In a new audio interview with Maximum Threshold Radio, SAXON frontman Biff Byford discusses the band's new album Sacrifice, a possible duet with HALESTORM's Lzzy Hale, and the fact that he won't be working on a Saxon Christmas album this year. Listen to the 25-minute audio interview below:

Saxon debuted on the German Media Control Charts at #14 with Sacrifice.

According to a press release, taking a sharper, re-invigorated approach to the production, on this, their 20th album, Saxon have produced 10 of their strongest, heaviest and most inspired songs for many-a-year, and a more than worthy successor to their last album, A Call To Arms.

Check out the video for 'Sacrifice' below:
