Once the most controversial and prolific experimental group in NW Ohio. Axstasy proved to be the leading edge in the psychedlic and metal scene, releasing the most extraordinary recordings ever. Axstasy was an outlet of experimention, to express wide margins of topics and ideas, their unique and stylistic approach has become a vital influence among original and experimental music, by which they made their trademark. Axstasy has nothing to do with trends nor cliques or teeny poop music, more to do with insightful creative music that can be described as angry, melodic, seductive, and abrasive. Axstasy has an amazing passion for music, the escape you feel in pounding kicks, melodic company to trance the listener's ears, yearniing for more. If you can't feel it with this group's music, you are certainly deaf beyond repair. The forum of this group allows each musician to collaborate enabling them to broaden their interpretations and expressions. We would like to express to our listeners the ability to have a focused visual or interpretation (s) of the music or compositions (s) that are preformed, by doing so, we are better understood musically and visally, and our listeners can relate and expand their individualistic view. Our objective: is devoted to the art of music and the experimentation of sound by Expressing every emotion and imagery to each song and project. Free the mind...enjoy. Formed in 1992 by James "Ace" Levy and releasing 11 CDs until 2006, the group formerly known as Axstasy has since been disbanded. During it's vital; and prominent run covering NW Ohio, the group had a strong following among young and viral minded listeners. The bands down fall was the larger and volatile corporate business, which suffocated the industry and left Indie labels to decay and die. Though Axstasy's success was admirable they were not strong enough to overcome such a meager demise.
