LILLIAN AXE has had the release date of its first new studio album in nearly fifteen years (and first for the Metro City Records label),titled "Waters Rising", pushed back to July 17 from the previously announced June 19. The CD's title cut is now available for streaming at this location (second song in audio player).

"This album has been conceptually in the works for years," explained guitarist Steve Blaze. "'Waters Rising' represents the boiling point factor, that life seems to be a tumultuous ride always on the brink of explosion. These recent times on this planet seem to be proving this point. However, in each individual is the point where you reconcile this within your spirit and peace takes over allowing you to cope more effectively. The songs on this record cover the different ways that we deal with this factor and the fact that everyone is trying to make sense of it."
