Expectations are automatically high when its time for a new Saxon album. But have no fear and make no mistake, Saxon meet and exceed them on their 2024 album, Hell, Fire And Damnation, creating a superlative British Heavy Metal classic which 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. There is supreme confidence in every performance. Biff Byford delivers his richest vocals in years, Nigel Glockler and Nibbs Carter on drums and bass respectively lay down the rhythmic law with thunderous power, and guitarist Doug Scarratt have now been joined by Diamond Head founder Brian Tatler and the duo sounds fresh and fiery, a perfect complement to each other, and carrying an overall energy and fury which will have fans salivating. Lyrically, Byford enjoys investigating all areas of both history and mystery, with Marie Antoinette, Kubla Khan, the Battle of Hastings, the Salem witch trials and the fight between good and evil on the title track all in the mix. This is Saxon’s most definitive statement in years.
