SAXON: 'The Inner Sanctum' To Receive U.S. Release In April - Jan. 15, 2007

SPV has set a January 20 digital/download release date for the new SAXON single, "If I Was You". The group's new full-length album, "The Inner Sanctum", will arrive on March 5 in Europe and April 3 in the U.S.

According to a press release, "The Inner Sanctum" offers "powerful sounds and ambitioned lyrics about Eastern revolutions, British kings and queens and the attitude of great warriors. At the same time, lead vocalist Biff Byford displays an energy that's almost physically perceptible." Byford says: "'The Inner Sanctum' is the most powerful album we've ever recorded." He also notes about their new single, "I wrote the lyrics for our new single based on gun and knife crime having seen so many tragic stories of somebody getting knifed to death for a mobile phone and three quid or some young mother caught in the crossfire between two idiots with guns. 'If I was you and you were me, would you live your life differently?'"

SAXON will mark the release of the new single and the band's return to the British metal scene with an electrifying new Guinness World Record attempt for "air guitar" at Sheffield Wednesday Football Club on Saturday, January 20. The gig will also be part of a one-hour special Channel 4 TV program called "Harvey Goldsmith Presents" which is set to air in April.

A new SAXON three-disc compilation, entitled "The Very Best Of Saxon: 1979-1988", is released in Europe today (January 15).

Steamhammer/SPV released SAXON's live album, "The Eagle Has Landed Pt. III", in the U.S. on June 27, 2006. The collection features the first new recordings with drummer Nigel Glockler, who returned to the SAXON fold following an extended creative break.

I have an increasingly uneasy feeling about all this. Bearing in mind Harvey Goldsmith is involved there has been little or no PR that I've seen for the gig or the air guitar malarkey (with the exception of the radio shows).

Whats everyone elses gut feeling?

 

[Bec]

Without advertising, nobody will turn up!
I'd go if I knew more about what was going on but I ain't hanging about Sheffield Wednesday ground all day, when I'll be seeing Saxon on the 26th!

It is very odd!

Yeah think you're right mate, it's all a bit odd. I thought we would be hearing about the Sheffield gig all over the place, but there has been virtually nothing. How crap is that going to look on channel 4 with Saxon playing to a half empty venue?

As for the air guitar thing. I haven't seen the football fixtures, but I just assumed they were doing it at a Sheffield Wednesday home game, probably at half time?

Do those Radio shows actually get alot of listeners anyway??? I only bothered with them because i knew Biff was on them in the first place because of this forum, Generally i dont bother listening to songs other people play, whats the point in that lol

 

[Bosnian Witchfinder]

im sure harveys got his links and im sure theres a few hundred special guests and freinds coming down, im not that worried. The football match is a good place to promote.

Bear in mind theres 20 of us regular forum people, yet when you go to a gig theres 2000 other people. So i wouldnt get worried, theres plenty of other people who are big saxon fans that dont use this forum and somehow turn up to gigs.

The air guitar thing is very, very scary….

I mean just thing of the type of people involved in this type of thing..

1)The numbskull who came up with the idea in the first place…..
2)The type of people who would happily allow this thing to happen at their venue….Ohhh me and Mr. Bucket (pronounced bouquet) in accounting are real rock & rollers now!!!
3)The type of people who would participate in this fucking dork fest…..

Are any of these people the type that would normally be associated with the band we all love…..Seems more like a thing the management of (the new) Meathead-talica and the staff of KSUX radio would come up with!

I'm wondering whether to head off to the Sheffield Wednesday ground on Saturday to see what actually is gonna happen, I'm guessing they'll do their stuff during half time, which is an extremely scary thought!

I will report back, if i get there!
