Vocalist Biff Byford (along with guitarist Paul Quinn) has steered the ship since band’s formation in late 1970’s and they are still going strong. The frontman and his cohorts have just issued their 19th studio album “Call To Arms,” which reaches back to the classic days of heavy metal while still retaining the harder edge Saxon have attained in their latest decade together. At the Sauna Open Air heat, Biff sat down with Steel Mill to talk about the current record, days of the first Monster Of Rock festival in 1980, 70 000 tons of metal- cruise and steam trains.
