│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It was a much different time in 1989 when the ║ │
│║ German band Axxis burst onto the scene with ║ │
│║ their debut disc Kingdom Of The Night. The heavy ║ │
│║ metal scene was ruled by bands such as The ║ │
│║ Scorpions, Poison and a host of others that ║ │
│║ filled the airways with a much more radio ║ │
│║ friendly guitar oriented rock that was based on ║ │
│║ catchy hooks and anthem like choruses. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Axxis is one of the groups that jumped on this ║ │
│║ bandwagon and have yet to get off! This disc ║ │
│║ which was the best selling debut album in ║ │
│║ Germany at the time is filled with all the ║ │
│║ quintessential trappings you would expect from ║ │
│║ this kind of band. From the album openers ║ │
│║ "Living In A World" and "Kingdom Of The Night ║ │
│║ you get the obligatory fiery anthem like metal ║ │
│║ that will have the fist pumping and the crowd ║ │
│║ singing along with the refrain. Lead singer ║ │
│║ Bernhard Weiss is given the chance to show the ║ │
│║ right amount of angst with not one but two ║ │
│║ mandatory power ballads with "Fire And Ice" and ║ │
│║ "Tears Of The Trees". The rest of the album is ║ │
│║ filled with songs that fall somewhere in ║ │
│║ between. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While the guitar work of Weiss and Walter ║ │
│║ Pietsch is very good throughout the album and ║ │
│║ the vocals of Bernhard is as good as most in ║ │
│║ this genre, the album is one that sounds like it ║ │
│║ is following the path that others have been down ║ │
│║ before instead of pushing into any new ║ │
│║ territory. This is not necessarily a bad thing, ║ │
│║ if you like this type of stuff it will remind ║ │
│║ you of so many other groups that you would be ║ │
│║ hard pressed not like something on here. I ║ │
│║ personally like the song "Living In A World" ║ │
│║ which has a ring of later day Yes to it. The ║ │
│║ song "Never Say Never" with its galloping guitar ║ │
│║ is another that I kept coming back to with its ║ │
│║ Iron Maiden feel. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It is easy to see why this album did so well. It ║ │
│║ gives people just what they want without having ║ │
│║ to delve to deep. This album will bring back ║ │
│║ memories of music that was less complicated and ║ │
│║ unpretentious. It was just rock & roll! ║ │
