Speaking of the song frontman Joel Ekelöf shared:
“‘Axis’ is about the moment when you start to notice that the roles you’re given don’t really belong to you. It’s about stepping beyond that distance we learn to live with, and remembering there’s something stronger underneath it. The fire is already there. The question is if we’re willing to stand closer and follow it together.”
Drummer Martin Lopez offered:
“It’s a straight-up metal anthem for those of us who refuse to pretend that the people in power actually have our best interests at heart. A musical ‘fuck-you’ to all of them.”
Of the video for the track keyboardist/guitarist Lars Åhlund said:
“The video keeps it as simple as it should be. Just us going hard, playing a song we love. It’s a rehearsal captured through the lens of the incredible Patric Ullaeus, and it feels exactly right for a track like ‘Axis’.”
