Axis of Advance was a death metal band from Canada that formed in 1998 and dissolved in 2008. The band was formerly known as Sacramentary Abolishment, until drummer Paulus Kressman left the band. Kressman went on to form another death metal band called Rites of Thy Degringolade and currently plays drums in the black metal band Weapon.

Axis of Advance consisted of three members: guitarist/vocalist Wör, bassist/vocalist Vermin and drummer J. Read, who is classified as a session member despite his position of being apparently permanent.

Vermin also plays session guitars in J. Read's main band Revenge and was involved in Weapon for a short period of time.
