Kick Axe Canada
Biography
Full-throttle Canadian metal band Kick Axe achieved an ultimately brief but rambunctious burst of popularity in the 80s upon the release of their debut album 'Vices'. That 1984 album was produced by impresario Spencer Proffer, who had also been behind Quiet Riot's multi-million selling smash 'Metal Health'. As remarked by critic Steve Huey, Kick Axe's work "was a milestone in the history of Canadian heavy metal... offering a batch of solidly written and exuberantly performed songs".
