AXE - Nemesis (1983)
1983 was a year full of classic Metal releases. So, some great albums were unlucky enough to remain in the twilight. One of them was "Nemesis". This is their fourth album and the band from Florida sounds a little confused! They switch easily from Molly Hatchetish strong and fast Heavy Metal to keybord filled AOR with great ease from track to track. The songwriting is great (although a few fillers do exist) the vocals are fine and finally I'm still surprised how AXE didn't join the League of Rock Legends with this one. There are two main reasons: Their label had other priorities that year and the majority of fans could not the digest this Heavy Metal-meets-AOR hybrid. If you come across "Nemesis" please give it a second chance. It deserves it.
