British heavy metal legends, Saxon, are thrilled to announce the release of their new single, “Black Is The Night”, which is taken from latest album, Carpe Diem.

“Black Is The Night” is quintessentially Saxon, a song bursting with heavy metal energy fuelled by heavy riffs, stomping drums and intense bluesy reminiscences. Watch the new video below:

In addition, the band will embark on a full UK/European headline tour this fall, with special guests Diamond Head.

Kicking off on October 2 in Paris, the Seize The Day Tour will see the band bring their incendiary, energetic and electrifying live performance to 31 cities across Europe and the UK. For the first time fans will experience the band playing songs from latest album Carpe Diem, amongst the classic anthems.

Frontman Biff Byford comments: “Looking forward to the Seize The Day Tour. See you all on the road and enjoy the new video for Black Is The Night!”
