Saxon unleash the video for There’s Something In Roswell, the second single from the band’s 24th studio album, Hell, Fire And Damnation out this week via Silver Lining Music.
Hell, Fire And Damnation sees the band investigate all areas of history and mystery amidst ten of their most confident and thunderously powerful songs and ‘There’s Something In Roswell’ is a true treasure amidst the jewels, with the sort of expansive groove and embrace which deserves arenas. The track is about the enigmatic events surrounding the 1947 crash of an assumed Army weather balloon in Roswell New Mexico, referred to as ‘The Roswell incident’.

It’s been around for years and years, and it’s just what the song says: there must be something in Roswell because there’s too much hoorah about it stillâ€, lead singer and founder-member Biff Byford explains. I like the tune as well, I think it harks back to ‘80s Saxon musically, a really good bridge between the classic Dallas 1 PM era and ‘Saxon 2023’.

Musically, Saxon bring it all to the table. There’s a furious tribute to actual heavy metal in the denim & leather coated super-sprint “Fire And Steelâ€, a wonderful nod to the NWOBHM’s birth in the electric mid-pace ‘Pirates Of The Airwaves’ and the glorious frenetic assault of the title track ‘Hell, Fire And Damnation’
