New Triaxis Album Details Revealed

This is the first Triaxis album I have had the pleasure to record on. It has been a fantastic experience working with Glyn (lead guitar, production) and he really helped me push myself hard to get the best takes possible, and encouraged me to stick with some mad bass lines that I thought would never make the cut! We have been hard up against a deadline and it has certainly been a struggle to finish within the time frame, but looking back over the 12 great tracks (long tracks, too!) we can feel extremely proud about what we have achieved. The fans have been truly amazing in helping us fund this release, and we are getting extremely excited now that the mixes are nearly done… It’s sounding massive, please pre-order!

Here’s a little photo of me and Glyn in his home studio… Glyn’s mind is being blown. This was the Ibanez 5 string used for some parts of the album, which was then signed by the band and sold on PledgeMusic to a fan to help fund the album! Thank you, Pledgers, we are nearly there!

And now some more details about the album from the Triaxis website:

Triaxis Announce Album Title and Artwork

South Wales metallers, Triaxis, announce that they will release the long awaited follow up to the critically acclaimed Rage and Retribution album, on May 18th 2015 via Rocksector Records.

Entitled Zero Hour, the band have once again used the considerable talents of artist Colin Marks to design the album cover. Inspired by the lyrics from the title track, the image depicts an apocalyptic scene with a strange deity-like figure overlooking the decimated city-scape.

Zero Hour features over and hour of music and comprises of 12 tracks:

1. Liberty
2. Death Machine
3. Ministry of Truth
4. Terraform
5. Dying Sun
6. Victorious
7. Stand Your Ground
8. Queen of the Iceni
9. End of Time
10. Lest We Forget
11. Voices
12. Zero Hour

Front Woman, Krissie, explains the process that the band went through to bring the project together:

“We initially recorded the drums with Scott Atkins who really helped us form the basis for what could be considered our heaviest album yet. Self-recording all the guitars, bass and vocals, which Glyn took on the mammoth task of overseeing, has meant we have been able to have complete control over determining the way we want the album to sound. Having James Stephenson (Stymphalian Productions) on board to mix and master brings a further continuity to the album, particularly after the great work he did on our previous album”.

On what to expect from Zero Hour, guitarist CJ, states “This is a natural progression from ‘Rage and Retribution’. The album is certainly heavier and more complex in places, but with plenty of melody and a return to our roots. We can’t wait to play this stuff live.”

To raise money for the project, the band turned to rapidly expanding crowd-funding site, Pledge Music, and were overwhelmed by the response from their ever loyal fans, hitting their target within nine hours of launch. To date, they have raised double their original target amount, exceeding all expectation.

Triaxis are in the process of putting together their biggest tour yet, including a special album release show, which will be revealed very soon. In the meantime, keep an eye on the band’s social media and website for further news.

Pre-orders are currently being taken via the merchstore.
