On my conclusion for the first record I wrote this; “We didn’t want to change any of the songs too much, just play them more like Saxon,” concludes Byford, “and we also think it’s very important to have -and share with the fans- some fun in these dark times.” In October, the band announced that their next studio album would be titled Sacrifice and it was released in March 2013. [17] On 11 December 2012 Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie saw an international release and was the first Blu-ray release for the band. 2013 also saw the release of a new compilation album Unplugged and Strung Up. 2014 saw the release of a new live album named St. George's Day Sacrifice - Live in Manchester. The band also embarked on a tour in October of that year named Warriors of the Road.

It still sounds like Saxon, and that’s no small feat. When I went to see Uriah Heep last year, Biff was one of the people that wished them a happy 50 years. It makes sense that he would be a part of that celebration, and it makes sense that they should take Gypsy and sprinkle Saxon on it,

And in reality, this is the same, ok, we aren’t in the pandemic anymore, but the times are still dark. This is the equivalent of an “easy watch” on TV. Don’t overthink it, just enjoy it for what it is. In years gone by, these would have been b-sides, but “More Inspirations” is fun all the same. Following the release of "Inspirations" in 2021, "More Inspirations" is the second "deep dish" serving of the influences which have fed the mighty SAXON's immensely successful 40-plus-year career. The first single is an astonishing take on THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND's "The Faith Healer". Offiziellecharts.de – Saxon – More Inspirations" (in German). GfK Entertainment Charts.

Retrieved 26 October 2022.With all these songs, the music is performed largely like the original, with Biff making no attempt to emulate the vocalists he’s covering. Instead, he just sings like himself, which explains why many of these covers are very creditable attempts, and while More Inspirations could well be just for completists, Saxon deserve credit for introducing the music of seemingly forgotten seventies outfits like the Sensational Alex Harvey Band to a younger audience, who may not even be aware of them. What could have been an album garnering a response of ‘Why did they even bother?’ has turned out well for a band who’ve given us a successful guided tour of their birthplace.

The first single is an astonishing take on The Sensational Alex Harvey Band’s “The Faith Healer”. Of course, there’s a reason that this sounds like Saxon. And its Biff Byford. Biff’s vocals are unmistakable, and he delivers a powerful performance. When he asks, “Can I put my hands on you?” in “…Healer” it sounds a bit filthy, but in the best possible way, like a sort of David Coverdale upper class to do, The lead guitar work from Saxon guitarist Paul Quinn is top-notch (and as this is his farewell from the group, he shows what we’ll miss), and when Biff hits the high notes, it’s truly impressive. Whether this is your first dance with such classic songs, or you’ve come to see where Saxon were born, More Inspirations delivers the goods and then some.
