SAXON Frontman On Forthcoming Heavy Metal Thunder Album - "We've Decided To Include A Short Film Of Download 2008"






SAXON frontman Biff byford has issued the following update:

"Hi all out there in Rocktopia!

Just a quick blog. We have been working on the Heavy Metal Thunder album this week and we've decided to include a short film of download 2008. We feel this was such an important event in our recent career that it has to be included. This means the release to those of you who have pre-ordered it there will be a delay for a while. After all it's all about quality not quantity. After seeing all of the DVD last night I think you will love it, so don't blame Coolhead. It's my fault wanting to give you the best documentary that we possibly can.

On another matter we have just finished rehearsing for the tour and we will be playing 'Requiem (We Will Remember)' in memory of our good friend Mick Cox guitarist for ROSE TATTOO who went on to the other side recently.

To Absent Friends..."

SAXON's Nibbs Carter Unable To Join Band On Upcoming Tour





SAXON's webmaster has issued the following update on behalf of the band:

"Sadly we are forced to announce that Nibbs (Carter, bass) won’t be able to join us on the upcoming tour!

Due to health problems of his wife we all decided that it will be the best for all if he stays with his wife and family to make sure that she will get well soon.

We still want to do the tour and looking really forward to meeting all the Saxon fans out there - it wouldn't be fair to you to postpone the tour again.

Gladly our friend Yenz Leonhardt (KINGDOM COME, LACRIMOSA, etc.) will jump in for this part of the tour and try to replace Nibbs part as best he can, although Nibbs is irreplaceable to us.

Thanks for your understanding and keep on rockin’."
