The band was formed in 1998 and was formerly known as '''Sacramentary Abolishment'''. The band changed their name to '''Axis of Advance''' after drummer Paulus Kressman left the band. Axis of Advance was originally suppose to be the title of Sacramentary Abolishment's third album. The band considered J. Read to be a session member because they could not imagine anyone else drumming for them even though his drumming position was apparently permanent.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.battlezine.com/interviews/Axis_of_Advance/axis_of_advance.html|access-date=2013-07-19|title=Interview with Vermin / Axis of Advance|publisher=BATTLE zine|archive-date=2016-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304141103/http://www.battlezine.com/interviews/Axis_of_Advance/axis_of_advance.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The band released their first [[Extended play|EP]], ''Landline'' in April 1999.
