FROM UPCOMING RELEASE
“EAGLES OVER HELLFEST”
OUT THIS WEEK
NEW 2025 SHOWS ANNOUNCED
To mark the upcoming Eagles Over Hellfest release, out this week, SAXON unleash the video for “Heavy Metal Thunder (Live at Hellfest)”. Eagles Over Hellfest is in celebration of the band’s fast approaching “Castles & Eagles” headline shows in September 2025 at the Zénith in Paris, Nantes and Toulouse and features the audio recording of the band’s sensational show from Hellfest 2024.
Biff Byford, lead singer and founding member comments: “‘Heavy Metal Thunder’ is a classic that always goes down well live. It's from our new release, Eagles Over Hellfest, which we recorded at the French festival on our Castles & Eagles show last year. It was great to close the evening after Metallica’s set!”
From Strong Arm Of The Law to Power & The Glory and Denim And Leather to the latest Hell, Fire And Damnation, all of SAXON's greatest anthems have been revisited on Eagles Over Hellfest, an unmissable collection showcasing the band’s exemplary career devoted to Heavy Metal!
Eagles Over Hellfest will be released this Friday, June 13th via Silver Lining Music. The release will be available as a double audio CD set along with the band’s latest studio album, Hell, Fire And Damnation, and as a standalone double coloured vinyl and digital release. Orders can be placed here.
Following a string of successful and sold-out shows in Japan and South America, SAXON show no signs of slowing down with a long list of dates across Europe and the UK planned throughout the rest of 2025. For tickets and more information visit: saxon747.com/tourdates
