The video was directed by Patric Ullaeus (Arch Enemy, Amorphis). Speaking about the song, vocalist Joel Ekelöf said:
“‘Axis‘ is about the moment when you start to notice that the roles you’re given don’t really belong to you. It’s about stepping beyond that distance we learn to live with, and remembering there’s something stronger underneath it. The fire is already there. The question is if we’re willing to stand closer and follow it together.”
Drummer Martin Lopez (ex-Opeth) also shared his thoughts on the track, adding:
“It’s a straight-up metal anthem for those of us who refuse to pretend that the people in power actually have our best interests at heart. A musical “fuck-you” to all of them.”
Keyboardist/guitarist Lars Åhlund also commented on the newly released video for the track, stating:
“The video keeps it as simple as it should be. Just us going hard, playing a song we love. It’s a rehearsal captured through the lens of the incredible Patric Ullaeus, and it feels exactly right for a track like ‘Axis.’”
