Crucified Disciple is the creation of Johnathan Gassaway, a modern metal artist blending the cold precision of industrial sound with the emotional weight of human struggle.
Born from frustration, faith, and rebellion, the project embodies the collision between machine and soul — a reflection of a world where identity is digitized, belief is branded, and humanity fights to remember what it means to feel.

The debut concept album, Σταυρωμένος Μαθητής (Crucified Disciple), tells the story of a man who defies a system built on obedience and control — only to become the spark that frees it.
Across ten interconnected tracks, Gassaway builds a world of metallic rhythm, ambient decay, and lyrical catharsis, where faith and fury are indistinguishable.

Drawing inspiration from artists like Gojira, Nine Inch Nails, Fear Factory, and Tool, Crucified Disciple transforms modern metal into something cinematic, spiritual, and deeply personal.
Each song functions as both narrative and mirror — confronting the listener with their own reflection inside the noise.

At its core, Crucified Disciple isn’t just about rebellion.
It’s about the resilience of the human spirit — the refusal to let the world, the machine, or even God define who we are.
