Saxon are definitely not in the mood for rest. British heavy metal legends have commenced the songwriting process for their upcoming studio album (23rd) and the follow-up to their 2018' Thunderbolt effort. Vocalist Biff Byford spoke about the band's upcoming activities during an interview with 4Sound at this month's Sweden Rock Festival.

Byford states: "We've got a 40th-anniversary album coming out, a live album. And it's got 40 songs on it. One of our big hits is called "747", so it's a huge package and there's only 747 copies. It's a great, great release. And we're just writing a few songs now for the next album, next Saxon album. I just finished recording my solo album, so I'll be coming back to Sweden with that next year, I think, touring on that."
