SAXON kicked off 2015 with the re-release of two classic collections, each covering significant career highlights as well as offering something new in their 2015 versions. The re-release of their greatest hits albumHeavy Metal Thunder made its market re-entry together with a brand new bonus CD, Live At Bloodstock, in addition to re-issue of The Saxon Chronicles, a double-disc DVD which now also includes a bonus CD titled Rock\u2019n\u2019Roll Gypsies 1989 Live.<\/p>\n

Now, SAXON is making another big announcement for this spring \u2013 the British heavy metal legends will embark on a nine-date U.S. tour, dubbed the \u201cWarriors of the Road\u201d tour, beginning in May. The run includes support from Armored Saint on most dates, and also includes select one-off dates with Judas Priest. The tour kicks off in New York City at BB Kings on May 12th and features a stop at Rock On The Range. The tour closes in Los Angeles, CA at the House of Blues on May 30th.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to the US tour in May,\u201d states vocalist Biff Byford. \u201cWe\u2019ll be playing some shows with the mighty Judas Priest and with Armored Saint. The last time we toured with them was 1981, I think. Rock On The Range looks like a great line up too \u2013 I can’t wait to get on stage and fill your heads with Heavy Metal Thunder! Bring it on!\u201d<\/p>\n
