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 withstill-clad rifferyand proud intent, Carpe Diem isthe 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 Saxons most dynamic release inmany a year.It all starts with the riff,says frontman and co-founder Biff Byford, if the riff speaks to me, then were onour way. Its a very intense album, and thats 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 tracks roll-back attack to the incessant speed and power ofSuper Nova, this is Saxon attheir 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.All for One has the stomp and pure power of aPrincess of the NightwhileThe Pilgrimage is classicCrusader-era Saxon. Produced byAndy 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 willignite the joy in stalwart supporters and attract a whole new legion to theSaxon fold.I 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 style affirms Byford but its the same five guys playing it and singing it, so I think we dont really sound like an old band on records because were not really sitting back on our past success. Were always trying to make a great album.We want every album we make to go platinum, says Byford defiantly. We never make an album that we dont expect to be fantastic because there are no laurels around here, only acommitment to the best songs and riffs we can write. Saxon have certainly made sure to Seize the Day; be sure you join them.
