Vocalist Biff Byford of British heavy metal legends Saxon has revealed to RockAAA that the band’s next project will see Saxon collaborating with Polish Philharmonic Orchestra to give some of the group’s most popular songs an orchestral overhaul. The entire event will be filmed for a DVD and a documentary will be made featuring behind-the-scenes footage of the preparations for the big concert.
“We’re going to do a show with an orchestra next year in Warsaw,” Biff said. “The guy who runs the Philharmonic Orchestra asked us to do and we fancied it as we have a quite few songs which are scored to orchestra, like ‘Call To Arms’ on the new album and we’ve just done ‘Crusader’ with an orchestra which sounds fantastic, so it will be a bit unplugged and a bit orchestra and a bit if heavy metal, too
