Florida metalcore band Axis just announced that they have signed to Mayfly Records, and will be releasing a new album with them late this Fall or early Winter. The record will be tracked by Spencer Mattlin at Dino Rock Recordings, while it will be mixed by Taylor Young of The Pit. As Young is the mixer behind such bands as Incendiary, Xibalba and Twitching Tongues, you should know Axis is in good hands.

On top of announcing their signing with Mayfly Records, Axis also released a demo of a new song, “Discouraged,” which will be a part of their new record that comes out this Fall. That song, as well as their upcoming Summer tour dates, are after the break.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Axis, the band plays 90s-influenced metalcore, in the same vein of bands like Harvest and Shai Hulud. They most recently released a split with Self Defense Family, and if those songs are any indicator of the quality of this upcoming release, you can expect one of the hell of a record.

Check out “Discouraged” and Axis’ tour dates below. Make sure you have some clearance in your cubicle/bedroom/current location, ’cause you’re going to be moshing.
