Liam Cormier, frontman of Canadian hardcore outfit Cancer Bats, has revealed that his new supergroup side-project AxeWound could be sticking around for longer than he previously thought - as the band are ‘having such a good time’ together.
The British-Canadian band, which consists of Bullet for my Valentine frontman Matt Tuck, Rise to Remain bass player Joe Copcutt, Pitchshifter sticksman Jason Bowld, and Glamour of the Kill star Mike Kingswood, release their debut album ‘Vultures’ on October 1st - but it seems like the band may remain together for at least another couple of records.
Speaking to NME, Cormier said: “I'm stoked that record's going to come out. I'm pumped it's worked out the way it has. I'm going to be touring solidly with Cancer Bats, but I'm so excited to get on the road with AxeWound.
“It's really fun because it's so different, it's like having an alter ego, a super metal alter ego. I get to do things I'd never do with Cancer Bats, like wear camouflage shorts on stage and a flipped up hat and be the thrash guy. I didn't know anybody other than Matt in the band before I joined, but they're all so nice.”
He continued: “It feels like a bunch of friends hanging out, we get really giddy whenever we do anything. I definitely see it continuing beyond this record. We all get along so well and we're having such a good time. We'll do it whenever we got time. It's very relaxed, we'll do it whenever we've got time.”
