Wucan - Axioms (2025) [Hi-Res]

In short: the job is done. After a three-year creative process, heavy rock band Wucan have produced 'Axioms', a new album that showcases the band’s characteristic artistic ingenuity while continuing the transformation first hinted at on the latest album 'Heretic Tongues' – and pushing those ideas even further.

As is well known, true art is characterized above all by its 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, Wucan demonstrate their capacity for artistic evolution with their new 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' (2022) – 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 Tobolsky 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.”
