Saxon - 'Black Is The Night' (official music video)

In the land of the white bear
Coldest place under the sun
The ocean is freezing
Days of the darkness begun
Winter is coming
Daylight is slipping away
It's the end of the sunrise
Shadows will cover the day

Feel the darkness closing in
Twenty-four hours a day
Black, black is the night
Black, black is the night

On top of the ice cap
Temperatures drop well below
The blizzards are howling
Driving the ice and the snow
A fight for survival
Only the strong will remain
Shelter for warmth
Till the sunlight will comе back again

The sun is gone, therе's only night
Twenty-four hours a day
Black, black is the night

Frozen white kingdoms
Stretching out into the nights
The heavens are dancing
Glittering northern lights
A blanket of stars
Spreading out over the sky
On the top of the world
Sometimes you live or you die

Feel the darkness closing in
Twenty-four hours a day
Black, black is the night
Black black is the night

Black is the night

«Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero» μας λέει ο Ρωμαίος λυρικός ποιητής του 1ου αιώνα πΧ Οράτιος στο ενδέκατο ποίημα του πρώτου βιβλίου των Ωδών. Carpe diem, άδραξε την ημέρα. Έτσι ονομάζεται και το νέο δισκογραφικό πόνημα των Saxon, το οποίο κυκλοφόρησε στις αρχές του έτους. Παρακολουθούμε το μουσικό βίντεο του τραγουδιού "Black Is The Night"...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Life hath no fury like a legend in full roar... and Saxon show just that to the world with the release of their 23rd studio album, Carpe Diem, through Silver Lining Music, serving notice to anyone who ever felt otherwise that they remain both vanguards and masters of British Metal.

Comprised of 10 titanic tracks bristling with steel-clad riffery and proud intent, the Barnsely (UK) born band draw on a variety of ingredients from their career to forge what is their most dynamic release in many a year.

"It all starts with the riff,” says front man and co-founder Biff Byford, "if the riff speaks to me, then we’re on our way. It’s a very intense album, and that’s all down to the fact that the essence of a great metal song is the riff that starts it, and this album has loads of them."

Produced by Andy Sneap (Judas Priest, Exodus, Accept) at Backstage Recording Studios in Derbyshire with Byford and Sneap mixing and mastering, Carpe Diem strikes the ear as one of the most essential British metal statements of the last few years and not lacking in pace or bite, an album which will ignite the joy in stalwart supporters and attract a whole new legion to the Saxon fold.

Despite a career which has spanned 44 years with over 15 million albums sold, including four top 10 UK albums, and having played to hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide, Saxon are revving up for one of their busiest eras yet.»
