With “Kingdom Of The Night” AXXIS debuted in 1989. Considered a classic nowadays, this album was the most selling Rock debut of all times in Germany and caused high hopes for the further career. AXXIS never backed down from challenges and played the safe way: albums like “Voodoo Vibes” and “Matters Of Survival” showed totally different facets of the band, but again all what AXXIS do is high quality.
Another cornerstone of their career is without a doubt the 2001 album “Back To The Kingdom” – showing AXXIS return to their roots. Eventhough the band has in general kept the direction they still progress and bring freshness and new influences into the music. Since the “Time Machine” album guest singer Lakonia was involved in every AXXIS production, being the perfect counterpart to Bernhard Weiß.
First responsible mostly for background choirs Lakonia sang in duet with Bernhard on many songs of the last masterpiece “Paradise In Flames”. She brings a different flavour to the sound of AXXIS without sacrificing the band´s trademark sound.
Yes, AXXIS are a little heavier these days but still their fans from the first hour love them because of their super melodic and charismatic style. Known as one of the best live band for a long time AXXIS will make the ground shake on their upcoming tour with Helloween and Gamma Ray.
