Unleash the Beast is the thirteenth studio album by English heavy metal band Saxon and was originally released in 1997. It was their first studio album with Doug Scarratt on guitar.
New Wave of British Heavy Metal icons Saxon enjoyed a highly unexpected return to favor among metal heads at the time.
Unleash the Beast represented the group's gradual rehabilitation process as they returned to the core and were doing what they do best: play heavy metal! Stand-out tracks on this album include "Terminal Velocity," "Circle of Light," and "The Preacher".
Unleash the Beast made it possible for Saxon to tour America for the first time in almost a decade, and thus contributed to their steady climb back into the hearts of the metalheads, leading to even more widespread success in the new millennium.
Unleash The Beast is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on red colored vinyl and includes an insert.
