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:
Hard rockers LILLIAN AXE from the US state of Louisiana will release their tenth studio album, From Womb To Tomb, on August 19 via the Global Rock label. It is intended to please old fans and newcomers alike with the band's excellent quality of composition and top-notch playing.Guitarist and songwriter Steve Blaze comments, "I think the idea behind 'From Womb To Tomb' was on my mind for years. It just needed the right moment to do it. It's a concept album, but it's a special kind of album, it doesn't have a story. It's more of a chronology from birth to ascension of the soul, where each song describes a certain period of life and the lessons learned from it.These observations are made on the basis of my own life, as well as on the growth and development of people I have witnessed myself. It's great that these life experiences seem to come from absolutely everyone, even though the paths and events can be very different. This is the most emotional and powerful music I have ever composed, and judging by the reactions of several people close to me to whom I have played it, it will touch a chord deep inside anyone who hears it.One thing I ask of you: listen to the album from start to finish alone, without distractions, as if you were reading a book or watching a film. This is not a collection of 16 separate, unrelated works. Instead it is a cohesive work with ups and downs, colours and shades, shifting emotions. It will lead you through the light of our greatness and the darkness of our defeats. The band played with terrific power and grace, and I think this is our highest achievement to date.
