FC Mertingen AXXIS

"WIR ROCKEN DEN RASEN!"

"We rock the pitch!" AXXIS is the new sponsor of FC Mertingen's B-youth team.

With this slogan, AXXIS is sponsoring FC Mertingen's B-youth/U15 team. In response to an email inquiry from coach Uwe Schmidt, lead singer Bernhard Weiß personally reached out. They quickly agreed that it would be a great idea to have the AXXIS logo displayed on the new jerseys of the Mertingen B-youth  team. True to their word, the jerseys were promptly ordered, and in the final phase of the season, the B-youth  team was able to take the field wearing the new jerseys.

Uwe Schmid: "Special thanks to AXXIS, who immediately agreed to take on the sponsorship, bringing great joy to the players, coaches, parents, and fans!"

Bernhard Weiß: "We thought the idea was fantastic right from the start and hope that the FC Mertingen team will kick off the next season fully motivated in the new jerseys :-)!"

AXXIS receives GOLD!

On Friday (June 9, 2023), the AXXIS management, BOTTOM ROW, presented the band with the GOLD certification live on stage in Ulm. "KINGDOM OF THE NIGHT" reached 250,000 units sold.

Due to the end of EMI ELECTROLA and the acquisition by UNIVERSAL MUSIC, exact data could not be determined... there should have been significantly more units sold. However, the management was able to provide data through other royalty collection organizations such as GEMA, etc.

So, let's say: Congratulations!


AXXIS receives Gold
AXXIS solo projects

Solo projects by AXXIS members

During Lockdown in 2020/2021/2022 some AXXIS members decided to produce  their own music. The reason for these releases is a grant from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is paid out when musicians break new ground and try something different. So, Bernhard Weiss released his "ROCK CHANSONS", Dirk Brand produced his "ANCIENT FUTURE DRUMS" and soon Harry Oellers will be releasing his instrumental music project called "COLORS". 
Without the Corona situation, these albums would not have existed. So this time also has something positive.  :-)

Listen to their solo projects here:

Harry Oellers : "COLORS"

Harry's first solo album will be released on 11th, March 2022 via Phonotraxx / The Orchard.

Listen to his vision of instrumental music!
Harry: " What can you expect? I‘m personally interested in a wide range of different music styles and so are the songs on my album.
Imagine Alan Parson meets Vangelis and they decided to make Rockmusic under the influence of drugs like Emerson, Lake&Palmer, Tangerine Dream, Judas Priest and Jean-Michel Jarre. In one song bombast, next calm, heavy again then floating, but also NDW is represented.
The different styles were divided up into colored areas for better understanding !
"

 Get it for 22,-EUR incl. shipping costs within EUROPE.

AXXIS JAPAN Facebook page

AXXIS Japan • ア ク シ ス 日本 • 

We would like to thank Ina Martin (Japanese), Paula Doria (Spanish) and Thierry Duquenne (French) for doing a great job addressing AXXIS news and infomation to our fans in their local language now!

That's really cool! ThanXX!

AXXIS interrupt recordings for the regular album!

Now "VIRUS OF A MODERN TIME" from 2006 will be reanimatet.

Due to the corona virus situation worldwide, Bernhard and Harry decided to release a digital EP with 6 songs, which is not a regular AXXIS production.

In 2006 they developed a play called "Prometheus Brain Project" with the Landestheater Schwaben and the former director Walter Weyers, which was successfully premiered in 2007 in Memmingen.

Bernhard: "When I thought about the play and the songs we wrote for it at the time, I felt like a prophecy had just been fulfilled!" 

Harry: "Usually we're in a production for a new AXXIS album. But the situation we're going through right now is so special and fits perfectly to the songs we wrote in 2006. So we spontaneously decided to release the songs digitally as an EP."

Berny in the studio

Just a small report from the studio. Berny during the production of the  "Best of EMI-Years" album.

AXXIS re-recorded everything just to transfer the songs from 1989 into the year 2019. Here is the result: Take a listen an!

For AXXIS 30th anniversary, two releases just for you!

30 years in the rock business,
30 years surviving all ups and downs,
30 years many high level albums released ,
for about 30 years the fans are still loyal to the band
and now 30 years of rock music history  it's time for a little look back.

With 2 releases AXXIS would like to say thanxx to all who made this possible: YOU!

Bernhard: "We also want to show you  how the band has changed in the course of this time, so we had the idea to transport our songs from the EMI years to the year 2019. It was really exciting for us to bring back our memories ..back to life during our recordings. The songs are  filled with so many memories from the years 1989 to 1997! "

Harry: "The new recording of the songs was a kind of flashback storm for us and we are curious what makes AXXIS 2019 different from AXXIS in 1989!"

The double CD, the vinyl and  a special  500pcs. Limited Gold Box will be released on November 15th, 2019 via Phonotraxx / Soulfood.
Unfortunately we have to postpone the release because of very busy vinyl records pressing plants...sorry!!

The recordings of the Bang your Head Festival 2017, in which AXXIS have performed great, will also be released on August 9th as the band's first Blu-Ray.

Not to mention the tour with VICE, the many festivals and the two anniversary shows.

So, one thing you can really say: AXXIS really give everything for their 30th anniversary :-)

Now you can preorder te BLUE -RAY without any shipping costs within Germany! For other countries we have to add the shipping costs.

AXXIS Bernhard Weiss Weiß

Culture award for Bernhard

What an October 2016.
The AXXIS show in the legendary Heinz-Hilpert Theater, the call of the mayor of Lünen one week later and the future of the LÜKAZ in Lünen after they've kicked Martin Raudszus who is responsible for the success story of this venue.

Here is the  reason why the mayor called Bernhard:
Vocalist Bernhard Weiss was rewarded with the culture award for his musical accomplishments and his outstanding work with the local youths in his hometown of Lünen. Setting an example, that not only classical music can be rewarded for their achievements.


AXXIS & fans donate for LOVEPARADE

Im 2015 AXXIS decided to offer all people on the guestlist to donate a self-chosen amount for the Loveparade foundation called Duisburg 24-7-2010. This foundation helps and supports relatives and victims in a long term. 

The result of the AXXIS collection is 700,-€. 

THANXX to everybody: All fans, guests, journalists and photographers who donated for this idea. Harry and Bernhard presented the money in May 2016 directly to the foundation in front of the city hall of Duisburg.

Since AXXIS have written their song "21 crosses" regarding the Loveparade tragedy the band is in contact with the relatives and the foundation. In 2014 they have played on the commemoration for the Loveparade tragedy. 

Bernhard:" We will never forget this very emotional day when we've plaved in front of all affected parents and people concerned. Till this moment I was not aware of the feedback we've got, how deep our song touched the people. They appreciate this kind of musical memorial for the victims and we - especially as a rockband- are very proud to this very emotional response!"

So, donate again whenever you want: Foundation website 

AXXIS: THE WAR

AXXIS are looking forward to cooperation with filmmaker Rene Zimmerman who wants to produce a movie called REBELS OF STEEL (former Seven Devils) - an independent project with an outstanding story and high-class pictures.

Two like- minded artists are working together to create a great movie with atmospheric picture and a powerful story.

Bernhard: "We have seen parts of the film and we're really impressed by the quality and the story: This is what the Ruhr area (our home) needs, an authentic, incredibly exciting and atmospheric cinema movie!

We also working with our own label and our band independently. So this fits perfectly together. To support this great but very expensive project, the REBELS OF STEEL need support by our fans. 

This is our first experience with crowdfundig and if you want to see AXXIS music in a great cinema movie support us!"
