Adversity and a willingness to change are powerful forces, but they are not always enough on their own. This song explores the journey of breaking ourselves down—shedding destructive behaviors, ideas, and darkness—hoping to be rebuilt anew. The imagery of the forge, the hammer, and the heat speaks to the intense pressure and pain that can prepare us for transformation. Yet, even as we are honest with ourselves and confront our weaknesses, we come to realize our own limitations. True change often requires more than internal struggle; it demands that we reach beyond ourselves, seeking help, support, or inspiration from outside sources. Only then can the process of rebuilding become truly possible.

💿 AXAXC – Grateful

DISTORT. DISTRUST. DESTROY.

This album is warfare. A cinematic deathcore/nu-metal epic that rips from raw confession to cyberpunk prophecy, built on sludge-heavy chugs, melodic chaos, and truths you weren’t supposed to hear.

From the unflinching defiance of “Praise” and “MaZe”, through the cheeky venom of “Beloved Beast”, the core of this extended play burns brightest in the Losing Trilogy — Losing My Soul, Losing My Home, Losing My Code — a three-act battle for self, sanctuary, and identity in a world built to break you.

It doesn’t end there. “Mirror” and “The Mirror Lies” twist the blade deeper, while Requiem Aeternal editions reforge the heaviest moments into even darker shapes. It all collapses into the final transmission — “Wake Up, Neo.”. 

This your last chance to see the system for what it is. Wake Up. You have No Excuses.

This album is for the ones who’ve been misunderstood, marginalised, and underestimated.
It’s for the people who rage in private, who keep fighting even when no one’s watching.
If you’ve ever felt like the walls were closing in, this is your Album.

For fans of: #SleepToken, #BringMeTheHorizon, #LornaShore, #LinkinPark, #SlaughterToPrevail, #Architects.

King of deception you've backstabbed again  
Won’t wait till we cross paths 
 I'm on the hunt for you  
 I will come for you  
Revenge is it's own executioner  
The morality of this punishment  is mine to choose  
  
As I try to put the pieces back together 
 I am tormented by lies  
 I'm tortured by the demons that overwhelm my soul 
 They were escorted into my life because of you 
 Because of you 
  
Now! 
 This is the day that you'll always remember 
 A haunted future  
A faded past  
 You have no hope for a better tomorrow 
 Get on your knees  
 You better bow and pray  
Pray!  
You better bow and pray 
  
King of deception you've backstabbed again 
 Now I am here ever flowing with hatred   
You're the devil breathing down my neck getting in my head  
 No more! 
  
But an eye for an eye and this world would go blind  
An eye for an eye and this world will die  
 Eye for an eye!   
You now walk all alone as the ghost of darkness  
You are the choirs conductor of hate   
Weapon of poison and pain  

You will burn  
You will burn, 
Go! 
 You will burn  
King of deception you will burn  
King of deception  
Burn!
