Axxis' musical roots lie within the traditional heavy rock of the 70s and 80s, and have founded their own style that is oriented around hooks like "Living In A World", a mainstay of their live setlists. Bemhard's unique vocal style is another characteristic trademark of the band. Axxis' major ambition is "to be a pure Rock n' Roll band".
