Ballads

Get ready for something you’ve never heard — or felt — before.

You could call this album a horror opera. Or maybe an audio horror movie. It’s an ecstatic mix… a soaking wet nightmare.

You might feel uneasy. Maybe even terrified. Possibly… watched. Or possessed.

We’ve had some of the strangest reactions from people lucky (or unlucky) enough to get an early listen. We just call it music. And hey — tastes vary. You might hate it. You might fall in love with it.

Either way, we can proudly say this is our absolute favorite album we’ve ever made.

Oh, and here’s the weird part — there’s no mastering on this record. What you hear is raw and unfiltered. Untouched. Unpolished. Not separated from reality in any way.

Maybe that’s what makes some people squirm.

So… enjoy the ride into the land of nightmares. And let The Witch seduce you.

P.S.
After listening, you might not only be possessed… but also pregnant — and your firstborn might already be sold straight to the Devil.

Where Nashville storytelling meets radio-ready hooks. This is the sound of dusty backroads and downtown lights, blending heartfelt lyrics about love, loss, and small-town life with polished pop production. Think driving rhythms, shimmering guitars, and melodies that stick with you long after the song ends. Perfect for cruising with the windows down or dreaming of somewhere else.

This is my first attempt at an acoustic track of my own, hope you enjoy and you know that your are the fire that cant be contained 😊🤘

Wildfire Unplugged

Epic Cinematic Metal score.
A colleague of mine asked me to produce a track, which combines cinematic orchestra instruments and metal. Because he loves metal, but also orchestra instruments. 

So, this track is where orchestra meets metal:
Thundering war drums driving relentless energy
Soaring and distorted electric cello lines cutting through the mix
Dark contrast and depth
A sound both cinematic and powerful, bridging film score intensity with the raw force of metal.
It’s not just orchestral. It’s not just metal. It’s the collision of both worlds. Dramatic, aggressive.
Listen yourself. If you like it.....

MY GAME

Couch Resignation

I hear your call from the grave
Through the silence of the rain
Your shadow wraps around my heart
A whisper carved in pain
Your ghost still breathes beneath my skin
Where love and death remain

Every heartbeat fades like thunder in the dark
But your name still burns inside my heart

Call from the grave — I can’t let go
Your voice pulls me where angels won’t go
Call from the grave — through the tears I fall
I still belong to you, after all

I hear your call from the grave
In the echoes of my dreams
Your touch still burns, your voice still bleeds
Through endless, spectral seams
You haunt me where the moonlight falls
And nothing’s what it seems

Every heartbeat fades like thunder in the dark
But your name still burns inside my heart

Call from the grave — I can’t let go
Your voice pulls me where angels won’t go
Call from the grave — through the tears I fall
I still belong to you, after all

I hear your call from the grave
Where roses drown in frost
I kneel beside your hollow bed
Counting all I’ve lost
Your name still drips from broken lips
A vow forever crossed

I hear your call from the grave
When midnight wears your face
The stars all dim, the world stands still
Inside your cold embrace
I’d die again to hold your hand
In this forsaken place

“Between two worlds I wait for you…”

Call from the grave — I can’t let go
Your voice pulls me where angels won’t go
Call from the grave — your love won’t fade
I’ll meet you there, where dreams are made

I hear your call from the grave
And follow it below
Through tombs of light and rivers black
Where mortal hearts can’t go
In death we dance, entwined as one —
Love’s final afterglow

“I never left you…”

Call From The Grave

Angels Bleed Too

Third single from the forthcoming album — Dominion of the Damned

Dies Irae (Requiem for Heaven) marks the third descent from The Black Cross, a monumental chapter in the dark gospel of Dominion of the Damned.
Where the first two singles scorched the earth with fury and possession, Dies Irae opens the gates of heaven — only to burn them from within.

Led by Lilith’s haunting multilingual performance, the title track is a requiem sung in the tongues of the lost — French, Spanish, German, and Latin — a lament for the fall of light itself.
Michael answers with two of his most powerful works to date: “Wings of Dust”, a gothic metal elegy of broken angels, and “Blood Upon the Altar”, a relentless ritual hymn drenched in fire and sin.
The single closes with “Liturgia Obscura” — a brutal, defiant anthem where sacred Latin chants erupt into pure rebellion, sealing the unholy mass with guitars and thunder.

This is The Black Cross at their most cinematic and destructive — a requiem for divinity, a celebration of corruption, and a hymn for those who find beauty in ruin.
Heaven falls. Hell sings. The Black Cross stands eternal.

“If it hurts, let it scream.”

SCREAM YOUR NAME

A reflective Christian country ballad that speaks directly to the searching heart. Built in a gentle 6/8 rhythm, this song opens with soft piano and finger-picked acoustic guitar, carrying a deep, soul-centered vocal that asks hard questions about faith, shame, and redemption. A mournful fiddle weaves between the lines, rising as the message turns from conviction to hope.

The chorus becomes a call to come forward — a reminder that grace is waiting, forgiveness is real, and no one has to remain in the shadows. As the song builds, layered harmonies lift the message higher, leading into an instrumental moment that feels like a prayer without words. The final chorus swells with assurance and peace, settling into a quiet, reverent close.

This is a song for anyone who has ever doubted, wandered, or longed for a fresh beginning — and discovered that redemption was always within reach.

Matthew 5:14–16
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Romans 1:16
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes…”

1 John 1:6–7
“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

Psalm 42:1–2
“As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God…”

James 1:6–8
“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting… he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind…”

Revelation 3:20
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”

The Black Cross is a gothic metal band conjuring soundscapes steeped in darkness, mysticism, and cinematic intensity. Formed as a ritualistic union of heavy riffs, haunting melodies, and baroque aesthetics, the band blends elements of hard rock, doom, punk, and darkwave into a force both brutal and beautiful.

Led by frontman Michael on vocals and guitar, the five-member coven includes the enigmatic Lilith (synth & vocals), the shadowy axe-wielder Cain (rhythm guitar), brooding low-end guardian Malach (bass), and the fierce and relentless Abaddon (drums). Each member represents a different facet of the band’s occult-inspired persona.

Their debut album The Chapel of Shadows introduced a new liturgy of sonic storytelling — songs like Velvet Crucifix, The Seraphim Lie, and Darkness Is My Friend explore themes of sin, salvation, and the sacred in decay. With theatrical visuals, powerful live performances, and an ever-expanding mythology, The Black Cross is more than a band — it's a resurrection in sound.

Listen. Worship. Burn the silence.
