DESCRIPTION:
Their debut album Heroes, Saints and Fools with its powerful brand of hard edged Pomp Rock became an instant classic on its release in 1981. The follow up Change of Heart with its more commercial approach failed to capture the spirit of their debut and the band split soon after its release. Coaxed out of retirement by Bruce Mee of Now and Then Record in 2003 Saracen have gone on to create another four impressive releases more in the spirit of their fabled debut album. Mick Burgess caught up with lead singer Steve Bettney and keyboardist Paul Bradder ahead of an ultra rare live show at the BroFest NWOBHM festival in Newcastle to talk about the making of the debut album and why the band reformed again after so long away.
