Axetasy - 'Voidcrawler' (official visualizer video)

Meet the walking mess - you call it ‘i’
In the mirror maze
You see it’s frowning grimace
Bleed and cry

‘cause fear it rules the place
You call it ‘home’
I come to you at nights
Chanting forbidden spells in ancient tongues

From beyond the sun you summoned me
Now behold my face don’t you hide away
Just take my hand i’ll set you free

Come i’ll make you fall
Through hades’ cosmic tides
Forever dance in the blinding light
That never shined
Into the void
Voidcrawler

You’re trapped in fatal maze the walls you call ‘mind’
All corners sprawled with fear
From the ghoulish shadows drawing near

Behold our unknown force
The secrets of sleep
Will chant you through a night
Of darkness and obscured gnostic ecstasy

Mind begins to fall as time and space
Embrace the sun and disappear
Into the realms you would call ‘death’

Come i’ll make you fall
Through hades’ cosmic tides
Forever dance in the blinding light
That never shined
Yes you will fall
Into the black
Nihil awaits
The threshold is passed - one with the void

Into the abyss

Ex nihilo nihil fit

«Hailing from Stuttgart, Germany’s Axetasy formed in 2020 with influences that belied their young age - namely, the speed metal, thrash, and black metal stalwarts of the ‘80s. Not for nothing is their furious, stubbornly obscure sound stuck there: while you’re busy checking the calendar year, Axetasy have already dragged you into the insane depths of morbid ecstasy!»

Κάπως έτσι μας συστήνονται οι Γερμανοί metallers, οι οποίοι μετά από ένα demo ("Slicing Dreams" 2020) και κάποια singles είναι έτοιμοι να δουν σε κυκλοφορία τον πρώτο ολοκληρωμένο τους δίσκο. "Withering Tides" ο τίτλος, αποτελείται από εννέα τραγούδια και αναμένεται τον επόμενο μήνα (17 Ιανουαρίου 2025) σε cd, βινύλιο και ψηφιακή μορφή μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Dying Victims Productions.

Το συγκρότημα απαρτίζουν τα αδέρφια Kröner (τραγουδιστής / κιθαρίστας Johnny και ο drummer Christian) που ήταν μαζί και στους Shred Attack (οι οποίοι διαλύθηκαν το 2019, ενώ ο Johnny αποτελεί μέλος και τον Stormwitch), ο κιθαρίστας Izzy Fetch και ο μπασίστας Jaxxy Starr...

«Dying Victims Productions is proud to present Axetasy’s highly anticipated debut album, Withering Tides, on CD and vinyl LP formats. Hailing from Stuttgart, Germany’s Axetasy formed in 2020 with influences that belied their young age - namely, the speed metal, thrash, and black metal stalwarts of the ‘80s.

Not for nothing is their furious, stubbornly obscure sound stuck there: while you’re busy checking the calendar year, Axetasy have already dragged you into the insane depths of morbid ecstasy! Now, after a debut and a couple digital singles, Axetasy charge the gates of Hell with their full-length debut, Withering Tides.

After the short, scene-setting intro, Withering Tides gallops away into heavy metal heaven with a sound that’s strikingly familiar yet somehow unique - strange magick, indeed! The four youngsters of Axetasy soon prove their mettle with a straightforward rush of just-black-enough speed metal dotted with tasty, atmospheric melodies and technically demanding passages.

This is not the usual blackthrash trip; rare is it to find a modern band nailing the etched-in-time, Walls of Jericho-era Helloween sound with this much aplomb. As such, the production of Withering Tides totally befits their fun-yet-fiery, dark-but-not-completely chassis: gleaming and clean where it needs to be, and just dirty enough underneath.

Nightmarish mayhem, for sure, and immediately memorable after just one listen... but you’ll surely be possessed by Axetasy to press “play” 666 times! Swords of steel aloft, Axetasy’s Withering Tides comes heartily recommended for maniacs of labelmates Hexecutor and BlackEvil as well as former labelmates Sacrifizer, Cruel Force’s more recent work, and Brazil’s Evil Invaders - enter this “Fatal Maze” posthaste!»
