Together with its predecessor, Strong Arm of the Law is regarded as another Saxon classic. With the trashing "Heavy Metal Thunder" and closing with "Dallas 1 PM" (which is about the assasination of John F. Kennedy), Saxon proved to be the leaders of NWOBHM, touring and gaining success in Britian, Europe and the United States.
