Axenstar - Far From Heaven (2003)

TRACKLIST:




Artist : Axenstar
Country : Sweden
Release : Far From Heaven
Year : 2003
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Axenstar are back with their second album, both of which are on the Arise Records label. The guys pick up right where they left off with their debut, Perpetual Twilight. I found the debut album to be an enjoyable listen, although there were a few tracks that passed with indifference. It's safe to say that the band has improved since that album. Far From Heaven won't bring these guys into the elite status of the crowded power metal genre, but their second album is a worthy step in that direction.

Axenstar - The Final Requiem (2006)

TRACKLIST:




Artist : Axenstar
Country : Sweden
Release : The Final Requiem
Year : 2006
Genre : Heavy Metal  

File Type : mp3 320


Info:

After being exposed to The Inquisition, the third studio album by Swedish power metallers Axenstar, I was excited when I got the opportunity to review their latest effort, The Final Requiem. I took great pleasure in listening to my introduction to the band, which I found to be refreshingly well written in a drenched power metal scene, with neo-classical solos of guitars and keyboards making up the bulk of the melodies, along with a few aggressive moments thrown in as well. Between all the Rhapsody's and the Sonata Arctica's of the world, we are left with a few strays that make an impact on the metal music scene where listeners can truly differentiate between styles. Axenstar has been a solid example of a band that defies common stereotypes by delivering a fluid performance while sidestepping some of the sterotypes that bring so much chagrin to the genre (i.e. bombastic flair, and symphonic interludes).

Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Sweden ’s AXENSTAR just released their third CD called “The InQuisition”. The CD opens with harpsichord keyboards sounding like Lurch playing from the “Adam’s Family.” Then BAM… you have it!
AXENSTAR starts their assault with “The Fallen One” which is pure power metal that will make your ears ring. Great catchy hooks and power chords are the backbone of AXENSTAR. Just imagine them sounding like POWERAGE, a band from years ago that used to play Iron Maiden covers.
