SAXON RELEASE “1066” MUSIC VIDEO

To celebrate their upcoming European Hell, Fire And Steel tour, Saxon unleash the dramatic video for the new single, “1066”, taken from their 24th studio album, Hell, Fire And Damnation, out now via Silver Lining Music.

Biff Byford says: “A totally British themed song, the massive invasion… In fact, it was the end of the Saxons really, so I’m singing about the demise of the Saxons. I did a song with Amon Amarth a while back called ‘Saxons and Vikings’ which was about the end of the Vikings in England and the rise of the Saxons, so I thought I may as well do a song about six-seven hundred years later when William the Conqueror comes over and nobbles the Saxons. We’ll be playing the song on the Hell, Fire And Steel tour next month, which is gonna be fantastic.”

Meanwhile tickets for the Hell, Fire and Steel tour are selling fast with many of the band’s shows already sold out, including the very first show in Bremen and more shows also running low on tickets. Saxon are joined by their great friends, Girlschool, as main support with Grand Slam appearing as special guests. Whilst very special guest, Doro, joins Saxon on the last show at the Mitsubishi Electric Halle in Düsseldorf.
