Aerial Axe is here not to just make music, he’s telling the truth at full volume. His artistry can best be described as a visceral fusion of lived experience and musical defiance. He creates unfiltered, emotionally charged rock that wears its scars with pride. Drawing from a life marked by both chaos and clarity—from the rhythm of Chicago’s streets to the harsh cadence of military life and the dark corridors of addiction—his music is part catharsis, part commentary.
With his new jam dubbed “The Rock Stars!” Aerial’s signature style marries cinematic guitar work with a raw, satirical voice that challenges conventions, exposing the mythology of the “rock star” with biting honesty. With this jam, he erupts like a reckoning, supplemented by that infectiously good surge of energy that refuses to be background noise.
The jam begins with an undeniable guitar riff that immediately ingratiates itself with a listener and as soon as Aerial Axe shouts, “Haha, let’s go!,” you know you are in for a good, unforgettable ride. The jam has been built around thunderous guitar work, poundingly refreshing drums, and striking bass, setting the perfect backdrop for Aerial’s unmistakable vocals as he operates somewhere between death metal and crisp rock.
His delivery is anthemic as he delivers the hard-hitting reality of the so called ‘rock stars,’ whose lives behind the scenes aren’t as glamorous as they seem to be portrayed. The haunting energy the jam exudes is in brilliant contrast to its somewhat deep and sad reality of rock stars, most of whom battle emotional turmoil, addiction, mental scars that ultimately lead to their downfall.
“The Rock Stars!” is a brilliant depiction of that harsh reality of many celebs who find themselves succumbing to outside pressure and how people are perceived to see them, maintaining that ‘rock star’ image, even at the expense of their own physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
You get a banger to rock to in full-blast volume as the depth of lyrics leave you reflecting on false reality being sold out here. Maybe you could be the next big rock star and you’ll need to carry the lessons along the way.
