Axon Breeze – A Thriving Sky LP

Axon Breeze are a duo from nipaluna/Hobart, Tasmania: JR Brennan (vocals, production; formerly of crust-punk act Flycop and Berlin electronic duo Theatre Of Disco) and Sam Dowson (drums, machines; Mephistopheles, Milquebarth, RVNKNG). Their debut album A Thriving Sky was recorded in Tasmania with co-producer Aaron Cupples (The Drones, Spiritualized), reworked beside a volcanic lake in Guatemala and mixed in Mexico City. It moves through avant rock, long doom passages and bursts of extreme metal, chasing beauty through brutality. The title track is sung from the point of view of a slug. Evil Metal MX called them “the most intriguing and wild project on the Australian underground scene.”
