The Inner Sanctum is the seventeenth studio album by British heavy metal band Saxon, released on 5 March 2007. It is the first album by the band to feature drummer Nigel Glockler since 1997's Unleash the Beast. Atila the Hun" is about Attila the Hun, who almost destroyed the Roman Empire. If I Was You" is about gun culture.

The Inner Sanctum (2007) by Saxon. Genres: Heavy Metal Members: Biff Byford, Paul Quinn, Doug Scarratt, Nibbs Carter, Nigel Glockler.

2007's The Inner Sanctum is the group's seventeenth studio album, the eighth since renouncing their lost weekend as hapless hair metal wannabes in the late '80s, and their first in ten years to feature returning longtime drummer Nigel Glockler, whose famously busy hands and feet appear to have lost nothing to age (almost suspiciously so, in fact). Sprinkled among them is The Inner Sanctum's controversial lead single, "If I Was You," which was given a radio mix during Saxon's rather skeptical participation in a British reality show meant to re-energize their career (make sure your CD contains the album version), and a closing historical epic of more dubious quality titled "Atila the Hun" (and prefaced by synth. intro "Empire Rising").

At 5:37, The Inner Sanctum's opening track State of Grace would be one of, if not the finest tracks on the album. After about a quite minute long intro which helps create suspense and interest in the music, the song morphs into a Helloween influenced piece of work. With album number eighteen Saxon definitely shows that their age has not caught up with their music's quality, nor will they coast aimlessly through the rest of their playing days. With songs such as Need for Speed and If I Was You the British band puts forth efforts which reflect its past sound and its present sound.
