The foundation was laid in the cold autumn, in November 2007. Two friends, Dionis and Andrei, who had previously played in various punk bands, decided to start a band, the concept of which was to put all their emotions, views and ideals in the music, convey them to the listener, and also to go beyond the music and give all possible help to those who need it. Later the group added another member Vova. And Axidance started its path. In 2008 they released their first material, which was recorded at the rehearsal on a tape recorder. The record was copied on a small number of cd's and cassettes, the money from the sales was collected for the assistance funds for victims of the war in South Ossetia. A couple of gigs was played and the band broke up.

In 2009 they get together again, a new singer Anastasia joins the band, and the band begins preparing the material for splits with bands E123, Ground Zero and Catastrofe. The split with russian bands e123 and Ground Zero was in support of the orphanage. The money has been spent on necessary things. The second split with the Peruvian band Catastrofe was made spontaneously. Bands were communicating and decided to release their new songs together. But all this was delayed due to various problems and lack of finances. There was a long break. Dionis went to travel to cities and stayed in St. Petersburg to live in the squat. At some picnic he met with Ilya, who become an Axidance bass player in future. Later Andrei left the band too. A longtime friend Sergei was invited to replace him, the former drummer for such bands as Emancipation, Pan Zlobek, Fatum and Edens Demise, and current drummer of Unkind Revolt. And with the new line-up the path was continued. In a trip to Karelia a guitarist of Ground Zero Sergei travelled with the band and a bit later he became a second guitarist of Axidance. Next, the songs for two splits were recorded. A 3-way split with E123 and Ground Zero was released in late 2009.
In march, 2010 a split CD with Catastrofe came out on russian label They live! records and on the label from Malaysia Corerockmoon records. The band took a break for winter and spring. After this they started working on new material and in the summer the band went on russian tour. In Autumn Anastasia left the band due to personal reasons. But there comes Ksenia and brings a piano to the music. She participates in one recording but then she is getting more and more away from the project and on next recording all the keys are played by Sergiy, the drummer. But on live shows the band plays without synth accompaniment. Many concerts were played and a new record was done. In March 2011 a split with the Ukrainian group Заводь was released. CD comes out on Иакх Records And Black Cardinal Records and tape is done by They live! records. Split was released in support of the anarchist black cross, the proceeds were donated to its fund.
The band prepares for a big tour in Russia and Belarus and releases a compilation album The Road Breathes Cold in its support. The album comes out on CD and gets posted for free download. Later the tape edition of the album comes out. But unfortunately the tour is cancelled because of the problems with documents. For all this time Axidance also works on two splits: with Czech band Gattaca and a 4-way with Abyssal, Doomsday and Rivers Run Dry. In late 2011 the 4-way split comes out on CD. Anastasia returns to the band and participates in recording of the material for split with Gattaca. In December 2011 a small number of shows were played, after which the bass player Ilya went to live in India for half a year so our friend Vyacheslav, also the drummer for Crucified By The Sun, replaces him for this period. In the beginning of 2012 the split with Gattaca comes out on LP, tape and CD.
