AxeWound, Vultures (2012)


Hello all,

Today, I am briefly looking at the first album from British-Canadian supergroup AxeWound titled Vultures. The band consists of singer Liam Cormier from Cancer Bats, guitarist Matt Tuck from Bullet For My Valentine, guitarist Mike Kingswood from Glamour of the Kill, bassist Joe Copcutt from Rise to Remain, and drummer Jason Bowld from Pitchshifter.

Their sound blends aspects of several sub-genres of heavy metal from grindcore, thrash, power metal and groove metal. Lead vocalist Liam Cormier does an excellent job of combining clean vocals with a variety of growls and screams. For an initial release, the album can be considered a success. The first single from this release is titled, "Exorchrist." I loved this song, so I downloaded the entire album (legally), and thought the album was pretty good.

Some of the high spots on the album include "Exorchrist," "Vultures," and "Collide."

I give this album a grade of B+.

Here is "Exorchrist."


Thanks for reading!
Marty Sabin
