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:

XI: The Days Before Tomorrow is an album by the hard rock band Lillian Axe, released in 2012 it is the first album to feature lead vocalist Brian Jones. A free concert and album release party was hosted on February 4, 2012 at the Howlin' Wolf, a popular music venue in New Orleans.A departure from earlier albums, the album features piano and features numerous acoustic guitar parts.LILLIAN AXE have described “XI: The Days Before Tomorrow” as their best album to date, and I’d be very inclined to agree with them. This is the band’s newest album, and their first with vocalist Brian Jones, who fits in perfectly.The band have been described as writing everything from acoustic ballads to hard rocking epics, and this album shows the full range of their talents. There’s one thing for definite about the songs on this album, they’re very catchy, especially the heavier ones. There are plenty of brilliant riffs throughout, complemented by the brilliant lyrics, singing and general musicianship on display. In my opinion, LILLIAN AXE do extremely well on this album when they’re playing the slower songs, but that might just be because I’m a sucker for a ballad! But seriously, the emotion that Jones puts into his vocals, and the emotions conveyed in the music was awesome to hear. But of course, the band is quite simply superb when they’re rocking it up and delivering some big choruses and even bigger riffs.LILLIAN AXE have been through quite a few personnel changes over the years, even disbanding in 1995 before reuniting 4 years later, but this current lineup is just as awesome as any other. I’ve mentioned Jones’s vocals previously, but he really does make you feel the emotion and power in every word that he sings. The guitar work is particularly impressive, doing equally well with Heavy Metal riffs, and the slower acoustic tracks. Koudelka’s drumming certainly deserves a mention here, because it’s just brilliant. He adds to every track wonderfully. If I had to recommend one song from the album, it’d be my personal favourite, “Death Comes Tomorrow”. An awesome chorus and one that’s going to remain in my head for a while.“XI: The Days Before Tomorrow” delivers a heck of a lot in terms of song writing quality, and musicianship. LILLIAN AXE have certainly done themselves proud with this release, and fans of the band are sure to love it.
