Saxon, the British N.W.O.B.H.M. icons, are back with a brand-new studio album, “Gods Of Thunder”. The album, which draws inspiration from historical events, ancient mythology, horror stories and fantasy tales, plus a dose of pagan rituals, comes out on January 22, 2027 via Silver Lining Music.
You can already pre-order “Gods Of Thunder”.
