LILLIAN AXE – Lillian Axe [Rock Candy remastered & reloaded]

Two of the most underrated – but widely respected – releases of the late ‘80s were undoubtedly the first pair of albums by New Orleans-based hard rock outfit LILLIAN AXE. Now Rock Candy Records have provided their ‘Remastered & Reloaded‘ treatment to them shaped from 24 BIT digital technology.
The band’s self-titled debut, 1988’s “Lillian Axe” is just a killer rockin’ record, and has been immensely benefited by this fresh remaster.
The late ’80s were a golden time for hard rock, especially in North America. Bands were getting signed by the bucket load. Radio and MTV was full of the sound of a musical revolution whilst concert halls were packed to the rafters with fans who just couldn’t get enough of wild guitars, wailing vocals and shout-it-out-loud songs.
On paper, Lillian Axe had everything going for them – hooks, looks and enough energy to power a nation…

LILLIAN AXE – Out Of The Darkness Into The Light [Music On CD reissue 2018]

Originally released in 1991 and never reissued until now, specialized Dutch label Music On CD has been made available again LILLIAN AXE’s “Out Of The Darkness / Into The Light”.
After turning up the heat with the release of their second album Love + War, it appeared as if Lillian Axe was poised to kick ass on the hair band front. “Out Of The Darkness / Into The Light”, pulls together songs from the group’s self-titled debut and the aforementioned Love + War.
Indeed, “Out Of The Darkness / Into The Light” was a record label move to capitalize the success of Lillian Axe second album, and put this compilation with songs from the band’s previous album.
However, it wasn’t an executives plan only, as lead vocalist Ron Taylor and guitarist Stevie Blaze were involved and personally selected the tracks for “Out Of The Darkness / Into The Light”.
