Los Angeles, California-based traditional power metallers AXEHAMMER have inked a worldwide deal with Pure Steel Records. The band's new album, "Marching On", will be released in September.

AXEHAMMER has been around since the early Eighties, writing all original material.

Jerry Watt and Joe Aghassi are the original members of AXEHAMMER who have shared the stage with some of today's top metal bands, including SLAYER, MALICE, and AGENT STEEL. Bill Ramp was the original singer of AXEHAMMER that gave the band that distinctive sound. Unfortunately, Bill stepped aside due to personal health complications. Mark Stewart was his temporary replacement until Kleber Freitas became AXEHAMMER's new lead vocalist.

AXEHAMMER is:

Vocals - Kleber Mandrake
Guitar - Jerry Watt
Drums - Joe Aghassi
Bass - Horacio Colmenares
