Description
The Box Volume Two: The Quickening is a sprawling six-disc deep dive into the modern era of Lillian Axe, documenting the band's output from 2010 onward while expanding the narrative with archival material, demos, and live recordings. More than a retrospective, this set captures the evolution of a band that moved beyond its '80s hard rock roots into a darker, more progressive and emotionally driven sound, led by the songwriting vision of Steve Blaze.
Across its extensive runtime, the collection pulls together key studio-era material alongside the long-sought-after Fields Of Yesterday demo recordings and the full two-disc acoustic live album One Night In The Temple. The result is a multifaceted portrait of the band--balancing polished studio compositions with raw, intimate reinterpretations and a wealth of rare and previously unreleased tracks. Songs like "The Quenching Of Human Life," "Sad Day On Planet Earth," and "The Great Divide" highlight the band's heavier, introspective direction, while acoustic and live renditions reveal a more nuanced, stripped-down dynamic.
Disc by disc, the set moves between eras and formats: studio cuts, alternate versions, live performances recorded in New Orleans, and acoustic reinterpretations that reframe familiar material. Standout moments include multiple versions of "Nobody Knows," live takes of "All's Fair In Love And War" and "Ghost Of Winter," and deeper catalog pieces like "Babylon," "Bow Your Head," and "Waters Rising." The inclusion of crowd versions, alternate recordings, and expanded arrangements gives longtime fans a detailed look at how the band's material has evolved over time.
With over four hours of music, The Box Volume Two: The Quickening serves as both an essential archive and a comprehensive listening experience, offering dedicated fans an unprecedented amount of material while showcasing the enduring creativity and reinvention of Lillian Axe in the 21st century.
