Upcoming Release:
Toronto-based heavy metal trio AxMinister is gearing up for the release of their fifth studio EP, "vir fortis", in May 2023. The record is a three-track masterpiece that draws lyrical inspiration from the likes of Vlad The Impaler and Napoleon, and promises to deliver epic riffs and stories. The first single, "Vlad the Impaler... Forests of Impalement", tells the story of the Romanian hero's love for impalement, while the EP also includes two songs about Napoleon Bonaparte, painted by the band's drummer, Bas.
AxMinister's goal with "vir fortis" is to educate fans on history, self-improvement, and the ecclesiastical realm, reminding them that great men have come before them and that there is something greater than themselves. Fans of Megadeth, Manowar, and Judas Priest are encouraged to check out the EP, which drops on May 11, 2023.

“From the drop of the first note, AxMinister pull their ax from stone, brandishing it mightily and powerfully as they dish out shredding sharpened riff after sharpened riff. Thrown in to the mix are face melting solos as well as ever present charging drumming as well as very solid very infectious vocals. Each of the five tracks present within this release are woven together well to provide you with a cohesive and well rounded sound that you will have a hard time getting out of your head. With The Crucible Of Sin, AxMinister gift you with five highly addictive and highly entertaining tracks that you keep coming back to.” – Cadaver Garden (2018)
"this EP (The Crucible of Sin) is just some good ol' fashioned beer and pretzels Heavy Metal in the vein of bands like Manowar" - Metalcrypt (2018)
“The Crucible of Sin is a great thrash/traditional metal album, showing strong influences from Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica to full effect.” – Hellbound (2018)
“an exciting piece of Thrash Metal. It has a unique touch to it that allows the EP to be memorable, whilst the guitars make it very enjoyable.” – Noizze UK (2018)
“The stair-step cultural guitar to snare combinations for “The Trials of Hercules” brings out the Manowar fan in us all – while the speedy double kick locomotive aspects to closer “Sanctus Equitus Mortis” surely keep the ears pinned for a closer…It’s clear that you have a solid set of musicians and keen songwriting abilities – so if you want something a bit more dramatic and adventurous in your thrash airings, AxMinister could be that difference maker for you.” – Dead Rhetoric (2018)
