During a recent interview with FaceCulture, Saxon frontman Biff Byford offered an update on the band’s upcoming album. According to him, the effort will be released in late 2026.
Byford said the following:
“We’re writing. I’ve started writing the new album, writing lyrics and titles. The boys have sent me loads of ideas already. So I’m just making a short list of what music we should use, what style we should play in, what songs are slow, fast, medium, good guitar riffs. So, yeah, we’re pretty far on. We’ll probably start rehearsing the new album maybe June, maybe recording in January, February. So we’ll probably have a new album out in late 2026.”
He also the following about the group’s latest album “Hell, Fire And Damnation”:
“I think it’s been a natural progression with our following and the fans with our music. Brian coming into the band added a little bit of a different dynamic to the music writing. So I think that was for a good thing. I think the new album, ‘Hellfire’, has been voted ‘Album Of The Year’ on quite a lot of sites and things, so obviously we struck a little bit of good scene with the album, a good flow. So hopefully the next one will be just as good, if not better… Well, it can’t always be better, but let’s hope. I mean, ‘Hellfire’ is gonna be hard to beat. That’s a pretty perfect album, I think.”
