Derbyshire´s Saracen was a hard, verging on progressive, rockensemble that was founded in Derbyshire in 1976. The band releasedtheir critically acclaimed debut album `Heroes, Saints And Fools´in 1981 and were caught up in the New Wave Of British Heavy Metalgenre. However the band never tried to overtly latch onto themovement´s coattails, and was all fine musicians in their ownright, particularly singer Steven Bettney, who possessed a rich andpowerful voice. Completed by Robert Bendelow (guitar), Richard Lowe(keyboards), Barry Yates (bass), and John Thorne (drums), Saracenearned an early patronage from influential Friday Rock Showpresenter Tommy Vance, who invited them to record a few radiosessions. For the second album `Change Of Heart´ the band signed toNeat records and the single `We Have Arrived´ was released prior tothe album as a taster of what to come. This second album was a morehook and synth laden post-progressive AOR rock in the vein of aKansas or Magnum. This was a very well played album but in the sadreality Neat records weren´t able to promote bands that played thatstyle of metal and the band were doomed while they were signed tometal-specialized Neat. The group made it to one more Friday RockShow session before the band called it a day. The split would lastfor 15 years before the band resurfaced and Saracen proved with the`Red Sky´ album in 2003 and especially the `Vox In Excelso´ in 2006that they once again were masters when it comes to progressivemelodic epic metal
