On August 19, 2022, Louisiana Hard Rock act LILLIAN AXE are set to release their most ambitious studio album to date. From Womb To Tomb is the band’s first studio album in 10 years. It’s part autobiographical, part conceptual, and all Rock and Roll.
Earlier this year, LILLIAN AXE signed a deal with Global Rock Records which saw the re-release of most of the band’s back catalog on music streaming services, plus a physical and digital anthology, Psalms for Eternity.
From Womb To Tomb is an impressive start from this newly formed partnership. I had the chance to speak with LILLIAN AXE guitarist and founder Steve Blaze ahead of the album’s release.
Highlights include:
-What the band has been up to since their last studio album
-From Womb to Tomb having a theme, but not a concept album
-Discovering new vocalist Brent Graham
-Recruiting drummer Wayne Stokely
-Touring with RIOT ACT in the UK
-Balancing new material with classics
-Signing with Global Rock Records
-Importance of having back catalog available
-35th anniversary of their self-titled debut
-Being inducted twice into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame
-And much, much more
