NEURAXIS

BANDINFO:
These Canadian Deathmeisters under this unusual yet catchy moniker were called into being in 1994 by founding members Steven Henry und Yan Thiel in Montreal / Canada. According to the band the term “Neuraxis” comes from human medicine, where it describes the axial part of human nervous system. Good and important to know - the listener should pay attention to this part of his / her body while listening to the brutal sounds of Neuraxis. Just to make sure it´s not going to be ripped to pieces and causes a collapse. A few truly devastating live attacks in their homecountry quickly brought the band a great reputation, that quickly surpassed the regional boundaries. 1996 Neuraxis recorded their notorious debut at Peter Pan-Studios with well-known producer Jean-Francois Dagenais (Kataklysm). The twelve deadly tracks on this mighty debut reflect the Grind/Death roots and already showcase those trademark melodic runs. Neuraxis continued to shake up Quebec with their enormously energetic liveshows. Guitarist Robin Milley (also plays with Torn Within) replaced Felipé Quinzanos to become a permanent member. Milley brought highly developed playing chops along with important new fresh impetus to the sound of Neuraxis, who wrote new material in no time. Still the line-up changed again: Drummer Mathieu Royal and vocalist Maynard Moore decided to turn their backs on Neuraxis. They were replaced by sessiondrummer Martin Auger (ex-Elements, ex-Obscene Crisis) and larynxkiller Chris Alsop. This fresh blood in the band´s veins led to the recording of a 4 track promo, followed by yet another line-up change: skinpounder Alexandre Erian (Despised Icon, In Dying Days, ex-Hidden Pride) and vocal sadist Ian Campbell (Spiritual Might) completed the band. Our Canadian heros played several gigs, the Montreal Metal-Fest in 1999 and 2000 with Emperor, Borknagar, Earth Crisis, In Flames and many more. Neuraxis entered the studio again in late 2000 to record the „A Passage Into Forlorn” EP with producer Yannick St-Amand. This EP shows the progress in terms of technique and songwriting. After even more liveshows and the completition of the songwriting process Neuraxis decided to commence the recordings of their new album Truth Beyond…” in March 2002 under the supervision of Pierre Rémillard (Oblivion, Gorguts, Cryptopsy) at his Z Sound studio together with Yannick St-Amant. The album contains 13 tracks, which prove to be the most extreme, diverse and best arranged compositions of these Canadian brutality fetishists. Frontcover art was contributed by Mike Harrison (Misery Index, Dying Fetus). The impressive sounds of death on this killeralbum of extremity must derive from highly gifted and frantic musical minds. Neuraxis convince Grind/Death Metal-Fans by unbelievable technical skills to which the bands adds astonishing melodic content while maintaining the necessary brutality. All players involved give their best, with “Truth Beyond…” Neuraxis prove impressivly that extreme metallic brutality can be crossed with prefectly developed technique and melody. The final result is a monsterous soundspectrum of incredible diversity.
