It’s hard to pinpoint the reasons for Saxon’s gradual fall from stardom, but by the time they released 1984’s Crusader, the band had obviously stopped leading the New Wave of British Heavy Metal with its aggressive biker anthems, and fallen in line behind Iron Maiden’s epic historical themes and more complex song structures. It did them no good. Crusader was actually a slight improvement from the songwriting perspective and the title track can still to this be called a true Saxon classic
