Lillian Axe :: Sad Day On Planet Earth

The bitch is back and she is meaner and heavier than ever! 'Sad Day on Planet Earth' is the latest release from perennial American rockers Lillian Axe. The new record finds the band serving up 15 brand new Lillian Axe rockers that are destined to be classics that emphasize melody and song structure while maintaining a hard edge. The entire album is solid featuring standout tracks "Megaslowfade", "Jesus Wept", "Ignite", "The Grand Scale of Finality", and "Within Your Reach". The guitars sound huge and thick and there are tons, and I'm talking TONS, of awesome heavy guitar riffs courtesy of Steve Blaze and Sam Poitevent on guitars. Blaze's leads and solos are full of emotion and they add something special to every song. His cool Blaze model guitars are featured on this album and certainly contributed to the depth and richness of the guitar tones, which are some of the best I've ever heard on a CD. Derrick LeFevre's vocals sound stronger than ever on this recording. The way Levfevre belts out the chorus to "Jesus Wept" will give you goose bumps. Bringing the thunder and rock solid foudation are Ken Koudelka on drums and bassist Eric Morris. As a unit this is the best I've heard Lillian Axe. While they may sound heavier and a bit darker than their previous outings, the band sound tight as ever. If you're a longtime Lillian Axe fan like myself, you'll love this recording. If you're not yet a fan, this will easily make you one.
