Yepp, we are still alive and well. In June 2006 we released a new 5-track MCD in 500 copies (some still available) entitled "Resurrected". It contains 4 re-recordings of old songs + one new.
A video for "Back On The Hunt" is just being finished.

We've just been signed to Lion Music and a new album, "Let The Metal Do The Talking", plus a live DVD, will be released mid next year!

The line-up features original members: Janne Stark (myself) and Kjell Jacobsson on guitars, Kenth Ericsson on bass and Kenta Svensson on dums, plus new singer Per "Periloz" Karlsson, previously with Unchained.

Cheers!
Janne

Any chance of a track list? Just to see to it that the entire never released album will be recorded this time around.

At the moment we're actually picking and choosing between all the unreleased songs we did back in the 80's. The album will be mainly songs written in that era. Some tracks that will most likely end up on the album are: "Midnight Cruiser", "Let The Metal Do The Talking", "Sinister Warfare" and "Reincarnation".

The track dream away is my favorite from swords and axes but it sort of threw me for a loop its one of the most epic sounding songs on the album but the lyrics aren't about anything epic but the vocals sound epic the only part you can really hear clearly are as follows:

"She takes my hand and we’re moving, grooving
I would really make her dream away "

"Dream away – take me away from this place"
"Dream away – dreams making scars in my face"

Well, I do agree with you on the "Dream Away" lyrics... even if the intentions were quite good

Here are the complete lyrics:

DREAM AWAY (Jacobsson - Stark)

solo - Kjell
acoustic guitar - Kjell

When I was young I used to dream away
I could sit all day long with nothing to say
In my dreams I would make it, break it
In the night I would be the ladies man
On the screen I would take ‘em, make ‘em
I would really make them dream away

I never cared for disco nights, I’ve always been the lonely one
When a girl passes by I nearly start to run
But in my dreams I would squeeze her, kiss her
In the night I would make her feel allright
She takes my hand and we’re moving, grooving
I would really make her dream away

DREAM AWAY - Takes me away from this place
DREAM AWAY - It’s making scars in my face

Now my lifetime’s ending, my hair’s turning grey
But that won’t stop my dreaming, that’ll be the day
In my dreams I’m the Black Knight, all might
Fit for fight for the poor and innocent
Warpigs fall for my swordblade, stormraid
No more wars, but it’s just a dream

Chorus

Yes all the lyrics are posted on metal archives,I was just saying that as a reference to what I was saying about the vocals not very clear but thats a good thing in my opinion because it makes it more epic.

haha... ok I get it. I actually agree. Sometimes you get a bit disappointed when you read what the lyrics are ACTUALLY about
