The Black Cross proudly present “Legions Awake” – a track born from a spark given to us by one of our dearest friends and biggest fans, Bryce Bushnell. Ten years ago, Bryce began working on a haunting tune that lingered like an unfinished prophecy. He reached out and asked if we could carry his idea forward – and we did. The result is something truly powerful, and we dedicate this song to you, Bryce. Thank you, brother.

1. Acoustic Version

The acoustic interpretation strips the chaos down to its essence – skeletal chords and haunting vocals that summon the spirit of Bryce’s original melody. It’s raw, vulnerable, and intimate, showing the bones of the song while still carrying the weight of the legion’s rise.

2. Michael Version

Fronted by Michael’s commanding vocals, this version unleashes “Legions Awake” in its full apocalyptic glory. Thunderous riffs, relentless drums, and cinematic power transform Bryce’s seed of an idea into a war anthem for the damned. It’s dark, aggressive, and unmistakably The Black Cross.

3. Lilith Version

With Lilith’s spectral voice at the helm, “Legions Awake” takes on an ethereal and vampiric character. The song becomes a hymn of shadows – haunting, seductive, and otherworldly. It feels like a ritual chant carried by the wind through burning cathedrals, echoing the eternal rise of the legion.

Legions Awake (Acoustic)

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.
