Biography

Axevyper is a creature born of the mind of Luca 'Fils' Cicero (vocals) and Guido Tiberi (guitars). After recording a completely home-made demo (later released on tape by Maxima Destruccion Records as "Revenge Of The Axe!"), they recruit Damiano 'La Favola' Michetti on guitars, Andrea 'Pandò' Tognetti on bass and Filippo 'Butch' Belli on drums and start hittin' the stages in Italy, finally releasing the self titled debut album for the Italian underground HM label My Graveyard Productions on September 2010 and an E.P. called "Angeli D'Acciaio", totally sung in Italian, on February 2011. Meanwhile, they play in many festivals in Italy and join the Heavy Metal Espectros Festival in Murcia, Spain for an unforgettable night of metal and passion.

On June 2011, due to musical reasons, Axevyper and drummer Filippo "Butch" Belli go on their separate ways. The new drummer they choose and welcome aboard is Andrea Torrini, a very talented and experienced drummer from Viareggio.

They record their second album called "Metal Crossfire" in the hot summer of 2011 and release it on February 2012; many live shows follow, opening in Italy for bands like Sacred Steel and Raven and sharing the stage with many friends like Walpurgis Night, Ruler, Sign Of The Jackal, Dexter Ward, Rosae Crucis and many others, ultimately flying to Athens, Greece, for the Up The Hammers Festival in March 2012, sharing the stage with heroes like Shok Paris and Cloven Hoof and many amazing newcomer bands like Lethal Saint or Evil-Lyn.

In 2014 they recruit a new drummer, Niccolò Vanni, already seen in Pronfnal and Devastator, and they prepare to record their third full-length... and for many more killer live shows that will make every true metalhead break his neck!
