British metal legends Saxon have dropped a new video for "Hammer of the Gods," the latest single from their "Call to Arms" album, and the video, along with a "making of" piece have been uploaded to YouTube. Check out the two clips below.
"Call To Arms," meanwhile, just hit stores this week in Europe on Militia Guard Music. Frontman Biff Byford called the album the best the band has recorded in twenty years in a recent interview. The band also recruited 79 of its fans to some in and sing on the song, "Back In '79," thanks to a brainstorm Byford had the night before the track was recorded.
"We put something up on our website 24 hours before recording the track in Brighton, and funnily enough we had exactly 79 people show up on time to sing on the song. It was a fantastic result which is a direct tribute to 'Denim & Leather' where we did the same exact thing."
There is also a guest appearance from legendary Rainbow, Deep Purple, Ozzy Osbourne keyboardist Don Airey on the set.
