Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

NWOBHM band ELIXIR released their fifth studio album entitled All Hallows Eve on October 31st on the CTR label. The album features the line-up that recorded the acclaimed The Son of Odin album: Paul Taylor on vocals, Stormin' Norman Gordon and Phil Denton on guitars, Kevin Dobbs on bass and Nigel Dobbs on drums.

Phil Denton remarked, "We recorded ourselves this time, which gave us a lot more freedom to experiment and get things sounding how we wanted them to be. We have some killer songs, and can't wait to get out there and perform them live."

Tracks include the 14 minute epic 'Samhain', 'The Pagan Queen', 'Daughters of the Moon', 'The Spell', 'You're Not Fooling Me', 'All Hallows Eve' and 'Midnight Messiah' - performed live at Hard Rock Hell III and described in a recent edition of Classic Rock Magazine by writer Geoff Barton as a "soaring anthem".

The band worked in collaboration with artist Duncan Storr, who's artwork has graced many covers including HAWKWIND's Chronicles album, and Elixir's Lethal Potion.

"We worked closely with Duncan to get a great album cover that suitably reflects the theme of the new album" says Phil.
