German blackened speed metal outfit Axetasy are now streaming their highly anticipated debut album, Withering Tides, exclusively on Decibel magazine’s website.
Hailing from Stuttgart, Axetasy formed in 2020, bringing an old-school fire that defies their youth. Drawing heavily from the speed, thrash, and black metal pioneers of the ’80s, the band’s raw and furious sound feels like a portal to a darker time. Before you even realize it, Axetasy has dragged you headlong into their chaotic realm of unrelenting, morbid ecstasy.
Following their debut and a handful of digital singles, Axetasy now storm forward with Withering Tides, a full-length that stands as their boldest statement yet. The album kicks off with a foreboding intro before exploding into a blazing torrent of heavy metal glory. While the sound channels a classic, familiar energy, Axetasy’s unique touch makes it undeniably their own. The band masterfully blends raw, blackened speed metal with intricate melodies and technical prowess, carving a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh.
Fans of early Helloween – especially the Walls of Jericho era – will appreciate the album’s razor-sharp precision, bolstered by a production style that’s polished yet retains just enough grit. Withering Tides is an adrenaline rush of dark, chaotic mayhem, balanced by infectious hooks that will haunt you long after the final note. One listen is enough to pull you in, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself compelled to spin it endlessly—until the devil himself loses count!
For devotees of Hexecutor, Blackevil, Sacrifizer, and Cruel Force’s latest offerings – as well as anyone who thrives on the ferocity of Brazil’s Evil Invaders – Withering Tides is a must-hear. Raise your swords, step into Axetasy’s “Fatal Maze,” and surrender to the storm!
Set to be unleashed worldwide on January 24th via Dying Victims Productions, fans can experience the full force of Withering Tides right now by visiting Decibel.
