Kick Axe not only plays music for headbangers, they deserve that term themselves as they keep banging their heavy-metal head against a brick wall with their third release. The Canadian group covers all the heavy-rock bases.
There's a song title with the word 'rock' in it, various murky mythical musings (Warrior, Devachan, Medusa, etc.) and a track that celebrates such icons as Deep Purple and Jimi Hendrix. No stereotypical stone is left unturned.
But you have to wonder about a band whose best material is always a cover song. Last time out it was a Beatles' tune and now it's Fleetwood Mac's The Chain - all of which makes Kick Axe a great bar band.
