Pull the trigger NoW. - pt. 3

Age of the Apes explores the tragic trajectory of humanity — from primal origins to self-inflicted destruction. It is a stark reflection on evolution not as progress, but as an unending cycle of violence, power, and decay. This album questions the myth of “survival of the fittest” and unmasks it as a ruthless ideology that justifies cruelty and dominance.

From the first upright step of the ape to the devastating consequences of war, technology, and greed, it holds a mirror to our collective psyche and societal failures. It reveals the paradox of human intellect and brutality — how the crown of civilization is often forged with the blood of the weak.

Drawing on the shadows of history and the whispers of nature’s wrath, Age of the Apes warns: evolution without empathy is a path to inevitable collapse.

“Man is the cruelest animal.” — Friedrich Nietzsche
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” — Stephen Hawking
“We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in — standing still inside.” — Charlie Chaplin

This is an urgent call to confront who we truly are before the last chapter closes.

Concept & Lyrics: Sascha Häusler 

Age of the Apes

Cursed and Crowned is a relentless journey through spiritual battle, redemption, and raw emotion. Inspired by the heaviness of Bullet for My Valentine and the cinematic depth of modern metalcore, it blends crushing breakdowns, soaring clean choruses, and lyrics that confront the darkness head-on while pointing to the light. From the haunting “Graveheart” to the anthemic title track, every song bleeds passion, pain, and the victory found in surrender.



Hearts Like Shrapnel

💿 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.
