Here´s a bit of News, the album is in the billboard charts in the US, fantastic. Just finished production rehearsals, starting in Paris on Sunday, hope the show is ok and not affected by the troubles. Even more news, just shot a new video for “Battalions of Steel” and last but not least, we have a song on a big video game, coming out soon, can´t say anymore it´s a hush, hush. Just like to say a big thank you to everybody at Rock Shop in Karlsruhe, for looking after us, is a fantastic place to work in. Thanks to all the Staff for helping us to shoot the video.
Apparemment ils avaient peur des grèves à Paris et une de leur chansons figurera sur un jeu vidéo

Une video pour le dernier opus et la rentrée dans les Charts:
SAXON recently shot a video for the song "Battalions Of Steel". The track comes off the band's latest album, "Into The Labyrinth", which sold around 1,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD debuted at No. 29 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
"Into The Labyrinth" has registered the following first-week chart positions in Europe:
The CD was recorded at the Twilight Hall in Krefeld, Germany, under the direction of Charlie Bauerfeind. SAXON laid down 13 new songs at BLIND GUARDIAN's studio, starting with monumental opener "Battalions Of Steel" through "Demon Sweeney Todd" and "Valley Of The Kings", which both cover historic events, to the final slide guitar blues track "Coming Home" (fans are already familiar with the electric version of this track from SAXON's "Killing Ground" album).
"Live To Rock", the latest video from SAXON, can be viewed below. The clip was helmed by Aestheticom's Bill Schacht, who has previously directed music videos for DIO, KING DIAMOND, AMON AMARTH, FATAL SMILE, LIBERTY X/REV RUN, ZAKK WYLDE and SISTER SIN, among others.

En tout cas, l'album passe super bien en live. En studio ça reste un excellent cru, même si quelques morceauxsont dispensables
