Biff Byford

Fans alarmed over Saxon’s future, following the decision last year of co-founding guitarist Paul Quinn to step away from touring, can rest easy. With guitarist Brian Tatler of Diamond Head now on board (he was originally expected to just be playing with Saxon live), new album Hell, Fire And Damnation is a continuation of a proud recorded legacy that now spans four and a half decades. Frontman Biff Byford gives us the lowdown on that and more.

Hell, Fire And Damnation is a screaming dizbuster of a heavy metal record.
