Speaking about the project, Andrey Smirnov comments:
“Classic heavy metal will always have its place in the modern world—it can never become outdated. With AXE & ASHES, my goal is to preserve the spirit of the bands I grew up with while bringing that sound into the present through modern production and a clear artistic vision.

I’ve learned from some of the best musicians in the genre, and I’m putting all that experience into this band—from songwriting and music production to the visual identity and overall concept.”

With “Stand and Fight” out now, AXE & ASHES continue to build momentum and solidify their position as a band to watch in the global metal scene.
