AXXIS Parts Ways With Guitarist, Seeks Replacement

December 20, 2006

Guitarist Guido Wehmeyer has left the German metallers AXXIS. According to a posting on the group's web site, "The band did know his decision since September 2006 and wanted to say thanks for the great time, the great productions and the wonderful gigs with him. For AXXIS it's not an easy situation but everybody accepted Guido's plan for his own future. In Karlsruhe/Germany was the last gig with him and AXXIS presented a large cake for their long-time colleague during their private party. The goodbye was not easy ...you can see it on the pics. The band tries to find a good alternative and if someone thinks that he's able to do this job he can sent and mail with bio and fotos to [email protected]."

EMI Electrola released the "Best Of" album from AXXIS on November 17.

EMI Electrola originally asked AXXIS for its co-operation in releasing a "best of" collection from the band several years ago, but the group was reluctant to release a compilation of material that was already available on the market.

Featuring previously unreleased material, remixed songs, and special acoustic versions of older tracks recorded earlier this year at Soundworxx studio, "Best Of" is a double CD containing ballads on the first disc and acoustic recordings on the second disc.
