SAXON Announce 2024 US Tour With URIAH HEEP

Saxon and Uriah Heep are joining forces for a US tour, taking place April - June, 2024. The trek, dubbed Hell, Fire & Chaos - The Best Of British Rock And Metal, will be in support of Saxon's upcoming Hell, Fire And Damnation album, and Uriah Heep's Chaos & Colour, released back in January.

Says Saxon: "We will be back in the USA April, May & June 2024 with our great friends Uriah Heep! Dates will be announced January 8th!"

Stay tuned for updates.

Saxon’s 24th studio album, Hell, Fire And Damnation, is set for release January 19 via Silver Lining Music.

Hell, Fire And Damnation is an album which sees Saxon investigate all areas of history and mystery amidst ten of their most confident and thunderously powerful songs yet. Biff delivers his richest vocals in years, Nigel Glockler and Nibbs Carter on drums and bass respectively lay down the rhythmic law with bombastic power, and the guitars of Doug Scarratt and Brian Tatler are fresh and fiery, a perfect complement to each other, carrying an overall energy and fury which will have fans salivating. Musically, Saxon bring it all to the table. There's a furious tribute to actual heavy metal in the denim & leather coated super-sprint “Fire And Steel”, a wonderful nod to the NWOBHM's birth in the electric mid-pace “Pirates Of The Airwaves”, but maybe the true treasure amidst the jewels is “There's Something In Roswell”, with the sort of expansive groove and embrace which deserves arenas.

Produced by Andy Sneap (Judas Priest, Exodus, Accept and Priest guitarist) and Biff Byford, with Sneap mixing and mastering, Hell, Fire And Damnation strides the perfect line between confident, current power, and gloriously irreverent flexing of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal muscle which Saxon co-created.

Hell, Fire And Damnation will be available in a variety of formats and pre-orders can be placed here.
