"As the album goes on, however, it is clear that Wax has his own sound and to me becomes something like a heavy metal Mike Patton (I love Mike Patton), with all of his vocal acrobatics. In every song, the layering of the vocals is genius and adds a great deal to the impressive feel of the album. These songs are fully realized. Some of them sound a bit like Bad Religion to me and share some of the same biting content, though unlike Bad Religion, it’s hard to pinpoint where Wax is coming from religiously." - Prism Reviews

"He is a source of sounds and I have the feeling that we have just started to deal with him. Have a nice trip!" - Noizy.gr

"'Victorious' hits the ground running. It is a pressure builder, a song that weaves its way through the careful catacombs of the listener’s mind.
The vocals soar and jump through, turning the screws and pressing in hard.” - The Median Man

"‘Mobocracy’ is certainly an interesting release. Short and sweet, it is a curious piece of work which echoes Devin on more than one occasion. I still don’t know the answer. Who the fuck is Wax Mekanix? It may be worth leaving this veteran artist have the final words. 'History shows us that artists will not let this kind of tectonic shift in American life pass without comment. I’m just commenting now.'" - The Razors Edge

"You may not know who Wax Mekanix is at first but come the end, you won’t be forgetting him anytime soon." - Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

"Bridging an estranged divide between folk music, hair metal, country, hard rock, and countless others, this album literally satisfies every taste you could have. The drums are perfectly crispy, my god, slapping you in the face with each demanding assault of the drummer’s blows. The cymbals holding down the groove and providing an airy mystique to the entire track. The guitar tones are bright, full of endless clarity, enticing you to succumb to their emotional pull-tossing you back and forth at their every whim via the highly intensive songwriting and production decisions made!" - Legion of Solace

"If you look at this release, which contains six songs, you have to say that there is actually something for everyone. A nice mix of genres that can please." - Tough Magazine

"It’s unashamedly old-school, classic rock with an experimental, avantgarde twist; syncopated, eastern rhythms mix with time honored hard rock riffage to form an overblown, bombastic metal spectacular." - Powerplay Magazine


Waxim “Wax” Ulysses Mekanix is an American musician, songwriter, performer, producer, painter, photographer, and founding member of American cult rockers Nitro. Wax’s vetted perspective and tested work can best be described as raw, bold, uncompromising, authentic, and disconcerting.

Hindsight is always 20/20. Wax Mekanix has been clear-eyed, and some say, prescient, during recent unprecedented times. By popular demand, Electric Talon Records is proud to present ‘Mobocracy Deluxe’ to help bring into focus, on one compact disc, Wax’s unique take on the state of America, and the world for 2020 and 2021.

This exclusive and limited release will include:

* Six tracks from Wax’s searing and snarling Grammy-balloted debut Mobocracy (2020)

* Two tracks from the sonic-shifting, thunderously exotic, organic, tribal split with Troll Teeth, Blunt (2021)

* Alternate mixes of 2 fan-favorite tracks

* Early working demos of 2 compositions

* A rare and unreleased track that Wax wrote for Mobocracy, but has remained in the vault until now. Not 1, but 2 stunningly-different takes that illustrate his approach to songcraft.

* A new music video for the track “Freak Boutique”

As Wax scans the horizon and carves out new songs for his upcoming releases, Mobocracy Deluxe will offer audiences a pause for reflection and renewed perspective on what has come to pass and what may come. Mobocracy Deluxe will be available in the CD & digital formats October 28th, 2022 exclusively through Electric Talon Records
