Saxon team up with Amon Amarth’s Johan Hegg in Predator video

Saxon

Saxon have shared a video for their new single Predator.

The track features on their latest album Thunderbolt, which launched in February this year. The video has been released to mark the start of Saxon’s UK and European tour.

Predator features guest vocals from Johan Hegg, with the Amon Amarth frontman also appearing in the new promo which can be watched below.

Saxon singer Biff Byford says: “Great fun doing the new video for Predator. Big thanks to Johan for doing his thing on vocals with me… and much thanks to Steph Byford for making the video, hope you like it.”

Earlier this month, Saxon released a tour edition of Thunderbolt.

Along with all 11 album tracks, the special edition features the Raw Version of Nosferatu, along with two live cuts: Thunderbolt, recorded in Frankfurt in March, and Nosferatu (The Vampire’s Waltz), which was captured during Saxon’s performance in Los Angeles in April.
