EPIC ANNOUNCES: Saxon Announces New Album “Back on Speed” and 2025 World Tour, A Heavy Metal Assault Awaits.

British heavy metal icons Saxon have announced their return with a brand-new album and an explosive world tour set for 2025. The legendary band, fronted by the charismatic Biff Byford, is ready to deliver a powerful blend of old-school heavy metal and new material that promises to stay true to the sound that has made them a cornerstone of the genre for over four decades.

The new album, titled *Steel Phoenix*, is slated for release in early 2025. According to Byford, the album will be a mix of “classic Saxon riffs, roaring anthems, and some of the heaviest tracks we’ve ever written.” Fans of the band’s hallmark sound, with its hard-hitting riffs and soaring vocals, can expect a powerful, energetic addition to Saxon’s discography. The band’s previous release, *Carpe Diem* (2022), was met with high praise, and the anticipation for *Steel Phoenix* is through the roof as Saxon looks to continue their legacy of producing timeless metal music.

In addition to the album, Saxon has also unveiled plans for a 2025 world tour, where they will bring their new material to stages across Europe, North America, and beyond. The tour, dubbed the “Phoenix Rising World Tour,” is expected to feature an extensive setlist with a mix of their latest songs and classic hits like “Denim and Leather,” “Wheels of Steel,” and “Crusader.” Fans can also look forward to elaborate stage production and the intense energy that Saxon delivers during their live performances.

Biff Byford expressed his excitement about the tour, stating, “We’re ready to hit the road again and bring our fans the music they love with even more fire. The new album is something we’re really proud of, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

With their signature brand of heavy metal, Saxon remains a dominant force in the genre, and the *Steel Phoenix* album and tour are set to solidify their place as metal legends for years to come. Ticket sales and album pre-orders are expected to open soon, so fans should stay tuned for further announcements!
