Saxon have premiered a new video for their song “Fire And Steel.” This track is from the band’s latest album “Hell, Fire And Damnation.” Biff Byford commented:
“The original title was ‘Fire And Steam’ and the song itself is more thrash than classic metal. I was going to do it about something else, and then I had a bit of an epiphany and I thought ‘Fire And Steel’ was better. ‘Let’s do it about Sheffield.’ If people were eating with a knife and fork back, say, a hundred years ago, that was something that sometimes was made in Sheffield. They invented stainless steel there, and there’s still a lot of steel in Sheffield but nothing like it used to be. Sheffield was one of my big stomping grounds when I was a teenager. We used to go to Sheffield and see all the bands at Sheffield City Hall, and the clubs and pubs there that had bands on.”
