Steamhammer/SPV has set a February 21, 2006 U.S. release date for the special-edition reissues of two SAXON classics — "Lionheart" and "Dogs of War" — featuring bonus material.

"Lionheart", which was originally released in September 2004, will be out in a limited-edition box of 10,000 copies worldwide, including a digipack (CD and bonus audio DVD) and exclusive lanyard/keyholder. The brand-new audio DVD features previously unreleased material, videos, rough mixes and a new 5.1 / 96 K mix of the whole album.

The new edition of the 1995 milestone "Dogs Of War" will be out as a SuPerValue Re-Release framed in black, featuring brand-new liner notes by vocalist Biff Byford and two bonus tracks ("The Great White Buffalo" and "Denim & Leather"),recorded live during their 1995 "Dogs Of War" tour.
