Emerging from the darkness of Cathedral of the Fallen, Scourge Of Light stands as one of the album’s most apocalyptic moments — a vision of divine fire turned against a broken world. The single release expands this vision with three new tracks: the thrash-fueled onslaught of Bloodstar, the haunting lament Seraphic Wounds led by Lilith’s ethereal voice, and the crushing weight of Obsidian Reign. Together, these songs form a testament to ruin, redemption, and the endless struggle between shadow and flame. Scourge Of Light captures The Black Cross at their most relentless — where gothic grandeur collides with thrash fury and cinematic doom.

Obsidian Reign

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.
