ELIXIR is a cult NWOBHM act from the 80's London, U.K. Any die-hard NWOBHM (or U.K. metal) fan will recall their 1986 release "The Son Of Odin" as being one of the most underrated albums of its style and era.
Elixir was formed in London in 1983, when Phil Denton (guitars) joined brothers Kevin Dobbs (bass) and Nigel Dobbs (drums).
Vocalist Paul Taylor and guitarist Norman Gordon completed the line–up in 1984.
Elixir toured extensively throughout the U.K. in 1985, pausing only to release their first single, the now highly-collectable "Treachery (Ride Like The Wind)", in July.
