The Mighty SAXON stellen ein Video zu ihrem Track `Fire And Steel´ vom aktuellen „Hell, Fire And Damnation“ Langdreher vor. Erst vor wenigen Tagen hatten die NWoBHM Legenden SAXON ihre “Hell, Fire & Steel“ Europa Tour für das Frühjahr 2025 angekündigt.
Frontmann Biff Byford erklärt über den Song:
“The original title was ‘Fire and Steam’ and the song itself is more thrash than classic metal. I was going to do it about something else, and then I had a bit of an epiphany and I thought ‘Fire And Steel’ was better let’s do it about Sheffield. If people were eating with a knife and fork back, say, a hundred years ago, that was something that sometimes was made in Sheffield. They invented stainless steel there, and there’s still a lot of steel in Sheffield but nothing like it used to be. Sheffield was one of my big stomping grounds when I was a teenager. We used to go to Sheffield and see all the bands at Sheffield City Hall, and the clubs and pubs there that had bands on.”

Lyrics:
Feeding the furnace melting the iron
Crushing and grinding and smelting the steel
Steaming and sweating the fruits of their labour
The best in world it’s called Sheffield steel
Flames flying into the night
Searing white heat blinding light
Fire and steel
Made this mighty city
Fire and steel
Forged by working hands
Fire and steel
Red hot and heavy
Fire and steel
The finest in the land
White hot and molten flowing like lava
Bending and shaping and pounding the iron
Lifting and shifting the weight of the city
Shipping and moving their steel cross the world
Man and machine never stop
Forging the steel round the clock
Fire and steel
Made this mighty city
Fire and steel
Forged with working hands
Fire and steel
Red hot and heavy
Fire and steel
The finest in the land
The sound of the city, the crashing of metal
Blending the iron to make into steel
Using the science first with the knowledge
A great Northern city leading the world
Flames flying into the night
Searing white heat blinding light
Fire and steel
Made this mighty city
Fire and steel
Forged with Yorkshire hands
Fire and steel
Red hot and heavy
Fire and Steel
The greatest in the land
