Aexylium band was born in Varese (Italy) in 2014 by trying to combine the typical sound of traditional instruments (Bagpipes, Flute, Violin) with the modern one of Metal music (Guitars, Drums, Bass, Keyboards).
They have been working together to create something different from their previous musical experiences and soon the group grew in number. Being inspired by the main artists of the genre such as Eluveitie, Korpiklaani, Alestorm, Folkstone, they chose Folk Metal as their new sound.
The band consists of eight members.
Aexylium played for the first time at Dumeltica International Music Festival in 2015; the feedback was positive and they successfully managed to play in other important gigs such as Malpaga Folk & Metal, Rock Inn Somma, Druidia and Strigarium in the following years.
In July 2016 they released their first self-produced EP which is titled “The Blind Crow“ and contains 3 songs. In the same year, the track “The blind crow” was included in “Mister Folk Compilation IV”.
In December 2017 they finished recording the new album, mixed and recorded by Davide Tavecchia at Twilight Studio and mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio.
So far, Aexylium have shared the stage with many others band: Wind Rose, Nervosa, Furor Gallico, Atlas Pain, Celtica Pipes Rock, Kanseil, Ephyra, Holy Shire, MaterDea, etc.
