The hardest, rawest track on the album. Riff-heavy, aggressive, and defiant. A warning: your grip is your downfall.

The Cost of Control

"Echoes in the Fog" - The climax of Abberline’s journey. Guided by Crowe’s final ciphered messages, Abberline discovers the ritual to sever the entity’s grip: the vessel must die, and another must bear the curse. In a derelict church drowned in fog, Abberline faces Crowe, who flickers between monstrous host and pleading friend. With the pendant shielding him, Abberline drives the ritual blade home, granting Crowe release while binding the Codex’s curse into himself. As Crowe whispers his final thanks, the veil shudders and closes, but whispers still linger in the fog. Abberline, marked and forever changed, steps into the night as both detective and vessel—the hunter and the haunted.


[Intro]
The veil hangs torn, the city bleeds,
The Codex whispers ancient creeds.
A voice of man, a god disguised—
The final truth revealed to my eyes.

[Lyrical Intro]
The cipher led, the path was shown,
Through blood and ash, through flesh and bone.
One vow remains, the blade must fall,
To break the chain, to end it all.

[Verse 1]
I found his words in walls of stone,
Each line inscribed, yet not his own.
A faded photo, shadows weep,
His family’s secrets buried deep.
The pendant glows, the knife is near,
The fog resounds with what I fear.
His eyes reveal a fractured soul,
A man undone, no longer whole.

[Chorus – soaring cleans with gothic choir]
Echoes in the fog—his voice remains,
A soul in torment, bound by chains.
Echoes in the fog—his plea, his name,
I end the rite, I bear the flame.

[Interlude
So bind the flesh, so break the seal,
The Codex burns, the wound won’t heal.
So mark the skin, so call the night,
The host must fall to end the rite.

[Verse 2]
“Do it!—free me now,
The god has claimed what I allow.
These hands are not my own to guide,
The shadow waits, it will not hide.
Strike deep, my friend, the stars converge,
The knife the key, the blood the surge.
The fog will howl, the Codex feed—
Through me it reigns, through me it bleeds.”

[Pre-Chorus]
I hold the blade, my hand will shake.
(You must strike true—for both our sakes.)
The veil resists, the Codex cries—
(This is the end—its grip denies!)

[Chorus]
Echoes in the fog—the bond I sever,
One man redeemed, one cursed forever.
Echoes in the fog—the soul is freed,
The god recoils, yet clings to me.

[Bridge]
Zorath’nim! (unbind the chain!)
Mor’thak keleth! (death-words remain!)
Corpus fractum! (the flesh must die!)
Anima mea! (the soul will rise!)

[Breakdown]
Strike! The gate resounds!
Fall! The host unbound!
Burn! The Codex sears!
Bind! I bear its fears!

[Final Chorus]
Echoes in the fog—his voice departs,
The night still binds, it grips my heart.
Echoes in the fog—her blood, his plea,
One soul set free, one curse on me.

[Extended Outro]
“Thank you, Frederick…”
“Forgive me, friend…”
The pendant burns, the Codex brands,
Its scripture carved into my hands.

The fog recedes but not for long,
Its whispers weave an endless song.
I step alone, the night my shroud,
A vessel born, the curse a vowed.

Tenebris aeternum… (eternal dark)
Domine Umbra… (lord of shadow)
Anima fracta… (broken soul)
VINCIT UMBRA! (THE SHADOW WINS!)

[Outro]
I walk these streets where silence weeps,
I am the vessel the Codex keeps.
Echoes in the fog—they call, they bind…
I hunt the dark… yet it is mine.

Ahhhh... ahhhh... ahhhhhh...
Ohhhh... ohhhh... ohhhhhh...
Mmmmm... mmmmm... mmmmmmm...

Echoes in the Fog

Left for Nothing

NEW HELL is AXAXC’s most apocalyptic and ambitious record yet. 

A symphonic war between heaven and hell, this album fuses Christian rock, hard rock, nu-metal, symphonic metal, electronic rock, and post-grunge into a brutal yet cinematic experience.

It’s an anthem for betrayal, despair, rebellion, and collapse — a story told through soaring melodies, guttural screams, orchestral fury, and unforgettable breakdowns.

CAESAR’S THRONE — the apocalyptic finale, the empire collapsing into dust.

JUDAS IN THE SENATE — betrayal in the halls of power, venom and silver.

WE ARE LEGION / LEGIONAIRE — collective war chant versus the lone warrior’s oath.

Hero — the emotional centerpiece: “I need a Hero to save my soul.”

NEW HELL — the title track, descent into torment and rebirth through fire.

AXAXC is here to Distort. Distrust. Destroy. 

For fans of: Breaking Benjamin, Five Finger Death Punch, Bring Me The Horizon, Skillet, Red, Architects, Memphis May Fire, and symphonic/nu-metal fusion.

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

I wasn't born aware, had to open my eyes
Nobody told me what to believe
Had to find it out for myself
Asking questions, down on my knees
Praying for truth to set me free
Begging for truth to set me free

Then I saw past the rainbow
All the shame behind the colors
All the darkness they cover

You live next door to the devil!
How are you supposed to be okay?
Step outside, see corruption in every form!
How the hell are you okay?
How are you okay?

Close your eyes, dream the nightmare
At least the demons look prettier there
But I won't bow to this madness
I'm standing tall, unashamed
Won't play along with the lies they sell

I'd rather walk through fire than live in this hell
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees
I've seen behind the curtain
Watched the lies become the truth
I won't be their puppet
I won't be used

You live next door to the devil!
How are you supposed to be okay?
Step outside, see corruption in every form!
How the hell are you okay?
How are you okay?

Unashamed!
I'm ready to lose it all!
Unashamed!
For the One who gave everything!
Everything!

You promise life when all I see is death
Give me peace when my world's a wreck
In the chaos, You're my anchor
In the darkness, You're my light

The world gets darker (but I shine brighter)
So I run to You
The world gets darker (but I shine brighter)
I run to You!
I run to You!

The world gets darker, but I shine brighter!
Better run to You 'cause You're all I've got now!
The world gets darker, but I shine brighter!
Better run to You 'cause You're all I've got now!

You're all I've got now
All I've got now
You're all I've got!
(All I've got!)
You're the only way out!

Unashamed
