We all know who Cryptopsy is of course, many of us actually love and know perfectly some of their most famous riffs and catchier patterns?this is exactly why I can't explain to myself the reason of Axon's approaches. These Mexican sickos sound insanely similar to the brutal and non technical side of the aforementioned Canadian band.
So you guessed right, the band ends up sounding quite brutal but simple and flat; it's still not dead though, their utter brutality makes it up for their lack of originality, after all today we can sadly count the fresh and original Death Metal bands with the fingers of just one hand. The whole album comes wrapped in all kind of bizarre twists in the songwriting, there's the classic silent pause here and there and powerful breakdowns all over the place, nothing we haven't heard before but it's really entertaining none the less.
The band tied the songs down greatly to plant a few good seeds that will probably grow in a couple of years. Mexico has few great bands in the scene, personally I love and prefer the underground side of this country where bands like Soulburner, Paracocci?, Semen and many more are raping the music, this is also where Axon falls actually, in the end this part of metal remains uncooked and very raw, but what the hell, that's how Disgorge started anyway.
So if you're looking for extreme Death Metal that almost no one knows, if you're a big fan of Cryptopsy's brutal ends or if you're willing to check one of the most Violent Mexican outfit, give Axon's "War Anthems" a try.
