Album Info
This CD was originally recorded in 1990, but never released. After the 2005 re-release of Beyond Hell's Gate, Retroactive Records decided to release "The Axe Of The Apostles" in 2006 (remixed and remastered).
Some might say that with "The Axe Of The Apostles", Final Axe has captured heavyweight status by showcasing their catchiest, most accessible set of tunes available yet. Even while retaining the precision guitar assault and the quasi-Rob Halford vocals, the band proves they are masters at being melodic, without losing any of their intensity and edge. In true metal form, The Axe of the Apostles rarely gives you a chance to come up for air, displaying a real penchant for stadium ready anthems. Drums are handled by Christian metal icon, Robert Sweet (Stryper), whose busy, virtuosic rhythmic base pushes Bill Menchen (guitar) and Simon Tyler (vocals) to their most energetic and impassioned performance of their considerable careers. With The Axe of the Apostles, Final Axe provide us an album that truly towers above pretenders as the genuine article of heavy metal greatness.
Mastered By – Rob Colwell
Bill Menchen (Titanic, Rev Seven, Redeemer, The Seventh Power, Menchen) - Guitars/Bass/Keyboards
