A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by John Tucker: Timing is everything. Elixir arrived right at the tail end of the NWOBHM party, releasing their first single 'Treachery' in 1985 when things were pretty much over 'n' done with. Which is a great shame. Had they come together a couple of years earlier a band of their talent and self-belief could easily have made a bigger name for themselves at a time when the UK was seemingly producing all the best metal music. After two albums and a messy split it looked like Elixir's entry in the book of metal was complete, but then the band's 'proper' line-up of vocalist Paul Taylor, guitarists Norman Gordon and Phil Denton and the Dobbs Brothers Kevin (bass) and Nigel (drums) re-united following a get-together at Stormin' Norman's birthday bash in 2001 and the rest, as they say, is history. http://ping.fm/TxLoR
