Axxonn

AXXONN takes all things beautiful - unicorns, showbags, stolen pens, J-Pop - and mashes it into shit, noise, dirt and distortion to come up with what can only be described as a mix between 'Powernoise & Icecream'. Lulling listeners into a false sense of security at times, AXXONN's aim is to transverse a number of genres, picking, choosing and using their favourite facets of black metal, doom metal, ambiance, electro and pop to create a cacophony of sound that feels like a rainbow sawing through your cranium (in a good way).
