Since 1979 SAXON have shown their ability to take rock ‘n’ roll and give it an electrifying edge, which has since cemented their status as pioneers of the British heavy metal wave. With over twenty studio albums under their belt, SAXON has made their steadfast dedication to creating a dynamic body of a work a staple of their career. With no signs of letting up, the SAXON Juggernaut continues with the release earlier this year of their latest album “THUNDERBOLT” and an ongoing World Tour that’s going from strength to strength.
Along with the release of their latest video for the track “Predator” featuring Johan Hegg from Amon Amarth from the aforementioned Thunderbolt album, the band have just announced a string of US Tour dates, following the incredibly successful tour with Judas Priest earlier this year and prior to their appearance on the 2019 Monsters Of Rock Cruise out of Florida.
