Bio:

Lillian Axe is a hard rock band from New Orleans, Louisiana best known for their major label albums, Lillian Axe and Love + War, and Poetic Justice, the band's biggest commercial success. Originally formed in 1983, the group is still active today although only guitarist Steve Blaze remains from the original line-up.The classic line-up came together when former Stiff members, Ron Taylor (lead vocals) and Jon Ster (rhythm guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), teamed up with Lillian Axe members Steve Blaze (lead guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Rob Stratton (bass guitar), and Danny King (drums) in 1987. The band caught the attention of Ratt's management which led to a record deal with MCA and Ratt's Robbin Crosby producing the self-titled debut. However, neither Lillian Axe' nor the 1989 follow-up, Love + War, produced by Tony Platt, met commercial expectations and the group was quickly dropped. A compilation of both MCA albums, (1987-1989) Out of the Darkness - Into the Light, was released in 1991.The band would find a new label home with Grand Slamm/I.R.S. Records for 1992's Poetic Justice, with Darrin DeLatte (bass) and former Dirty Looks member Gene Barnett (drums) replacing Stratton and King, respectively. The album peaked on the Billboard Top Heatseekers at No. 28,[2] the band's biggest success to date, in part based on the strength of the single, "True Believer." Returning to the studio once again with Swedish producer Leif Mases, the group issued Psychoschizophrenia in 1993, with Tommy Scott taking over on drums for Gene Barnett. Unable to capitalize on their previous success, Lillian Axe disbanded in 1995. Ron Taylor would form The Bridge, while Steve Blaze teamed up with his brother, drummer Craig Nunenmacher, in Near Life Experience, and Tommy Scott, aka Tommy Stewart, found success with Boston's Godsmack, appearing on the band's platinum selling Godsmack and Awake albums.In 1999, Lillian Axe released, Fields of Yesterday, consisting of unreleased demos and album outtakes, followed by Live 2002, recorded in May 2002 in Houston, TX, with only Taylor and Blaze remaining from the classic MCA line-up.After several line-up changes, the band recruited lead vocalist Derrick LeFevre, who appeared on Waters Rising (2007), Sad Day on Planet Earth (2009), and Deep Red Shadows (2010). On June 23, 2010, Ronny Munroe, formerly of Metal Church, replaced Derrick LeFevre as lead vocalist but departed four months later before recording any material with the band. He was replaced Brian C. Jones who can be heard on the latest release, XI The Days Before Tomorrow (2012).On August 8, 2013, Lillian Axe was involved in an automobile accident.Lillian Axe will release One Night in the Temple, an acoustic live album, on April 15, 2014.

Album:

Compilation of material from their first 2 albums; increasingly harder to find.Originally released in 1991 and never reissued until now, specialized Dutch label Music On CD has been made available again LILLIAN AXE's "Out Of The Darkness / Into The Light".After turning up the heat with the release of their second album Love + War, it appeared as if Lillian Axe was poised to kick ass on the hair band front. "Out Of The Darkness / Into The Light", pulls together songs from the group's self-titled debut and the aforementioned Love + War.Indeed, "Out Of The Darkness / Into The Light" was a record label move to capitalize the success of Lillian Axe second album, and put this compilation with songs from the band's previous album.However, it wasn't an executives plan only, as lead vocalist Ron Taylor and guitarist Stevie Blaze were involved and personally selected the tracks for "Out Of The Darkness / Into The Light".These include the raucous "Misery Loves Company", "She Likes It On Top", "Show A Little Love", and the big arena ballad "Ghost Of Winter", among other highlights.Indeed, this "Out Of The Darkness / Into The Light" works like a greatest hits CD.So the question is; it was necessary a "Out Of The Darkness / Into The Light" reissue? I mean, fans already got Lillian's first two albums.Well, I think this is a must have for completist fans of the band, and works greatly for the casual listener who wants the best songs into one single CD and not having to purchase the original two.But there's another reason; I recall reading in a magazine back in the day that some of the songs for this release were re-mixed.I can't confirm this; listening to this Music On CD reissue and comparing the songs with the original I can't find a remarkable difference... perhaps in a couple of intros, and some cymbal fills.Anyway, "Out Of The Darkness / Into The Light" comprises Lillian Axe's best songs, some brilliant stuff from the glorious US hard rock era.
