Published 5:08 pm, Wednesday, September 25, 2013
Influential British heavy-metal act is on the road promoting its latest album, “Sacrifice.” Formed in the late 1970s, Saxon established itself at major rock festivals and once stood alongside Iron Maiden and Judas Priest atop the rock heap. The legendary band is still led by singer Biff Byford and guitarist Paul Quinn, and is known for classic anthems such as “Never Surrender” and “The Bands Played On” that exemplify the fortitude and the sacrifice.
