Killing Ground is the fifteenth full-length studio album by heavy metal band Saxon released in 2001 (see 2001 in music).
This album varies between modern sounding speed metal to Saxon's more traditional blues-rock. "Court Of The Crimson King" is a King Crimson cover, but there is no indication of this in the album inlay, which lists "all song written by Saxon."
Killing Ground was also released as a special Digi-pack edition with a bonus disc featuring 8 classics re-recorded tracks which would later appear in Heavy Metal Thunder.
