The band latest video clip, for the song "Call To Arms", will be premiered this Friday, August 5 at noon EST on AOL's Noisecreep.

It's been 35 years since SAXON's inception, and the group can still easily hold its own with the headbanging competition.

"It's important to keep one foot in the past and one foot very much in the present," says singer Biff Byford. "At some points in your life, whether you're younger or older, you do have these wonderful periods of state of graceness' where everyone likes everything you write. But you can't keep being your own tribute band, you have to try and write great new songs, and you have to try to appeal to a younger audience. SAXON has been successfully doing that for the last decade, and the result is we still have our old fan base but we also have a whole new, younger one too."
