Hoping to play along in the footsteps of the Scorpions earlier them, German metal/hard rock stripe Axxis was formed in 1988 by Bernhard Weiss (vocals, guitar), Walter Pietsch (guitar, vocals), Werner Kleinhans (bass), and Richard Michalski (drums). Quickly signed by EMI's German subordinate, Axxis unleashed their impressive
Kingdom of the Night debut album the following yr, and followed suit with 1990's
II and 1991's live Access All Areas. Although none of these releases fared all that well outside of their native res publica, 1993's The Big Thrill was considered something of a stripe landmark for being their commencement sweat recorded in America (Philadelphia, to be precise). (It as well saw the comer of keyboardist Harry Oellers and, soon afterwards its transcription, the divergence of bassist Kleinhans.) Axxis carried on undeterred, however, touring consistently across Europe and recording 1995's Matters of Survival in Los Angeles with celebrated producer Keith Olsen. 1997's Voodoo Vibes preceded an extended layoff punctuated by major musician turnover, as longtime guitarist Pietsch distinct to move indorse and was replaced by Guido Wehmeyer. A new basso function player named Kuno Niemayer was too on hired hand by the fourth property Axxis made their return with 2000's
Back to the Kingdom, and, since then, the stripe has released
Eyes of Darkness in 2001 and
Meter Machine in 2004.
