The Axis of Perdition

The Axis of Perdition are a truly demented four piece from Middlesbrough, UK--second only to the entity and work they've collectively created as The Axis. They are one of the few bands who've been able to garner wide critical acclaim and fanship by not playing music. Although their early work tended to be recognizable as conventional post black metal, their newer works have been some of the most sterile, abrasive, and truly frightening soundscapes conceived by man.
