Axe Victims, pioneers of German metal formed in 1982 in Wuppertal, finally unveil their lost second album, Hypnotized, forty years after its creation. Due to label issues, the album was never released but picks up where Another Victim left off, with a mid-80s sound blending Saxon, Priest, Accept and Def Leppard. Produced with engineer Glenn Pocorny, it retains all the energy and charm of classic heavy metal. Now reunited, the band celebrates this release with concerts planned for 2026, confirming the timeless impact of their heavy 80s sound.
