WITCH CROSS
Axe to Grind (CD, LP)
Hells Headbangers
9 July 2013
The cult is alive...WITCH CROSS have returned, with the fittingly titled Axe to Grind! Mastered by Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica, Morbid Angel, Blind Guardian) and mixed by Chris Tsangarides (Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, Anvil), WITCH CROSS' Axe to Grind is the revered Danish band's first full-length of all-new material since 1984's heavy metal classic Fit for Fight, reissued to widespread acclaim last year by HELLS HEADBANGERS. Picking up where they left off in the glorious '80s, WITCH CROSS nevertheless inject their trademark power & glory with a newfound urgency and grit that never betrays their roots in the ancient ways of heavy metal mayhem. Neither "old school" nor "new school," WITCH CROSS prove that the masters are back - and school's in session!
I've listened to a couple tracks from this, and I'm certain everyone here will enjoy this one. If you liked the new Satan, this has a similar old-school feel, but the music is closer to something like Saxon. I'm going to give the album a full listen sometime next week, but I would keep your eyes on this one!
