#Saxon #HellFireAndDamnation
Biff Byford, lead singer and founder-member reminisces when asked about the title of the bandβs brand new release, Hell, Fire And Damnation.
βIβve had that saying in my head since I was a small boy because my dad used to say it when he was upset,β Biff smiles. βHe used to say, βHell, fire, and damnation, whatβs thaβ been doing now?!β when I was βmessing up his cabbage patchβ or carving things into the kitchen table. It was a very βYorkshireβ saying back in the day.β
The title track unleashed today is a superlative British Heavy Metal classic exploring the juxtaposition between good and evil.
βThereβs so much music out there about hell and the devil and the occult that I just thought itβs about time somebody wrote one about the battle just between good and evil!β explains Biff. βYou canβt sing about the devil without singing about the good guy either, and the song basically says βmake your choiceβ. We all have to make the choice, are we evil or are we good? The songβs about that fight.β

Hell, Fire And Damnation is an album which sees Saxon investigate all areas of history and mystery amidst ten of their most confident and thunderously powerful songs yet. Biff 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. Thereβs a furious tribute to actual heavy metal in the denim & leather coated super-sprint βFire And Steelβ, a wonderful nod to the NWOBHMβs birth in the electric mid-pace βPirates Of The Airwavesβ, but maybe the true treasure amidst the jewels is βThereβs Something In Roswellβ, with the sort of expansive groove and embrace which deserves arenas.
Produced by Andy Sneap (Judas Priest, Exodus, Accept and Priest guitarist) 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.
2024 promises to be a great year for Saxon, with the European tour alongside Judas Priest and Uriah Heep kicking-off in the UK in March, plus the arrival of the heavy metal masterpiece Hell, Fire And Damnation.
