Axamenta.
The band is back after a long winter's nap. Axamenta formed in 1993.... that's 31 years, people. I can't lie and say I've been a fan since then because I didn't know an ounce about them until recently when their PR company sent me a copy of their 23 minute EP. Insta Fan! Axamenta is a combination of the things I love most about hard rock and heavy metal. They have figured out their own sound to be sure (I mean, it's only been 31 years), but they have found a way to incorporate their influences and DNA into a soup of amazing proportions and due to that, all the bands that you think influenced them were actually probably influenced by them.
If you like Dimmu Borgir, you'll like Axamenta. If you like progressive rock and metal, you'll like Axamenta. If you love Evergrey, you'll love Axamenta. IF you love progressive metal or Post Metal, you'll love Axamenta. You get the point.
I should also say that the give guys like me real hope that you just keep doing what you love and share with the world. They'll find you eventually. If you quit, why do it in the first place? Just keep going. Today, I get to host the guitarist and composer for the band... and here he is. Ian Van Gemeren is the man and he's here, right now and I'm so so stoked.
Ladies and gentlemen.... boom! Welcome, Ian!
