Lillian Axe Recharges with New Bassist and Upcoming Album

The legendary Lillian Axe, hailing from the vibrant streets of New Orleans, is gearing up to make waves once again with their highly anticipated new studio album, slated for an early 2027 drop via the ever-reputable BraveWords Records. This band, known for their iconic records like Lillian Axe, Love + War, Poetic Justice, and Psychoschizophrenia, is not only ready to release new music but has also introduced a formidable new bassist, Keith Long, to their ranks.

Frontman Steve Blaze expressed his enthusiasm for Long's arrival, crediting his trusted circle for the recommendation. "When we found ourselves in need of a new bassist, I turned to those I trust. Keith's name came up repeatedly. A respected player in the Texas scene, he walked into his first rehearsal and just crushed it. From his attitude to his sheer professionalism, it was clear he was the right fit. We're thrilled to welcome him into our family," Blaze shared.

As the band dives into the final stages of production for their new album, Blaze can't help but reflect on the creative journey they've embarked upon. "We’re in mixing mode now! After a year and a half of intense work, we’re finally in the home stretch. The process has been incredibly rewarding, pushing us to explore new territories beyond our previous limits. It’s reminiscent of the boldness we captured with From Womb to Tomb, and I think we’ve managed to harness an epic intensity that we didn’t even know was possible," he enthused.

With artwork nearing completion, Blaze is optimistic about their partnership with BraveWords Records, stating, "They’ve provided us with the backing we need to launch into this next phase of our journey, and I can’t wait for our fans to hear what we’ve created." Lillian Axe, known for their dramatic hard rock sound, is coming off a successful run with From Womb To Tomb, which marked their triumphant return to Europe and hit #28 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart. Their legacy includes tours alongside rock legends and an illustrious induction into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.

BraveWords Records, the label behind acts like Crimson Glory and Alcatrazz, is committed to filling the void for hardworking bands seeking a professional partnership. With a team boasting nearly a century of combined industry experience, they are poised to help artists navigate the ever-evolving music landscape. As Lillian Axe prepares for their next chapter, the anticipation is palpable, and the metal world is ready for their return.
