MySpace a place for friends

Where would rock stars be without their little secrets? The legendary history of a band, the magic of their music, and the depth of their lyrics - all this is part of the fascination that a successful act such as Saxon exudes. Naturally, the band members keep the very private moments of their lives to themselves, but their current album, The Inner Sanctum, allows an honest insight into the rather unusual working process that went into the new songs. “The past 12 months were undeniably the most successful year in our career to date, so we knew that it would be a good idea to start collecting ideas and write the songs early,” comments vocalist Biff Byford. “All through the last summer, we used the weekdays between the festival weekends to concentrate on working on our albums. We hired rehearsal rooms in Germany, Spain and England, where we ensconced ourselves for three days during the week, before travelling to the next festival. We’d never gone about things this way before, but as you can see it worked.”
