Saxon confirmed first support band on their continental European Run in June!

Tuesday, 05 March 2013

We are happy to announce that AC Angry will be support No.1 and opening act for our European dates in June apart from Saxon's festival appearances!
AC ANGRY stands for pent-up anger channelled into a feisty rock ‘n’ roll attitude. Their sound is comparable to early Wonderfools, coupled with desert riff grooves and a touch of late Turbonegro and their roots lie clearly in the classic rock ’n’ metal of the 80s!



AC ANGRY are facing 2013 with high anticipation. The debut album “Black Denim“ – produced by Phil Hillen (Powerwolf, Parachutes, The Vision Bleak, Vendetta) at SU2 Studio -  will finally be released. Iconic illustrator Jan Meininghaus (U.D.O., Bolt Thrower, Brainstorm) is responsible for the perfectly fitting artwork. AC ANGRY are demonstrating with a total of 10 songs how a dirty rock ‘n’ roll album is supposed to sound!

Welcome and keep the faith!

DENIM & LEATHER was originally released in 1981 and instantly became a cornerstone of the NWOBHM.

Fans will be able to witness the Metal Legends up close in a club environment, supported by two local bands: Primitai and Dendera. Both bands have cited Saxon as their musical mentors by combining classic Metal with Thrash influences and modern Sounds.
