This is the fourth Off With Your Head episode, and, in this video, we take a look at the upcoming Axemaster album 'Of Beasts and Plagues'. This video has behind-the-scenes stories by Joe Sims of Axemaster himself and snippets from songs from the album.
The music in the intro is taken from "Murder of Crows" and in the houtro, you hear snippets of "Machine" and "Clinging to Life", all of which are from the upcoming album. In addition, there are snippets from the songs 'Forsaken II' and 'Kissed with a Fist'. They're all used with permission from Joe Sims of Axemaster.
The album is scheduled to be released on Cosmic Fire records, and it will be partially financed through crowdfunding (like Blaze Bayley also does). The Kickstarter campaing will stard on February 24, 2026, and you can access it here:
