“Pilgrimage is a fantastic word. People go on pilgrimages all the time, not just in a historical or religious sense, but it’s about going and visiting either a place that you feel is special in your life or somebody that’s meant something in your life. You can go on a pilgrimage to go see your great grandfather who died in the First World War for instance. They’re journeys of great weight and importance.” Bx #Saxon #CarpeDiem #ThePilgrimage

For sure with long-term effect!” – CLASSIC ROCK

"Carpe Diem overall serves as a testament that Saxon still has plenty of bullets left in their guns and showcases a band entering their fifth decade of existence with fire still burning." - BLABBERMOUTH
“With hard riffs, embedded in ‘liquid’ guitar melodies Saxon is presenting
their new songs within the sound of the 2020’s. A lot of speed, energy and a bit aggression as well!” – GOOD TIMES

Answer – release albums like Carpe Diem, that’s how!!! – KICKASS FOREVER
“Seemingly unable to write a bad album even if their lives depended on it, Saxon deliver

As a 19yr old, it is hard to find people who enjoy this kind of music, everyone is talking about rap music and pop music, and I'm just there in the corner listening to stuff like this. I want to try my hand at making music, and if I can actually do it, I'll do everything I can do to bring the sprit of heavy metal and rock n roll into the modern times, because this is some good music
-
Saxon has fought the good fight for what is right.......40 years of pure metal to strenghthen my loyalty........ALL HAIL SAXON!!

One of the best bands I've heard! Biff's 71 this year! And he's still (IMHO) one of the most powerful and beautifulest heavy metal voices! Wish you well! Saxon lives forever!

Probably the most exciting journey in the world of Heavy Metal. The Saxon can impress us with their abilities at every level. Unique band with characteristic sound and voice. We love the Saxon and we are lucky to hear them right now .....

I'm a 58 year old from Central PA. In the local mall I came across an album. Castle Donington Monsters of Rock. It featured 2 Rainbow songs, 2 from the Scorpions. April Wine I Like To Rock, a band called Touch Dontcha Know What Love Is. From New York Riot doin Road Racing. Then there was this 3 minute intense metal kick to the senses, Backs To The Wall by the Mighty SAXON !!! That was back in 1984. That one track led me on a mission to acquire the entire library. I even found the Best of Saxon Live 10 year VHS video. Before the internet I was traveling west to Pittsburgh to buy Saxon. I have pretty much their entire library with the last few releases I haven't purchased yet. But soon.
-
Saxon never dissapoints and biffs voice is like a fine wine one of the greatest metal vocalists of all time.
