SAXON: 'The Inner Sanctum' To Receive U.S. Release In April

January 15, 2007

SPV has set a January 20 digital/download release date for the new SAXON single, "If I Was You". The group's new full-length album, "The Inner Sanctum", will arrive on March 5 in Europe and April 3 in the U.S.

According to a press release, "The Inner Sanctum" offers "powerful sounds and ambitioned lyrics about Eastern revolutions, British kings and queens and the attitude of great warriors. At the same time, lead vocalist Biff Byford displays an energy that's almost physically perceptible." Byford says: "'The Inner Sanctum' is the most powerful album we've ever recorded." He also notes about their new single, "I wrote the lyrics for our new single based on gun and knife crime having seen so many tragic stories of somebody getting knifed to death for a mobile phone and three quid or some young mother caught in the crossfire between two idiots with guns. 'If I was you and you were me, would you live your life differently?'"

SAXON will mark the release of the new single and the band's return to the British metal scene with an electrifying new Guinness World Record attempt for "air guitar" at Sheffield Wednesday Football Club on Saturday, January 20. The gig will also be part of a one-hour special Channel 4 TV program called "Harvey Goldsmith Presents" which is set to air in April.

A new SAXON three-disc compilation, entitled "The Very Best Of Saxon: 1979-1988", is released in Europe today (January 15).

Steamhammer/SPV released SAXON's live album, "The Eagle Has Landed Pt. III", in the U.S. on June 27, 2006. The collection features the first new recordings with drummer Nigel Glockler, who returned to the SAXON fold following an extended creative break.
