AXiS releases new record

Raw, strong and bold Serbian Romanian power trio, AXiS has made a resounding statement with their latest full-length record, Electric Peace. Founded by Silviu Dan Iliescu and Dejan Kotarcic in 2012, this band draws inspiration from rock legends like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. With their sophomore album, AXiS channels the essence of 70s rock n’ roll while infusing it with a modern twist, creating a unique presence in the rock music scene.

Electric Peace is a classic rock album that transports listeners back to the late 60s and early 70s era. Written in Romania and Serbia, recorded in the Czech Republic and mixed in the US by esteemed engineer Greg Gordon, known for his work with Slipknot, Jet, Airbourne, Rival Sons and many others, this album has traversed the globe, leaving its mark in every corner. With scrupulous attention to production and recording techniques reminiscent of the ‘good old days, AXiS has crafted an album that not only pays homage to the past but also possesses its own distinct identity and dimension.

Across the nine tracks on Electric Peace, the trio serves up their signature swaggering rock n’ roll sound. The album kicks off with “Dazzling Woman,” a track that immediately hooks the listener with grooving riffs and powerful vocals. It sets the stage for a rip-roaring rollercoaster of guitar-driven music that will have fans headbanging and tapping their feet in unison. “Ain’t Got No Tears” showcases the band’s bluesy influences and exceptional musicianship through a sensational guitar solo, while “Somewhere in Time and Space” slows down the tempo, presenting a delicate ballad-esque rocker enriched by soft guitar arrangements that allow the soaring vocals to shine.

“Firewater” picks up the gritty groove once again, offering an all-out fuzzy rock anthem that demands to be played at maximum volume. The funky rock jam of “Until the Night Ends” features snapping drums, organ tones and slick guitar work, creating an irresistible fusion of sounds. “Wild Soul” encapsulates the grandeur and emphatic sound of 70s rock, transporting listeners back to the era of stadium-filling anthems. “Otherside” slows down the pace, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a moving song filled with storytelling lyricism and restrained instrumentation.

The title-track, “Electric Peace,” brings a blazing energy to the album, showcasing the band’s wild rock n’ roll vision at its finest. With its explosive guitar riffs and electrifying performance, the song serves as a testament to AXiS’ ability to captivate and energise their audience. The album concludes with “Fifth Season,” an intricate rock track wrapped in psychedelic vibes, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.

Electric Peace is a stunning showcase of AXiS’ commitment to their craft and their ability to revive the spirit of classic rock while infusing it with their own unique style.
