THE AXEMEN SERIES : Adam Weber / Infex

Having grown up during the Thrash Metal heyday and listening to genre pioneers like Exodus, Kreator, Destruction, Slayer, Dark Angel and such, along with old-school hardcore influences like Discharge, Attitude Adjustment, Cryptic Slaughter, DRI, and Excel; Infex blends the styles of all these and more bands into a raw outpouring of aggression and anger.

Infex was formed in 2010 by Jack and Phil, who met via criagslist while searching for others with similar interests. At their early jam sessions the beer and the riffs flowed freely and songs started to take shape fairly quickly. In 2011 after jamming with several drummers with mostly dissapointing results, the two met drummer Corey, who stylistically fit in from the get go. A few months and several bass players later Dave came on board to round out the lineup and the band started playing shows.

  

In late 2012, Phil stepped down from the band to focus on his family, and Infex soldiered on as a three piece, while searching for a suitable replacement. Finally in early 2014, Infex recruited Derek from the ashes of Bay Area Thrash youngsters Dizastor. This lineup lasted for a year, until Derek moved on to pursue other musical interests. Not faltering, Infex took some time off from the local scene to begin recording their sophomore release, and in that process ended up recruiting Aaron McCoy on lead guitar.

Infex continued to sharpen their teeth in 2016 and 2017, culminating with a western US Tour supporting crossover thrash legends D.R.I. as well as performing alongside Bay Area godfathers Exodus as part of their (Exo's) two-night residency at iconic SF venue The Chapel in the mission district "Crushing the Chapel"

In September 2017, Aaron abruptly left the band, and Infex went on hiatus for the rest of the year.

  

Flash-forward to 2019. Infex Recruited Adam Weber (Embryonic Devourment, Mummification, Idolatry) on lead guitar and RC Morton-Maystein (Cutthroat Conspiracy) on Bass and have begun writing new material and playing local shows, with the hopes of a new album and tour on the horizon
