As the melodic rock band Axminster, they played on the stage with Extreme, Twisted Sister, Molly Hatchet and Lita Ford in the long-haired eighties. Steve Sera (vocals), Benny Fiorentino (guitars), Mike Lamm (drums) and Danny Calan (bass) had all the chances to become superstars, but… four musicians is too much for the epoch of minimalism, that came in 90-th. And as the most others, Axminster didn’t survive the grunge revolution.
Ktd is not only the reborn band, it’s also a new point of view, a new philosophy; more mature, more thoughtful, deeper… Fans compare their new effort with the classic rock, that reminds of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Dream Theater. | |
It’s good old rock’n’roll! You may call it melodic rock, but I’d label it as a hard rock with the melodic inputs a la the eighties. It’s coming into the limelight again; so this album hits the time.
The verified melodic lines, the laborious arrangement, the hard rock vocals and the guitar voyages a la Michael Schenker and Slash (yes, all in all “Territory” has something in common with “In Trance” of Scorpions, UFO’s “Obsession” and the new “Contraband” of Velvet Revolver) – it’s all makes this cd a titbit for the music fans.
