AXE CRAZY "Angry Machines" – Limited Vinyl Edition - release date: February 26th

The release date of the AXE CRAZY album „Angry Machines“ on limited vinyl is February 26th, 2016. The pre-order phase will start on February 12th, 2016 in the webshop. Limited to 200 vinyl copies Pure Steel will re-release the AXE CRAZY debut EP „Angry Machines“ (2014) through Pure Underground Records. Like the name – borrowed by the self titled single of Jaguar from 1982 – already suggests, the quintet from Poland has committed themselves to the spirit of the glorious, early days of NWoBHM. On four songs, they enlarge the Metal underground with majestic twin guitar leads, rapid, but tight doublebass drumming and melodic, powerful high pitched vocals. References like the eponyms, early Maiden stuff and a decent dose of early US Metal always can be perceived. But still, AXE CRAZY sent up an adolescent briskness, that can’t be found very often nowadays. Traditional, stainless steel at its best: With AXE CRAZY no frequenter of festivals like Keep It True and Headbangers Open Air will be disappointed. TRACKLISTING Side A 1. Angry Machines 2.
