Axe - Offering (CD)

AXE probably put out their best album in 1982. "Offering" with its muscles-driven rock sounds still sounds exciting today. Frontman and guitarist Bobby Barth seems to be on top of his creative output here. The remastered Rock Candy re-issue doesn't have any bonus apart from new liner notes including  a few unreleased pictures. Tracks like "Video Inspiration", "Silent Soldiers" or even the MONTROSE-Cover "I Got The Fire" are simply stunning. Let alone the guitars on this classic album shine. The sound of the best era in hard rock for sure. (MS)
