“Fractured Path” marks the first cracks in the journey. After the group departs safety, shadows begin to close in and the Ring’s presence weighs heavier with each step. 

This is not yet open conflict, but the unraveling has begun—inside the heart of the one who carries the burden.

The song follows that inner descent: isolation, paranoia, and the feeling of being cut off even while surrounded by others. 

The riffs grind like footsteps on stony ground, the melodies twist with doubt, and the atmosphere collapses into silence—echoing the haunting realization that this path may be one the hero must walk alone.

This track stands as both a warning and a prelude, a moment where fate bends but does not yet break.

Fractured Path

So, in the process of trying to homogenize all our songs for our debut album, Fragmentation, we may have made the mistake of fixing a few songs that weren't broken. A huge one was The Tinman. While the album version blended well with the feel of the album, it honestly just never hit home as hard as the original version did. So after some fan feedback, we're releasing the original version. Enjoy!

The TInman (Original)

 Wake Beneath the Cross is a post-hardcore concept album that fuses Christian faith with Lovecraftian dread, unfolding across a cursed coastal town lost to ancient darkness. Through haunting lyrics and explosive instrumentation, the album follows a cliffside poet, a redeemed foreigner, and shipwrecked sailors as they confront demonic forces, ancestral idols, and the cost of salvation.

 Each track is a chapter in their spiritual war—lamenting long voyages through profane lands, breaking tribal curses, and ultimately facing a final choice: escape on the last ship, or stay and fight for a town that may already be lost. With themes of redemption, sacrifice, and divine defiance, the album ends on a cliffhanger, leaving the fate of the town—and the souls within—up to the listener’s interpretation.

 For fans of narrative-driven heavy music, Wake Beneath the Cross is both a battle cry and a benediction.
