Axxis have announced Alex Landenburg as the new drummer in the group. Commented on the band's official site:

"It took a long time?but now the search for a new drummer is over. Alex Landenburg is the new Axxis drummer. Due to the high number of applications of some really great drummers, it was not an easy choice for the Axxis guys to be made.

Harry Oellers (keyboards): "We were really spoilt for choice this time, with the level of the drummers being top notch, and it wasn't easy for us to turn the others down. With some of them we will keep in touch for other projects though."

Bernhard Weiß (vocals): "The shows we got to play with Alex were a lot of fun for us! He's a great guy and he just fits us both musically and personality wise! I'm looking forward to the next production where his drumming will add a new twist to our songs!"

Marco Wriedt (guitars): "I'm very happy that Alex is the new Axxis Drummer. Since Gig one with Alex, I'm pretty amazed by his talents and his attitude. I'm already looking forward to the new Axxis Production where we can show how powerful and diverse this new Axxis-Line Up is. Let's unleash the fury Alex!!"

Alex Landenburg who is known for his work with bands like Mekong Delta, At Vance or Annihilator is very much looking forward to his new duty in Axxis!

Alex comments: "I'm absolutely excited to be the new drummer for Axxis! The spirit in this band and also between the band members is amazing, and it's just plain fun to share a stage with these guys! I'm looking forward to the next Axxis record and upcoming shows and as usual I'm ready to give a 100%, both live and in studio.

I'd also like to take the opportunity to say thanks to the Axxis fans, for the heartfelt way I was welcomed by you guys and gals during the last shows! See you all on the road!"
