“Blasting chunks of magma into the atmosphere”
Saxon’s Krakatoa is an explosive B-Side from their 1985 single Rock N’ Roll Gypsy. It’s a lively old-school banger very much along the lines of their classic Power And The Glory. Probably a bit too much like it… which might explain why it never made it on to an album. But even if it is Saxon-by-numbers, it’s got more fire and grit than a lot of the stuff that made it on that year’s Innocence Is No Excuse. And if you’re one of those fans that found that album a bit too Def Lep for your liking, this track will be right up your alley.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD 
Is it a metaphor for Biff’s little chap?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the similarity to the Power and the Glory was the reason it was relegated to B-side status. I remember thinking the cure’s “a pink dream” was among their best ever – but its similarity to “mint car” is surely why it was a b-side!

Don’t know those songs so I’ll have to take your word for that, but it does sound like a similar situation!
