Fri, 05 Dec 2025 20:28:13 +0000

The official lyric video from Saxon for the track ‘They Played Rock And Roll’ from the upcoming new album “Thunderbolt”, out February 2nd. Available to pre-order here: http://hyperurl.co/6j93n2 where you can get an immediate download and stream of the songs “Thunderbolt” and “They Played Rock And Roll”.

“The song tells the story of Saxon's very first tour in 1979 with Motörhead. I want people to get a flavour of what it was like in the UK in 79/80 for Saxon and Motörhead at the start of the 80s musical revolution" says Biff Byford.

The band will be embarking on the first leg of the Thunderbolt 2018 European Tour. SAXON will be joined by fellow English rockers DIAMOND HEAD and metal trio ROCK GODDESS will be performing on the scheduled UK dates, with very Special Guests MAGNUM on the already sold out UK Hull date only.
