Limited edition of 1000 numbered copies on silver coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Dogs of War is the twelfth studio album by the heavy metal band Saxon, released in 1995. This one marked a period of changes for Saxon, both in their sound and lineup. Thanks to early '90s albums like Solid Ball of Rock and Forever Free, Saxon convinced many skeptics that they still had plenty of quality heavy metal to offer. After a three-year recording hiatus, the band returned to glory with the massive-sounding Dogs of War. Once past it's thunderous opening title track, Dogs of War delivered a slew of improbably memorable and distinctive numbers, including Big Twin Rolling (Coming Home), The Great White Buffalo, and Demolition Alley. It was also the last album with longtime guitarist Graham Oliver as a member of the classic formation-he left shortly after the album's release.
