About: Kick Axe

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Kick Axe is a Canadian heavy metal band from Regina, Saskatchewan. Influenced by rambunctious arena rock from the 70s and early 80s, the group is perhaps best known for their 1984 album Vices, praised by publications such as AllMusic for its "down-and-dirty guitar riffs" and notably managing to crack the American market. The band achieved moderate commercial success in the mid-1980s on the strength of the singles "Heavy Metal Shuffle", "On the Road to Rock", "With a Little Help from My Friends" and "Rock the World". Following the release of their 1986 album Rock the World, Kick Axe disbanded and remained on hiatus for many years. In 2004, they re-emerged with the album Kick Axe IV.

The band's "classic" mid-1980s lineup consisted of George Criston (vocals), Larry Gillstrom (lead guitar), Raymond Harvey (lead guitar), Brian Gillstrom (drums), and Victor Langen (bass guitar). Vocalist Criston did not return for the band's 2004 reunion, being replaced by Gary Langen, who had actually been a founding member of the band in the late 1970s. (en)
  • I Kick Axe sono una heavy metal band formata a Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada nel 1976. Il gruppo ottenne un significante impatto commerciale negli anni 80 grazie al debutto Vices (1984), prodotto da Spencer Proffer. Il successo venne dato anche dallo stesso Proffer, che, oltre ad essere stato produttore dei Black Sabbath, aveva venduto milioni di copie l'anno precedente producendo Metal Health dei Quiet Riot, il primo album nella storia dell'heavy metal a guadagnare il primo posto nelle classifiche statunitensi.

  • Kick Axe é uma banda de glam metal oriunda do Canadá cujo clímax do sucesso aconteceu nos anos oitenta. Naquele período, o grupo lançou três discos: Vices, Welcome to the Club e Rock the World. Recentemente a banda se uniu novamente e lançou seu quarto álbum, Kick Axe IV. Eles também gravaram duas músicas, sob o pseudônimo de Spectre General, que foram incluídas na trilha sonora do desenho Transformers: O Filme (1986): "Hunger" e "Nothin's Gonna Stand in Our Way". A formação original do Kick Axe era George Criston (vocal), Brian Gillstrom (bateria, percussão), Victor Langen (baixo), Larry Gillstrom (guitarra) e Raymond Harvey (guitarra). Para o novo disco, a banda retornou sem o notável George Criston, mas foi chamado novamente o vocalista original (anterior ao sucesso comercial da banda) Gary Langen. (pt)
