History Music / AxeMurderBoyz

AMB left after their sole Psychopathic release, continuing to release albums on their own label, Canonize. They had two releases on the Psychopathic subsidiary Hatchet House in 2008 and 2010 and one more in 2014 followed by a Young Wicked solo album the following year, but AMB had a massive falling out over Young Wicked's relationship with the daughter of Music/{{Jumpsteady}} (the girl is Violent J's niece). AMB ended up signing with Majik Ninja Entertainment, Music/{{Twiztid}}'s record label, which, along with the entire MNE label declining to appear at the Juggalo March, led to a falling out between ICP and Twiztid.

AMB's earlier recordings, particularly their Psychopathic releases, showed overt Horrorcore shock value, but overtime, they've gradually toned down the horror themes in favor of more straightforward Hip Hop lyrical themes and trying to be less of a "Horror Rap" act and more just straightforward Hip Hop, to the point where the meaning of their acronym is more of an ArtifactTitle.

[[XtremeKoolLetterz Axe Murder Boyz]] is a HipHop duo from Denver, Colorado consisting of brothers Otis aka Young Wicked (James Garcia) and Bonez Dubb (Mike Garcia), who record music in the {{Horrorcore}} and GangstaRap styles. Their stage personas are based on the movie ''Film/{{Frailty}}'', which is about "the God's hand killers", a father and his sons who murder people they believe are demons masquerading as humans, claiming to have been ordered to do so by God himself. The lyrics of AMB songs like "God's Hand Killers" and "The Demon" reference the movie, and Otis' stage name comes from the name carved on the axe at the end of the movie. Not all their lyrics are derived from the movie, though, and many of their songs can be very accessible-sounding with catchy melodies and memorable hooks. As their careers progressed, they went from often extremely gory, grotesque lyrics to much more toned down content far less focused on serial killer fantasies, with their more recent work showcasing a shift away from the horrorcore of their earlier lyrics. Their music is generally defined by having strong influences from West Coast hip hop, featuring elements of funk and soul in their music, although their album ''Blood In Blood Out'' also featured some RapRock tracks.

* GenreShift: "Scream My Name" starts off with a HipHop beat, then shifts into NuMetal for a bit. Towards the end, the guitars are still there, but less heavy, and there's another rap verse.
** Also, the beat of "See Thru" changes to a completely different, funkier hip hop style when Music/BlazeYaDeadHomie shows up to contribute his cameo verse.

* MotorMouth: Bonez has quite a few fast raps.
* SelfTitledAlbum: ''The Garcia Brothers'', if it ever gets released.

* XtremeKoolLetterz

* ShoutOut: Their name is a reference to a lyric from Music/InsaneClownPosse's song "Bring It On", in which Shaggy 2 Dope calls himself a "axe murder boy".

* {{Juggalo}}: AMB are considered to be the most successful and talented of the "Juggalo rappers" (ICP fans who started rap careers, and especially out of groups or duos who took their names from ICP lyrics; as a comparison, another "Juggalo rapper" duo, Dead Dirty Carnies, was significantly less successful, as AMB's success extended outside of the Juggalo community, while DDC are unknown outside of Juggalos, due to DDC's limited appeal to non-Juggalos, and AMB's West Coast hip hop-inspired sound crossing over to the general hip-hop community).

[[Music/InsaneClownPosse Violent J]] had high hopes for the duo, considering them to be "the future of Psychopathic Records" (along with another new artist signed by the label at the time, Music/{{Boondox}}).

** "Honor", which sounds like one of Music/SystemOfADown's gentler songs, except for the rapping.

** Same goes for "[[SanitySlippageSong God Only Knows]]", which is not as abrasive as some of their other songs, but still ''[[NightmareFuel creepy as hell]]'' and talks about murdering a woman, keeping her body at the murderer's house, having sex with her corpse and [[IAmAHumanitarian eating her flesh]].
