Band History

Early Years

The band has a long musical history with the projects leading to its creation starting as early as 1991 by the two brothers Georgy Georgiev and Rosen Georgiev. The initial project was called A.X.E. and was started in Montana, Bulgaria. It underwent a lot of lune-up using session members from a lot of the other metal and rock bands in the city.

2001-2004

In 2001 the band changed their name from A.X.E. to The A.X.E. Project and recorded their debut album Stories From A Twilight Realm Pt.I, which was released by the band themselves and marketed trough their website. The CD features 9 original songs and its radio single Mountain Queen, featuring both male and female vocal performances, received serious radio play in the radio stations from the area, which helped the band establish themselves. [http://axe.digispherium.com/main.php?lang=en&dest=disc Official Discography] The release was supported by a few gigs in the band's hometown. Additionally it received a 7/10 review from Pro-Rock Magazine. [ http://pro-rock.net/reviews Pro-Rock's Official Web Site - Review Section]

2005-present

At that point the band was still experiencing a lot of line-up changes so they started looking for a solid line-up that could carry out the recording of their new works. In the beginning of 2006 the band was ready with their next work - the demo EP Angles Without Wings, which is still not released to the public in order to aid the band in getting a record deal. What followed was getting the band on stage and their first appearance on stage since 2003 came in January 2007 when the band opened up for Evergrey and Stonegard in their shows in Sofia and Plovdiv. [ [http://www.4livepromotions.com/ 4live promotions Homepage ] ] More live shows and media appearances followed with the band visiting cities like Montana and Varna [ [http://scenata.com/band/684 Сцената » Изпълнител » The A.X.E. Project ] ] and playing two international open air festivals - BerkRock, Bulgaria [http://berkrock.dir.bg/ Official BerkRock Page] and Red Alert Open Air, Ukraine. [http://www.mhm-fest.com/ Official MHM Festival Page] At their BerkRock appearance the band was direct support for Brazen Abbot. [ http://www.snimka.bg/album.php?album_id=189074 Berkstock Independent Show Review] Until the end of 2007 the band played more club shows mainly in Sofia.
