Saxon Begin Recording New Album

(Classic Rock) Saxon have begun recording sessions for their 22nd album, frontman Biff Byford has revealed. He's posted a picture of the band in a studio with returning producer Andy Sneap, who worked on 2013's Sacrifice and last year's Battering Ram.

Byford explains: "As usual the brakes don't work, so we're not slowing down!" He adds that, so far, the record is "sounding great."

Earlier this year the veteran vocalist said he wasn't bothered about reaching the age of 65. He told Classic Rock: "I don't dwell on it. Some of my friends have hit 40 and they're freaking. Big deal!

"But when you get to this age you can't drink loads of booze and take loads of drugs and expect to bounce back from it. You can easily slip away in that state. You have to stay fit. I ride my bike every day, three or four miles, sometimes eight." Read more here.
