Question
I have had this song stuck in my head for quite a while now.
its kind of a mix like metal/orchestra rock...i would search that
genre but find nothing. some of the words go like "the vetallions of steeeeeel!!! (or stallions, betallions something like that i could never make it out) and then the orchestral part comes there is like humming/chanting after that line i just said. oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...lol thats really the best i can describe it. would you know what im talking about by any chance?
thanks for reading.

Answer
I would recommend starting here. An old favorite of mine, Saxon. Into the Labryinth(album), Battalions of Steel(song/intro).. Let me know immediately if this is not what you are talking about and I WILL find it.,,

It is a newer Saxon release.


P.S. Check out all of the early releases, they were one of the best "New Wave of British Metal" bands ever. Denim and Leather is a good one. Rock the Nations came along in the mid-eighties. There was a song on there called "Northern lady" that got the crowd's lighters going everywhere. Great band. Biff was the singer. Time to break out my old Saxon albums! Also, they are a favorite of Metallica I do believe. Although I do not recall Metallica covering any Saxon. Maybe I missed that one. Saw them many times as an opening band, but never as a headliner. It's a shame because they had a huge fan base.
