Saxon have premiered a lyric video for their song “The Secret Of Flight.” This track is from the band’s latest album “Thunderbolt.” Classic Rock debuted the clip and offered the following description of the song:
The song retells the story of flight via the medium of heavy metal thunder, taking in all points from Icarus’s disastrous approach to the sun, via the Wright Brothers, to the dropping of the bomb. There’s even time for a short physics lesson.
Biff Byford said the following:
“2018 is turning out to be another monumental year for Saxon. After storming across the North America with the Thunderbolt tour, we are releasing The Secret Of Flight from the album as the new single & video.”
“Being in a touring band we fly a lot. So I was sat on a plane one day, thinking that – in the big scheme of things – we didn’t discover how to fly until quite recently in man’s history, in 1903. That’s only 115 years ago.”
“I thought it would make a good subject, so there you go…. the secret of flight!”
“The track has already proven to be a live monster song so as we are half way through the year’s tour schedule. It’s apt that we release it now. With that in mind, we would also like to share the following up-to-date stats with you all.”
