Beskrivelse:

For fans of Iron Maiden, Slayer & Judas Priest

AnoxiA is back with their sophomore full length effort "TO THE LIONS". AnoxiA has spent the time since the release of their previous full-length, the critically acclaimed "A Lapdance For The Devil", partially on the road and partially in rehearsal and the studio, crafting the 9 songs that would eventually become "TO THE LIONS". The musical direction on "TO THE LIONS" is old school heavy metal - melodic, yet hardhitting and thrashy at times. At times even a modern twist sneaks in. The songs are carved around strong riffing a wide array of vocal variation, supporting the musical landscapes.

"TO THE LIONS" is in the natural vein of AnoxiAs previous works, not deviating too much from the recognizable AnoxiA-formula of heavy metal. However, this time AnoxiA decided on a more direct and clear edge to the sound, allowing the songs to speak more for themselves. The musical direction bears references to the likes of Iron Maiden, Slayer, In Flames, and a lot of classic hard rock and 80s thrash.
Guitarist Claus S. Nielsen states: "This time our approach to the writing process was to create aggressive and raw, yet melodic and memorable heavy metal songs that first hit you between the eyes and then stick in your ears! That has indeed been a pleasant journey, however with many a fun detour along the way. "

Vocalist and guitarist Lars Frederiksen elaborate: "We wanted to keep intact the AnoxiA trademark, but at the same time also to renew or refine our sound. By teaming up with our longtime friends, Ole W. Bertelsen (producing, recording, mixing)) and Simon Joergensen (drum recording) we gained a more direct and dynamic sound than the previous album. Adding Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, who in fact did some of our first demos in 2000, for mastering the album, gave the new album the last boost and we're very satisfied with the sound."

AnoxiA is a well-established act on the Danish underground live metal scene, their longevity dating back 20+ years. Hell bent on having fun during performance, AnoxiA approaches any gig fully charged, sincerely convinced that in order for the audience to enjoy, the band must enjoy.
