Into the Labyrinth is the eighteenth studio album by British heavy metal band Saxon, which was released on 9 January 2009. The album was made in between Saxon tours in 2008 and written by the band in England and at Biff Byford's house in France. The first single "Live to Rock" was released on 17 October 2008. The album sold about 1,000 copies in the US in the week after its release.
A proper physical fourteenth track is featured on the Japanese CD pressing, released on 3 February 2009. Prior to 3 February, the track was only sold as a compressed/lower bit rate download.
The song "Coming Home" is originally from Saxon's Killing Ground album, in an electric version.
In November 2008, it was officially announced that the band would hold the 'Riff King' competition, where fans could play a solo for their single "Live to Rock".
All lyrics written by Biff Byford; all music composed by Biff Byford, Doug Scarratt, Paul Quinn, Nigel Glockler, Timothy Carter.
