Saxon, those seminal British Heavy Metal Heroes hailing from Barnsley, UK, will release Carpe Diem on February 4th 2022 through Silver Lining Music. Ten titanic tracks bristling withnbspstillclad rifferynbspand proud intent, Carpe Diem isnbspthe statement which reminds heavy metal fans worldwide who the true masters of British Metal are, drawing on a variety of ingredients from their career to forge what is Saxonrsquos most dynamic release innbspmany a year.It all starts with the riff,rdquonbspsays frontman and cofounder Biff Byford, if the riff speaks to me, then wersquore onnbspour way. Itrsquos a very intense album, and thatrsquos all down to the fact that the essence of a great metal song is the riff that starts it, and this album has loads of them.From the title trackrsquos rollback attack to the incessant speed and power ofnbspldquoSuper Novardquo, this is Saxon atnbsptheir purest and most definitive, aggressively parading the pure metal flag and imploring fans old and new to gather and celebrate the very best of both Saxon and the genre itself.nbspldquoAll for Onerdquo has the stomp and pure power of anbspldquoPrincess of the NightrdquonbspwhilenbspldquoThe Pilgrimagerdquo is classicnbspldquoCrusaderrdquoera Saxon. Produced bynbspAndy Sneap Judas Priest, Exodus, Accept and Richie Faulkner at Backstage Recording Studios in Derbyshire with Byford with Sneap mixing and mastering, Carpe Diem strikes the ear as one of the most essential British Metal statements of the last few years, one which willnbspignite the joy in stalwart supporters and attract a whole new legion to theSaxon fold.ldquoI love that sort of fast metal. I love Princess of the Night and 20,000 FT and I try and bring that style of Saxon into the music now but in a bit more modern stylerdquo affirms Byford ldquobut itrsquos the same five guys playing it and singing it, so I think we donrsquot really sound like an old band on records because wersquore not really sitting back on our past success. Wersquore always trying to make a great album.rdquoldquoWe want every album we make to go platinum,rdquo says Byford defiantly. We never make an album that we donrsquot expect to be fantastic because there are no laurels around here, only anbspcommitment to the best songs and riffs we can write.rdquo Saxon have certainly made sure to Seize the Day be sure you join them.
