Axxis is a German power metal band which was founded in 1988. Their debut album "Kingdom of the Night", became the best ever selling debut album by a hard rock band in Germany in 1989^{[citation needed]}.

Biography

AXXIS have their basic sounds lying within the traditional heavy rock of the 70's and 80's, and have founded their own style which is orientated on hooks like "Living In A World", a mainstay of their live setlists^{[citation needed]}. Bemhard's unique vocal style is another characteristic trademark of the band. Axxis' major ambition is "to be a pure Rock n' Roll band".
