     It's often the case with artists that they produce their best
     work when they are most under the most pressure. For Kick Axe
     this theory proved to be true when they unexpectedly found
     themselves cast adrift from their American label Pasha
     Records. It was a tough pill to swallow at first, but with the
     support of their Canadian label CBS the band lived on to not
     only fight another day but also to deliver their most
     accomplished record.

     The Vancouver based quintet had made strong inroads into the
     world of hard rock and metal over the previous years, but had
     failed to connect on a commercial level. Their brand of tough
     muscular rock secured them a firm and committed following but
     various factors had prevented them from developing their
     unique abilities. The recording of 'Rock The World' showed
     that they could not only write great material but also refine
     their style of grandiose hard rock to reach its full
     potential.

     Issued in 1986, the record featured ten superlative tracks;
     from short sharp red hot rock to captivating widescreen epics
     such as 'We Still Remember', 'Magic Man' and 'Warrior', all
     emblazoned with grandiose arrangements yet offering a firm
     power metal foundation. The production, handled by the band,
     is crisp and tight, giving no indication that they were forced
     to record the album on a shoestring budget. Truly, this is one
     of the rock world's best kept secrets, deserving of a place in
     any discerning collection.
