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:

Picture a Rock bar on a weeknight…“last round”…03:30a.m. or whatever. Not more than half a dozen of die-hard rockin’ vagabonds. One has really nothing to wake up for the next day, the other flirting with disaster since his everlasting love waved bye bye all at once, a couple chattin’ serenely in the back and another outlaw talkin’ everything with an exiled yet un-apprehensive bartender. To the theoretical sound of any of the fresh portion off the new LILLIAN AXE tracklist everyone’s going down. A cigarette, lighters strike twice, another drink to go and the aura becomes tempting yet quite hard to handle. The wasteland of everyone’s psychic becomes the best company money can buy at the time…Steve Blaze is the man I’d like to share dates at a vacation camp with, by the way. His looks and only in the personal photo in the band’s MySpace page is self-explanatory. The man’s flirted with ‘hair’ Metal, radical Hard Rock and steel-calm Rock for more than 20 years and has possibly never cared why the mass underestimated his charisma. Not more than 13 months after the solemn “Sad Day On Planet Earth”, while preserving the same lineup, Steve offers a piece of art. Another piece of art. And pieces of art seem to be priceless to many (hence no grade will you find at the end of this review). Whoever’s familiar with the LILLIAN AXE moniker knows.Part 1: Five brand new songs, penned and produced by Steve Blaze, mixed by Rob Hovey and mastered by Ty Tabor (KING’S X), form a fresh palette spreading colors in notes with the band flirting with Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, New Rock and even 70s progressive Rock. In a total of 30 minutes you see LILLIAN AXE trespassing the moody atmosphere of the band’s 2009 predecessor and rapidly imagine a county lake with calm waters and the sun and moon exchanging places to the blink of an eye. You can meet PINK FLOYD’s and ELOY’s space tranquility here, TOOL’schronic diversity spews on the rebound, late DOKKEN’s melancholic fanfare and possibly LILLIAN AXE’s post-80s archives buffering in between, that’s where the new songs of “Deep Red Shadows” take hold of your repose. If being asked, “Under The Same Moon” progresses through flattering Hard/Heavy emotions, “47 Ways To Die” gallops to a quest for square bliss, “The Quenching Of Human Life” is quantal and poised yet smooth and cogent, “A Minute Of Years” shows signs of longitude and the “Deep Red Shadows” instrumental outro deafeningly heals the withering soul. Get a load of this and roll forth to the second part, now. LILLIAN AXE does not resemble to any other band, anyway. Not one.Part 2: Four remakes in acoustic mode. Four favorite LILLIAN AXE classics (yeap, bands that never entered the charts have classics, too) driving the die-hard fan nuts. I always believed enough of the band’s everlasting hymns have a suicidal attribute lurking but that’s probably a double-faced dominion of Steven Blaze’s poetic charisma, again said. “Nobody Knows” was in 1988’s “Lillian Axe” LP, “The Day I Met You” storms in from 1993 and “Psychoschizophrenia” opus and “Sad Day On Planet Earth” with “Nocturnal Symphony” belong to 2009’s predecessor. The impressive thing ‘bout this remakes (especially the first couple, aging to 20 years old by now) is that they show no sign of wear and could comfortably be included as the rest of ‘new songs’ to this new album for those not on warm relation with the American band’s past discography.Steve Blaze and LILLIAN AXE has gone wild; wild at the fan’s inner world. They always had this moody aspect in their music, even when they were credited as ‘poser’ party rockers in their 80s commercial(?) heyday, but time does tell and after so many years the band has settled down writing one piece of art after the other. Few times has tranquil sagacious music created such piercing emotional conflicts in our days, I confess.
