Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

German power metallers AXXIS are going to release their upcoming album, “Kingdom Of The Night II,” on 28th February 2014. The album will be the first AXXIS studio album for five years and the first one which will be released on the band´s own label Phonotraxx. The band also are going to celebrate their 25th anniversary with the release of this album.

“When we were working on “Kingdom Of The Night” all these feelings from back then have become alive in us again and things were very clear immediately” singer Bernhard Weiß explains. “Ideas and creative inputs just flew out of us and it was obvious that we could not put all that on one single album only. Due to the different songs, ballads such as “Stay Don ´t Leave Me” and heavy stuff we decided to split both albums in different moods. Both albums don ´t match to modern trends, but both are Axxis-melody-like and completely stand for itself.”
