In a YouTube post shared by the record label, the Axe Dragger members revealed the inspiration behind their new song.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018Axe Dragger’ was the first song we wrote,\u201d Balch shared, adding, \u201cWhen ex-PENTAGRAM drummer Minnesota Pete Campbell reached out to me about collaborating on a metal record, those riffs came out of me moments later. The song pretty much wrote itself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moreover, the guitarist highlighted Glaze\u2019s expertise and expressed how thrilled they were for his involvement in the song.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought Terry Glaze (ex-PANTERA) 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\u2014he sings the words \u201cheavy metal\u201d in the first verse! Haha,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Basically, Axe Dragger\u2019s debut song has inspired them to create an entire album and helped finalize the band\u2019s lineup.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat song lit a fire under all of us and ended up spawning the entire record. Pete then mentioned bringing in Fredrik Isaksson from Dark Funeral on bass. Fredrik absolutely killed it on that track, and at that point the lineup was solidified,\u201d the former Fu Manchu member said.<\/p>\n
With the first song out in the open, the new supergroup is scheduled to release their self-titled debut album on March 6.<\/p>\n
\u201cAxe Dragger\u201d is Glaze\u2019s first band release in 17 years, following the 2008 track \u201cPorn Again\u201d with Lord Tracy.<\/p>\n
Prior to this, he cemented his name in the heavy metal music scene in the \u201880s as one of the founding members of the iconic group Pantera alongside late drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott, the late guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott, Tommy Bradford and Donnie Hart.<\/p>\n
After leaving Pantera, Glaze<\/a> formed Lord Tracy in 1986, which later disbanded in 1991. Despite the band\u2019s breakup, they managed to reunite and perform a series of reunion shows in the early 2000s, which led to the release of new songs and videos.<\/p>\nIn 2017, Glaze revived his solo career with the release of his track \u201cFind Me a Woman,\u201d marking his first widely released solo work in decades. This was followed by another song release in 2018, \u201cLike a Snake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before joining Axe Dragger, he released his most recent solo single, \u201cPsyche,\u201d<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\nRelated: Iconic \u201880s Heavy Metal Band Delivers Unexpected Christmas Treat<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nThis story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on Dec 20, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
