Axioma

Harvest time has come/ join and wake the lifeless/ veins retract in wait/ regenerate, replenish/ severed like bone through flesh/ the silence overwhelms/ embraced by misconception/ reflection grows besetting/ a hunger yet resolved/ perverse in its vision/ such a sinister beauty/ such a bountiful host/ such methods most unsound/ eternal stains of lives once lived/ intrinsic desire/ countless visions of splattered days/ blood ruminations

Axioma – Sepsis Review Angry Metal Guy

06/22/2022

The biggest reason why Sepsis attains a high level of success lies in the oppressive, suffocating, and intangible vibe it manages to sustain throughout all seven tracks. From the opening salvo of “Blood Ruminations” all the way through to the violent trance-like pummeling of closer “A New Dark Age,” Axioma deftly weaves in-and-out of rhythms and riffs like a veteran prize fighter, stopping on a dime to pull an already downtrodden and defeated atmosphere further into the earth.

New Noise Magazine Sepsis Review

Via their sophomore release, Cleveland’s Axioma is becoming a standout in the developing subgenre of dissonant metal. How Sepsis undoubtedly turns heads is through its crafty mingling of death metal, black metal, sludge, doom, and post-metal elements. This 7-track full-length paints not only a disturbing picture with its multi-layered atmospheric offerings but also a transportational one, whisking the listener to tormenting dimensions. - Michael Centrone

There’s an atypical oppressive atmosphere on Sepsis that’s infectious in its insidious effects. It draws you in whether you want it to or not, immersing you in ridged and jagged landscapes of huge riffs, harsh vocals, and macabre mood.

Axioma reflect on survival amid pestilence with gargantuan face masher ‘Sepsis’

Cleveland’s Axioma might dabble in the darkest of metallic arts, but they also have noticed the will of the human durability amid the worst of times, and that spills over on their thunderous second record “Sepsis.”
