Witch Cross are one my top favorites from the early – mid 80′s New Wave Of British Heavy Metal crop. They took the best parts of Saxon, Riot, Paul Di’anno era Iron Maiden, late 70′s Judas Priest, and made it their own. Who knew that Denmark could produce such a gem of a band. If you miss the days of mid 80′s heavy metal, then this is your wet dream come true. Too bad the band only released one album in 1984 called Fit For Fight, but man what an album it was. Not a stinker in sight.

The key ingredient to this band was lead vocalist Alex Madsen. Listening to Alex’s soaring, majestic vocals give me this strong feeling of what it would be like to ride a unicorn under a rainbow while eating a Twinkie. Truly one of the most under rated singers of the NWOBHM.

Anyways, some record label out there needs to re-release this, as you can only find it on eBay for a whopping $80. It’s worth it though. This old school 80′s metal style needs to be kept alive, so that these younger douche bag screamo bands out there know the real deal. Long may you ride Witch Cross.
