Inspired by the terrifying Gorgon of Greek mythology, whose gaze could turn mortals to stone, ‘Medusa’ strikes with a killer riff and classic heavy metal power. With Biff Byford’s unmistakable vocals leading the charge, Saxon bring the ancient legend roaring to life with a sound that hits like a bolt from the gods themselves.

“A step into the world of Greek mythology ‘Medusa’, a god who could turn you to stone with a glance! Epic metal, epic story!

To celebrate the single’s release, Saxon have launched a competition to win a signed guitar themed around ‘Medusa’. The single’s artwork was once again created by acclaimed artist Peter Sallai. Official ‘Medusa’ merchandise is also available.

With ‘Medusa’ landing today, anticipation for Saxon’s forthcoming album and 2027 Gods of Thunder – World Tour is reaching fever pitch. The band have now revealed that legendary Los Angeles heavy metal veterans, Armored Saint, will join them as special guests for the UK and Ireland leg of the tour, bringing together two powerhouse names in heavy metal for an unmissable run of shows.

“We’re bringing the gods of thunder tour across to Europe, it’s gonna be awesome! Can’t wait to open the heavens and bring on the metal.” says Biff Byford.
