Alongside along with his bandmates Paul Quinn and Doug Scarratt, they stand in opposition to Johan Hegg and the remainder of Amon Amarth in battle.

Talking of the video and dealing with Saxon, Hegg mentioned it was a fantastic expertise for everybody concerned.

“Recording this track with the legends from Saxon was wonderful. It was such an honor to have them on this monitor, and to shoot a video with them was a lot enjoyable. I believe the video got here out nice, actually epic. It captures the essence of the track completely and the struggle scenes are superior!”
