Band information

Saracen was a NWOBHM-styled outfit from Perth that formed in 1980. The band had begun work on a full-length album when Meyer was offered a position with Rose Tattoo. Ex-Black Alice guitarist Jamie Page was brought in as his replacement but the new line-up changed its name to Trilogy. When Meyer returned to the band in 1986, they reverted to their former name and released a self-titled album. It was also released as a Trilogy album on that band's French label under the title Next in Line.
