Axewielder started up in February 2001 after the founding members Andrew Axewielder, Tom Terrorfire and Dave Demonizer had consumed a good dozen high voltage drinks and thought it would be a great idea to play some songs with pure rock'n'roll sounds.
The band hit the rehearsal-room and wrote their first songs in just a very short time. Without working out the songs well, the band decided to record their first demo-tape. Really, it just was a live recording of a bad performance! The demo was called Heavy Metal Law and split the scene.
Nevertheless Metal Coven Records showed interest in releasing a split single with Axewielder and Heathen Hoof. So Axewielder began to record two of their songs in a more professional way. The single featured the songs Heavy Metal Werewolf and Steel Force.
At the end of the recordings Axewielder also played their first live show. But starting up with the after-show party before playing wasn't the best idea they had. You'll know what we mean if you were there to see it!
As the single was sold out very soon, Axewielder entered the studio again to record another five songs for the planned release of their 10" picture Mini-LP. The release was entitled Heavy Matal Law once again.
With the release of the Mini-LP, founding member Tom Terrorfire left the band. After working a short time as a two-piece, Pat Pulverizer joined the band in the spring of 2004. The songs the band wrote throughout 2004/2005 just killed and Axewielder recognised that a second guitar player was necessary to create a more powerful sound. So Arm In Flames was recruited as second guitar player at the end of 2005.
Since then Axewielder has concentrated on working out the new killing material.
Seven new songs were recorded in 2007. Together with three old (never before released) tracks we will unleash them on a 12"-LP.
The as The Nightcrew entitled LP was released in April2009 again in cooperation with Metal Coven Records. It came along on 525 copies of clear vinyl.
Raise your tankards for Heavy Metal's evil reign!
