[@grzegorzkozik6460]

Oczywiście . Bif nie zawodzi 💪

[@sympathyforthedevil1553]

Frontman Johan Hegg says of this track; Obviously, we had to ask Saxon to be on a song called “Saxons and Vikings,” so we’ve got Biff Byford singing on this with me, and then Paul [Quinn] and Doug [Scarratt] doing the solo for the song. You could say it’s the end part of The Great Heathen Army because this is where the English finally face off against the Viking army, and eventually a truce is signed where they pretty much split England in two. We wrote this as a mouth-off between the Vikings and the Saxons where they talk shit about each other before the battle, basically. Biff wrote his own parts, and I think he did such a great job.

i just discovered this band. i dont usually like vocals like this, but it has grown on me. very cool lyrics and just all around style. love this band

[@Mofos_of_Metal]

YES! I'm so glad they made a video for this one! My favourite song from the album and perhaps my favourite Metal song released in 2022! This song means even more to me because I come from Northumberland - next to the island of Lindisfarne - the place where the first Viking invasion occurred in the year 793. This song takes us back to the roots of our ancestors! Biff Byford of Saxon really makes this song extra special too - his performance is brilliant. Really looking forward to Saxon's new album next year! Metal Legends formed in the 70s and still going strong!

[@samemain9999]

Incredible song. This fight of viocals is something special.

[@deutscher1a]

I actually thought this song would be about the german roots of paganism at first Saxons are german, we still have 3 states called saxon(sachsen), and the "german tyr" is called saxlot(old german for sword brother) But the song focusing on anglo-saxons makes sense

[@11alpha48]

@@deutscher1a Technically, Thüringen is also mostly Saxon, since it is made up of Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach, Sachsen-Gotha, Sachsen-Meiningen, Sachsen-Altenburg and parts of Prussian Saxony, along with Reuß and Schwarzburg.

I became a fan of Saxon with Strong Arm of the Law, a fan of Amon Amarth with The Avenger. Both of these bands have been a cornerstone of my love for metal in all its varied forms. This pairing is just such a natural fit and to see Johan and Biff on the same battlefield . . . My goodness. what a treat. Great song from an awesome album and a wonderful guest contribution from the boys in Saxon. Thank you to both bands for making my life so much more pleasant with such raw, heartfelt and true metal music. May peace and prosperity be upon all those in both bands, all involved with the recording and video and all they hold dear. Horns up!

I remember Saxon from when I was in college...so long ago...still kickin! Great song, great video.

Man this is some awesome shit. Haven't played a track on repeat that often since 'Death in Fire'. This one is extra special since it works so perfectly together with Saxon, lyrics, solos and all.
