Creio queno 1o foi em 83 ou 84...nao me recordo...rs Tenho todos os 6 primeiros LPs do Saxon...guardadinhos.

[@emesonpaufero1153]

Great Song, Saxon the best.

[@GRILLBUOY101]

[@geraldhentrich1211]

"Battalions Of Steel" Take up your sword the sword of the brave You fight for legion you fight to the grave For death and for glory your spirit won't die Legions of steel to battle you cry Hail to the heroes stand to the last Gone are warriors they call from the past Battalion's battalions of steel Riding out to glory and fame To march or to die that was your creed Comrades in arms an army of steel No one can stand your power and might Onwards together into the fight Hail to the heroes stand to the last Gone are warriors they call from the past Battalion's battalions of steel Riding out to glory and fame Battalion's battalions of steel Marching out to glory and fame Legions of steel to battle they cry Marching to glory their spirits won't die For death and for glory your fight to the grave Raise up your sword the sword of the brave Hail to the heroes stand to the last Gone are warriors they call from the past Battalion's battalions of steel Riding out to glory and fame Battalion's battalions of steel Marching out to glory and fame

[@hanvandenbelt5823]

I knew Saxon rocks but this blows my mind!!

[@jackluminous6024]

I believe, that Sir Nigel Glockler, is the greatest Drummer alive. For some time, now. Thank you for allowing me to state my opinion. This is to say, since the end of Rush's final tour, LA in August 2015, when the Professor, Mr. Cornelius Ellwood Peart, spanked his last drum, the Crown was finally passed to the glorious Sir Nigel. Amen.

[@flaviomeireles2117]

Longa vida ao Saxon!

[@patolucaspato163]

[@arkanacodaxeguitarplayer5779]

Saxon always stunning during the years... they never disappointed me

[@vernonslabbert9951]

I've known to love them from hearing motorcycle man whilst doing a 3 week army camp with the South African defense force.. Lying in a tent at lendz ammo depot.. Eish.. Memories.. Been a fan of them ever since.. Pleeeeze tour South Africa before I die..

[@rucheyok7757]

LONG LIVE SAXON.

[@Beerdudeish]

Pure AWESOMENESS

[@mchenrynick]

Wow, finally a video for Battalions of Steel!?! This is great, but why was it put off for so long? Where was this back in 2009 or 2010? I just happen to find this, searching for newer material from Saxon. Great video, but much too long overdue to an album that's almost a decade old.

[@Sean-fv4wi]

This did come out back then, maybe it just wasn't widely circulated & u missed it somehow or maybe it was pulled off youtube for a while...

[@jns2videos676]

this is my favorite Saxon song.

[@Manumanunitomidri]

For me they are entirely different.

[@Sean-fv4wi]

This video would be better cos that video came out over 25 years earlier & is obviously dated (I actually watched it just the other day for the first time in ages) but the actual song Holy Diver is better than this song in my opinion. Total worship for both bands tho \m/ RIP Dio :'(

[@kforcer]

@@PauloHowlett Yeah, totally different songs, other than both being really good and really epic.
