Throughout their fifteen plus year history, Montreal's NEURAXIS have pushed the boundaries of melodic, technical death metal. 'Asylon', the band's second release for Prosthetic, and sixth album overall, is certainly no exception to this. The album was recorded at Wildsound Studio with producer Chris Donaldson (Cryptopsy, The Last Felony, The Agonist) and is the first outing with new rhythm section, Olivier Pinard (Vengeful) on bass and Olivier Beaudoin (ex-Eternal Burden / Stareblind) on drums. The title 'Asylon' is the ancient Greek root of the modern word 'Asylum'. While not a concept record per say, a dark, psychological theme runs throughout the lyrics of the album, which showcases vocalist Alex Leblanc at his most dynamic and best yet, both in writing and in performance. The music itself also take the listener on a dark journey through the band's most vicious and brutal material yet, through more experimental, melodic and progressive tracks and finishes with an epic sense of ferocity.
