"I always wanted to do a multi-layered drum band?but not in a jam band kind of way, in a crushing tribal way." So says Erik Larson of Axehandle, a power trio unlike any other. Indeed "Power" is the first thing that you hear on Axehandle?s debut. Recorded in true stereo, you will feel the band surround you every step of the way. At times it?s a head-splitting drumming overload, at others a slow-building melody of doom-laden guitar waves. Consisting of Erik Larson, Bryan Cox and Ryan Lake, this may appear to be an Alabama Thunder Pussy side project (which technically it is) but don?t be fooled. Axehandle is a chance for Larson and the boys to examine ground beyond ATP and expand beyond the confines of genre and style to create something totally unique. Recorded by Vince Burke (Beaten Back To Pure) in a weekend of beer-fueled fury, Axehandle?s debut is a disturbingly addictive barrage of musical blood avarice.
