AXAXC – The Ashes of Eden: Author’s Commentary
When we began writing The Ashes of Eden, there was no rigid plan—just raw emotion and a desire to create something entirely different. Every song evolved organically, weaving together into a larger story. This album is about chaos, love, pain, and rebirth. It’s deeply personal, chaotic, and hauntingly beautiful.

Here’s the journey in detail:

1. The Ashes of Eden
This opening track is an anthem. Sharp violins and harp strings set a haunting tone before falling into a soft, ethereal calm led by female vocals. But the peace is shattered by rhythmic guitar chugs, creating a beautiful contrast between stillness and power. The female vocals are later replaced by deep death-metal growls, signaling the fall of paradise.

2. A Tear for a Penny: Part 1
Chaos unleashed. The fast tremolo picking and kickback drums create urgency, while screamo vocals give it raw intensity. Melodic orchestral breaks and battle-like rhythms raise your energy. The lyrics are dark, poetic, and unforgiving—a war cry wrapped in melody.

3. Velvet Chains: Part 1
A seductive and trance-like experience. This track is slow, heavy, and hypnotic. The bass burns like a cigarette pull-back, with haunting female vocals weaving through. There’s an intimate chemistry between the male and female vocals, creating a siren’s call atmosphere that draws you in deeper.

4. Velvet Chains: Part 2
Colder, haunting, and pulse-like. This track feels like being whispered to by someone you love—soothing yet distant. Light, deliberate chugs keep the rhythm grounded, while the bass anchors the emotion. It’s intimate, ethereal, and perfect for those spending Valentine’s Day alone.

5. A Tear for a Penny: Part 2
The storm returns. This track is slow-paced but gritty, with heavy chugs that feel like a whiskey burn. Female vocals enter with force, countered by dark male growls. The 1-2-3 beat keeps things chaotic, while atmospheric backing adds spacey depth. It’s unpredictable and beautifully raw.

6. The Black Sky
This song represents death—poetic and relentless. Unlike earlier tracks, it begins with heavy riffs and aggressive male screamo. It constantly shifts between rage-filled vocals and soft, haunting moments. The melody mirrors the chaos, dropping into filthy breakdowns and eerie silence before ethereal female vocals tell their side of the story.

7. DayZero
A rebirth. This track opens with orchestral strings and quickly shifts into pounding drums and heavy chugging. Male vocals dominate, creating a ceremonial tone. Violins and synths elevate the track, giving it an anthemic quality. Just as things settle into an ethereal calm, distorted scratching breaks it apart, leaving listeners in suspense—a perfect setup for what may come next.

Remember Me

It's All For Good

Hands That Hold the World is a raw, emotional post-hardcore journey through the human experience of sacrifice, faith, and resilience. From the quiet pain of loss to the roaring defiance of the heart, each track tells a story of individuals facing unimaginable trials—mothers giving everything for their children, elders forgotten yet honored, young lives confronting violence, and souls finding redemption through faith in Christ.

The album confronts grief, injustice, and societal pressures head-on, while ultimately celebrating the strength of the human spirit and the power of love, selflessness, and unwavering faith. With soaring choruses, blistering breakdowns, and hauntingly intimate moments, Hands That Hold the World is both a tribute and a call to honor those who give themselves fully to others, holding the world steady with their courage and compassion.
