Unfortunately vocalist Lakonia won’t accompany the band on this tour, due to privat reasons; but a top-class alternative has already been found: “On our forthcoming tour the female vocals will be sung by Ana Mladinovici, vocalist of the Rumanian band MAGICA. We are really happy to collaborate with such an amazing songstress, who perfectly understands, how the feeling of the newest AXXIS-output “Doom of Destiny” has to be performed on stage”, says Harry Oellers, keyboard player of AXXIS.

Ana adds: “I am very happy and at the same time proud that I was chosen to join the Axxis team on their tour with Helloween and Gamma Ray. I know that this will also help my band, Magica, a lot because of the promotion around this event. So all of you metalfans of Europe be prepared because Heavy Metal is coming your way, coming hard and with a touch of  "magic" :).“

MAGICA’s recent album “Hereafter” is available since the 19th October and can be recommended to every fan of melodic, romantic, gothic and heavy metal.

"Immediately we said YES! and we organized everything (like the releasedate etc.) to let this tour happen. With Gammaray it's a perfect package for the fans...in my opinion! For us, you must consider, this is our first regular europeantour, we will do since BlackSabbath in 1989 on their Headless Cross Tour;-)!

12.12.2007 - Guido says goodbye...

The year 2006 was a very successful year for AXXIS and now we got bad news:-(
Guido wanted to leave AXXIS.

The band did know his decision since september 2006 and wanted to say thanxx for the great time, the great productions and the wonderful gigs with him. For AXXIS it's not an easy situation but everybody accepted Guido's plan for his own future.

In Karlsruhe/Germany was the last gig with him and AXXIS presented a large cake for their long-time colleague during their private party. The goodbye was not easy ...you can see it on the pics.

Here you can read Guido's statement>>>


The band tries to find a good alternative and if someone thinks that he's able to do this job he can sent and mail with bio and fotos to axxisworld@aol.com
