Released on the Roadrunner label, this little gem may well have confused or fooled a few metallers seeking darker desires. Although the sleeve artwork isn't the greatest, it does appear to advertise a solid, possibly sinister metal record, and the band's name could also provide images of evil witchery, but instead we get a consistent metal record not too heavy on the evil, but certainly stirring the cauldron. Witchcross are Danish rockers, fronted by Alex Savage who certainly knows how to scream above the wail of the guitars and thunder drums. Imagine a slightly more cutting edge Heavy Load, because this is true metal, blessed with some true metal masterpieces. 'Killer Dogs' and Axe Dance' being my fave torch bearers. Strike a light and blaze a trail for Witchcross.
7.5/10
