AXEHAMMER „Windrider ”

Band: Axehammer
Origin: USA
Music: Heavy/Power Metal
Tracks:10 tracks

Another great band that my ear enjoys after Iron Maiden, Manowar. AXEHAMMER’s account not that partied with ‘many’ albums yet these folks are pretty specialized.

Listening to them, it gives you the sense of that you want to hear “Manowar” out of them. Mark (the vocal) he has nothing to do with Eric Adams (Manowar Vocals) yet you want to hear Eric in Mark’s voice. Neither do the other musicians resemble manowar but you feel them inside their playing. Lyrical, of course about war, and standing up to fight for the soul…more Viking thing.

Musically, Jerry (guitars) is a pretty comprehensive guitarist. He plays with such perfectionist and mood fingers. He is blessed. The drummer of course doesn’t need mentioning…his playing speaks for him. Fast, professional, and amazing.

It’s hard for me to pick one favorite track since they are all great. But I would recommend, “Stand Up and Fight”, “Rise Up”, “Windrider” and “Back for Vengeance”

I wish I can see more of this band…they are really great. Fans of Manowar and Iron Maiden…check this band out…
