Axe Dragger announce debut self-titled album
AXE DRAGGER have announced a brand new album!
The heavy metal supergroup – featuring Bob Balch (FU MANCHU), Pete Campbell (ex-PENTAGRAM), Terry Glaze (original PANTERA vocalist), and Fredrik Isaksson (DARK FUNERAL) – will release their self-titled debut album on March 6th, 2026 via Ripple Music.
To mark the announcement, the band have unveiled the album’s first single, Axe Dragger, alongside a lyric video designed by Emmy-nominated motion designer DJ Summitt. The new song was first premiered via Metal Injection.
“This was the first song we wrote,” says guitarist Bob Balch. “When Pete reached out about collaborating on a metal record, those riffs came out of me moments later. The song pretty much wrote itself. I thought Terry Glaze would sound great on it, so we sent it over to him. When we both heard the vocals and lyrics, we knew we had something special. I mean – he sings the words ‘heavy metal’ in the first verse! That song lit a fire under all of us and ended up spawning the entire record. Pete then mentioned bringing in Fredrik Isaksson on bass. Fredrik absolutely killed it on that track, and at that point, the lineup was solidified. Hope you dig it!”
