Myself and Guitarist Mike Koch talk about the band reforming, touring, and the new album ‘Axe to Grind’ – out now on Hells Headbangers Records as a CD, on itunes or as a 12″ LP in a choice of blue or black vinyl. Just click on the album image below the video to visit Hell’s Headbangers’ shop.
In two weeks I’ll be heading to London to meet up with my songwriting partner and Witch Cross guitarist Mike Koch to put down the final vocal tracks for our forthcoming album, scheduled for release in the Spring through Hell’s Headbangers. It’s an exciting time – we have a fabulous legendary name with an enviable metal pedigree doing the mixing for us at the end of January – Little John is finishing up his bass lines in Denmark, and my son Corey has the task of recording some ‘special contributions’ for the album. We’re really stoked about this project, from the songs and the performances, to the guest artists and the killer artwork for the cover!
Little John gets my attention…..
2013 is all set to be a busy year for Witch Cross, as we aim to play songs old and new across Europe in support of the album – Look out for us on the road!
Here’s a couple of shots from our recent UK gig. It was the debut for our new backdrop, featuring our new logo that I designed recently. For the musos among you, I’m playing my recently-acquired Music Man Bongo bass. When this model came out, I didn’t like it at all, but the shape kinda grew on me, and this particular version – the ‘Stealth’ is a real beauty. It feels like I’ve been playing it for years! I leave this one in the UK, because ‘economy’ airlines charge more to fly my bass than to fly me! In fact, if you want to hear me ranting about flying, check out my Want Some Moore?! site – where you can hear my recent broadcast for Spain’s BayRadio.

Nevertheless, he appeared on Graham Oliver’s solo album End of an Era returning the favour after Oliver had appeared on Tubeless Hearts Three CD. READ MORE….
