As is well known, true art is characterized above all by it's constant renewal - a combination of the tried and tested with the innovative. Like nearly all influential acts in music history who have followed this golden rule, Dresden-based Wucan demonstrate their capacity for artistic evolution with their latest album, Axioms. On Axioms, the four-piece heavy rock outfit led by frontwoman Francis Tobolsky blends the distinctive elements of their previous studio records - Sow The Wind (2015), Reap The Storm (2017), and Heretic Tongues (2023) - with fresh ideas, resulting in a broader stylistic range and a more clearly defined conceptual approach. In other words: while the band continues to reference hard rock, krautrock, East German rock, and metal, the eight new tracks are also infused with touches of progressive rock, isolated electronic elements, and a playful jazz attitude. Or as Francis aptly puts it: The foundation of our music is international 70s hard rock enriched by contemporary influences - this time with even more bombast, brutality, and complexity. Spectres of Fear, Irons in the Fire, Wicked Sick and Twisted, Ktnsax, Holz Auf Holz, Pipe Dreams, Axioms, Fountain of Youth
