Saxon Taking On The Devil And Taxation On New Album


. (Classic Rock) Saxon frontman Biff Byford says the band's upcoming 21st album will feature themes as diverse as the devil and taxation. The singer reveals the names of two tracks from the record, which they are recording with producer Andy Sneap.

One song, called The Devil's Footprint, recounts a tale form the 1600s while another track, Tax Till You Drop, looks at evil of another kind. Byford tells the Metal Hammer Magazine Show on TeamRock Radio: "We have lots of ideas and I've been in the studio with Andy Sneap a couple of times going through the song ideas and melodies and putting titles to the songs. So we have started the next album. We'll be doing that at Andy's place this time and letting him have more control over the album.

"I'm looking at stories. One of the songs is called The Devil's Footprint which is about the time they woke up - I don't know what year it was, probably 1600s - and there was hoof prints over all the houses. They followed it for miles in the snow. I've written a song about that.

"Another one is Tax Till You Drop. We can do that, Saxon, we can drop in between classic rock and heavy metal." Read more here.
