| So I hear the new Zaxas is finally available ! For me though, I'm gonna wait a while as right now it is ONLY available in digital format. Anyone gonna support them and get the new one ? Anyone like / dislike Zaxas ?
I know for sure I eventually will add this to my collection as I LOVED their early works.

| I might just get the download as I don't have a copy of the first album on CD, either. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |

| I have never heard of them. Playing some of the songs now, sounds like a demo. Not bad at all how long have they been around? | |

| They did one self titled album back in 1995. This would be their 2nd album in 20 years. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |

| With that time span, you'd almost think they were a doom metal band It actually sounds pretty good. I'll have to see about getting this. | |

| I totally LOVE their first album, self titled from 1995. I own an original of that, but on mp3 only I have their 2 demos: 1989's "Red Tape" and 1992's "White Room Life". They offered free downloads (which I also have) from their new album clear back in 2011 - guess it took them 4 years to finally finish. That's ok, I assume the longer it takes, the better the album will be... we'll see. | |

| I have the S/T blue album and love it too. Some of the songs don't stick with me, but three or four are total top notch. I'll have a listen to their new stuff... _________________ My Christian Metal Website......... Silence Is Madness

| There's an LP from '91 by ZAXAS -only had 4 songs on it, but it has apparently become such a rare and sought after album, that people are getting $1,400 to 1,700 for this album !!! I SO wish I had a time machine.Check out this fully autographed one: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinyl/comments/2szrm8/zaxas_finding_a_diamond_in_your_own_collection/

| Wow, this bands sounds vet gaaf. I hope there will be a CD available soon. Listening to Zaxas songs right now. Maybe it's only me, but the voice of the vocalist sounds so familair. Am I nuts when I say this voice reminds to to the vocalist of Final Axe. If you think I'm nuts I'll move to the lunatic asylum. | |

There's some resemblance to Ronnie James Dio in Dale's vox. | |

| I could see the comparison to both Ronnie James and the guy from Final Axe.
I'd like to get the files from Zaxas and then tinker around with remastering them. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |

| That'd be cool to hear them remastered. I dig them already, but to hear them polished up a bit would be much nicer | |

| I have listened to about half of the songs, and find that the new Zaxas has a bit more of a straight up hard rock feel in places as opposed to the classic US power metal of the debut. I am waiting for a CD release for making a purchase. | |

| Sounds pretty good, don't know that I'd buy it (I'm pretty selective about what I get these days), but it sounds well written and produced. | |

| It sounds recorded and mixed well, but the mastering sounds weak. It reminds me in quality of the new one by The Brave. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |
