SAXON vocalist/frontman Biff Byford and guitarist Doug Scarratt are enjoying their time in New York City where BraveWords correspondent Matthew O'Shaughnessy recently caught up with the legendary outfit for a chat on his WVOX Metal Mayhem show in New York. Eager to spread the headbanging word on Saxon's twentieth studio album, Sacrifice, Byford and Scarratt spoke with O'Shaughnessy about the latest album and working with Andy Sneap, the early days of the band in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England and why the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal pioneers have endured for nearly four decades.
