In 1990 The band began its life as a three piece hard rock / heavy metal band known as IGNITE. They worked hard on the local scene and supported acts such as The Party Boys and Mortification.  In 1995 an American punk band of the same name ÏGNITE" toured Australia and with major label backing the local band didn't have a chance. The clash and confusion of the names became a major hurdle of which the Australian band buckled under the pressure. The original line up was no longer able to maintain momentum and was to see a change of line up.
The new line up worked for  a short period as IGNITE but evolved into the 1st line up under the new name of DRAXSEN.  DRAXSEN was now a 4 piece and moved onto a heavier and darker shade of Hard Rock / Heavy Metal.
It was during the new faze under the name of DRAXSEN, was to see the band to collapse as the lead singer bassist Legion was involved in a serious accident leaving him with a permanent spinal injury.
Fast forward to 2010 and Legion revived the band with S.D.Harris and Trommeslag. Chronic Pain was released and the recovery of Legion was taking place using the medium of music.  
The band has been stable in the following years and have released 6 more albums Where The Darkness Screams, Vicious Felony, %100 Pain,
Forbidden Passions , Terrortory and The Black Dog. The last release of DRAXSEN was the "EP" Portrait
The new line up that works under the artist name of Mournful Lust is as follows:-
Andrew Cornale (Guitar)
Ben Mounsey (Lead Guitar)
Zac Garland (Drums)
Legion Draxsen (Bass and Vocals)
