ThanXX to the best fans in the world for bringing us into the Top 20 of the official German Media Control Charts for the first time. Incredible! Our small label, Phonotraxx, has achieved what EMI, Universal, and many other major labels never did. The Top 20!!
Keep supporting the band and buy/stream the new album "COMING HOME".

The experiment was a success: In 2023, AXXIS recorded their fans in the Balver Cave, at Full Metal Holiday, and in Lünen, all singing a fantastic melody together. In "Moonlight Bay," these many voices were mixed together to demonstrate even more unity and togetherness in the song. Musical elements from "Touch the Rainbow" were intentionally used to continue writing this text full of hope for a better future. "Moonlight Bay," a place without hate, discord, or mistrust, where people live together in harmony, a place you will only find if you let go of all negativity. A fantasy place that would be too good to be true, especially in today's world... but dreaming is still allowed.
will be released on June 7th, 2024
The video was shot with David Hambach (Bildhauer Filme) in Lünen, Unna, and Bergkamen. The band performed at the company Szenenwerk in Lünen. Actor Nicholas Busch was filmed by David at various locations in the Unna district. You can learn more about it on our YouTube channel. It's best if you subscribe!

Voila! AXXIS cover 2024 by Thomas Ewerhard/AXXIS
On July 12, 2024, AXXIS will release their final album titled "COMING HOME." As the title suggests, the AXXIS circle is closing, and the band is "coming home."
Bernhard describes the cover idea: "AXXIS is our baby, which, cradled in the arms of AI in animal form and in a world of destruction, fake news, and untruths, sees little chance to creatively reach or improve this world with its messages of peace, climate protection, freedom, and justice, just as we imagined as young people in 1989."
THANXX for 35 Years to the best fans in the world !
In 2024/25, we're "coming home"!
AXXIS Tour 2024/25
Unbelievable! After 35 years, the AXXIS saga comes full circle in 2024. We're seizing the moment to express our gratitude with a brand-new album, an epic tour, and not one, but two anniversary shows featuring some badass friends and guests.
We invite the best fans in the world to join us. Let's crank up the volume together on a time-traveling journey from the rad 80s all the way to the badass 2024!

"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 :-)!"
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!

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."
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!
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 :-)

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.
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 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!"
