Saxon - 'Heavy Metal Thunder' (Live at Hellfest)

If you're talking a flight
At the speed of light
You're shaking your heads to the band
If you're there on your horse
But you're not on the force
We're taking this place to the ground

In the heat of the night
When you're fists are alight
Forged on anvils of steel
If your body's on fire
About to expire
We go to the threshold of pain

Pull your heads back
Hold your hands high
Shake your body
If it's too loud
And you're burning hot
Fill your heads with heavy metal thunder
Heavy metal thunder

On the wings of an eagle
You're hoping to fly
Holding your hands to the sky
In a blue sea of denim
Checkin' the band
With your banners and scarves held on high

If you think something more
You'll come down to the front
Don't sit there and do as they say
We're an army of thousands
Surrounded by light
Tearing this place to the ground

Pull your heads back
Hold your hands high
Shake your body
If it's too loud
And you're burning hot
Fill your heads with heavy metal thunder
Heavy metal thunder

Pull your heads back
Hold your hands high
Shake your body
If it's too loud
And you're burning hot
Fill your heads with heavy metal thunder
Heavy metal thunder

"Ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένος δίσκος θα είναι η μουσική πρόταση των Saxon για το 2025. Τιτλοφορείται "Eagles Over Hellfest" και (όπως μαρτυρά κι ο τίτλος) αφορά την εμφάνισή τους στο (περσινό) μουσικό φεστιβάλ Hellfest Summer Open Air (την τρίτη ημέρα, mainstage 2, μαζί με Bruce Dickinson, Accept, Malmsteen, Stratovarius, Rhapsody of Fire, Eternal Champion, Sumerlands και Crystal Viper).

Θα κυκλοφορήσει μεθαύριο (13 Ιουνίου 2025) σε cd, σε διπλό cd (μαζί με τον πλέον πρόσφατο δίσκο τους "Hell, Fire And Damnation"), σε (επίσης διπλό) βινύλιο και σε ψηφιακή μορφή, μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Silver Lining Music. Παρακολουθούμε, σε βίντεο, την "ζωντανή" απόδοση του ύμνου τους "Heavy Metal Thunder", τον οποίο πρωτογνωρίσαμε στον δίσκο της Βρετανικής μπάντας "Strong Arm of the Law" (το εναρκτήριο κομμάτι) που κυκλοφόρησε το μακρινό 1980...

Δελτίο τύπου: «In celebration of their majestic “Castles & Eagles” headline shows in September 2025 at the Zénith in Paris, Nantes and Toulouse, Saxon will be releasing Eagles Over Hellfest on June 13th 2025, via Silver Lining Music.
