A haunting reawakening of heavy metal's darkest roots, Paranoid is The Black Cross’ tribute to the blackened legacy of Black Sabbath — reimagined through the band’s signature gothic metal lens.

Across five blistering reinterpretations, The Black Cross drags these timeless songs through the crypt, breathing new life into old ghosts. From the frenzied mental spiral of “Paranoid” to the blood-soaked ritual of “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,” each track becomes a chapter in a new unholy gospel. The looming presence of Lilith — mysterious, angelic, infernal — collides with Michael’s fire-and-ashes vocal delivery, painting every note in candlewax and crimson.

The EP explores a world where the stairway to heaven crumbles beneath your feet, and the highway to hell is paved in velvet and bone. With riffs that rumble like tombstones and synths that shimmer like stained glass nightmares, Paranoid is not just a tribute — it’s a resurrection.

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.
