Saxon announce new album ‘Hell, Fire And Damnation’

SAXON have announced a new album!

Titled Hell, Fire And Damnation, the upcoming album from the veteran British heavy metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s Carpe Diem, and is scheduled to be released in January next year, via Silver Lining Music.

The upcoming album was produced, mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap [JUDAS PRIEST, EXODUS, ACCEPT etc] and vocalist Biff Byford.

Speaking about the upcoming album, Byford says, “I’ve had that saying in my head since I was a small boy because my dad used to say it when he was upset. He used to say, ‘Hell, fire, and damnation, what’s tha’ been doing now?!’ when I was ‘messing up his cabbage patch’ or carving things into the kitchen table. It was a very ‘Yorkshire’ saying back in the day.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Hell, Fire And Damnation. “There’s so much music out there about hell and the devil and the occult that I just thought it’s about time somebody wrote one about the battle just between good and evil!” Explains Biff. “You can’t sing about the devil without singing about the good guy either, and the song basically says ‘make your choice’. We all have to make the choice, are we evil or are we good? The song’s about that fight.”
