Final Axe
Alive X 2 (Video)
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Four crunchin' tunes grace this video, which shows better lit footage than the Metal Meltdown video. "Vengeance Is Mine" and "Don't Run Away" are the two live cuts. Bill Menchen's leads sound really good on "Don't Run Away". The other two songs, "Rated X" and "Heads Will Roll", are conceptual, which feature live footage thrown in with crazy and fun footage shot outside. The audio portion comes from the band's studio recording, so it's punchin' pretty loud. Overall, this video is pretty underground, public-access kind of material, which would've blown people away ten years ago, but now looks out-budgeted by today's standards. A necessary purchase for Final Axe fans.
