Axeman

These guys are part of the super kvlt Black Twilight Circle operating out of Southern California, but Axeman, as the name implies, are Amebix worship and not a Black Metal band. Like Japan's Zoe, Axeman do little to rebuff the comparisons, hell, even some actual Amebix riffs appear on Arrive (get it? It's like Arise.) Like I said back when I posted Zoe's The Last Axe Beat EP, There are worse bands to emulate than Amebix.

Best Crepusculo Negro release to date, barely besting Arizmenda's "Within the Vacuum of Infinity". I can't get enough of this release, the 80s worship just bleeds through in such a headbanging way!!!!!

Axeman and a few other BTC bands are playing in SC in a couple of weeks. They should be in SF too.
