Waiting for the night

Reviewer-Bikash Shrestha

Saxon was one of the leaders of the bands representing the new wave of British Heavy Metal of the Eighties. Formed in 1977, they are one of the rare bands of those days who are still surviving, albeit with a lot of line up changes. Extensive touring and numerous albums became their hallmarks, which they have maintained even till today.

Free me

Reviewer- Bikash Shrestha

“Free me” is one of the most successful songs of the British heavy metal Band-Uriah Heep (A fictional character from Charles Dickens novel-David Copperfield). Uriah Heep is represented as one of the pioneers of British heavy metal scene of the seventies. Although a heavy metal band, Uriah Heep’s “Free me” does not represent a typical heavy metal song. However, it’s free flowing smooth melody with a tinge of rock optimizes with all the rockers, whether hard or soft.
