SAXON have released an official lyric video for “Pirates Of The Airways”, featured on their latest album, “Hell, Fire And Damnation”. Watch the clip below
SAXON are also pleased to announce that GRAND SLAM will be joining them alongside the already announced GIRLSCHOOL on the band’s upcoming “Hell, Fire And Steel European tour”.
SAXON’s Biff Byford says: “Great to be having GRAND SLAM on tour with us great band gonna be EPIC!”
The “Hell, Fire and Steel European” tour will not only see the band performing songs from their well received, recently released, top 20 album, “Hell, Fire And Damnation”, but also play the whole of their classic sophomore album “Wheels of Steel” (released 45 years ago next year) as well as playing other fan favourites and hits from across the band’s career.
Tickets, as well as the band’s full tour itinerary, are available here.
SAXON’s “Hell, Fire And Damnation” is a superlative British heavy metal classic. Biff Byford delivers his richest vocals in years, Nigel Glockler and Nibbs Carter on drums and bass respectively lay down the rhythmic law with bombastic power, and the guitars of Doug Scarratt and Brian Tatler are fresh and fiery, a perfect complement to each other, carrying an overall energy and fury which will have fans salivating. Musically, SAXON bring it all to the table. There’s a furious tribute to actual heavy metal in the denim & leather coated super-sprint “Fire And Steel”, a wonderful nod to the NWOBHM’s birth in the electric mid-pace “Pirates Of The Airwaves” and the glorious frenetic assault of the title track “Hell, Fire And Damnation”.
Produced by Andy Sneap (JUDAS PRIEST, EXODUS, ACCEPT) and Biff Byford, with Sneap mixing and mastering, “Hell, Fire And Damnation” strides the perfect line between confident, current power, and gloriously irreverent flexing of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal muscle which SAXON co-created.
“Hell, Fire And Damnation” is available in a variety of formats and orders can be placed here.
