No Cure for the Night

Humanity mourns the cost of war in whispered hymns.

Silence choir

Text:
Verse 1
In the shadows of forgotten fields
They plant the white petals of our fears.
A golden bloom for a dollar’s yield —
But what grows rich is not always deer.

They say it’s tradition, they call it survival,
A trade spun from broken trust.
But under the moons and the desert’s rival,
It’s the blood of dreams turning into dust.

Pre-Chorus
Eimer, Blech, Trommeln im Wind —
die Erde weint, doch sie bleibt blind.
Shaker zittert, die Triangel klingt,
während jemand sein Reich in der Dämmerung ringt.

Chorus
Opium kingdoms — built on pain,
Empires made from our tears and rain.
They sell nightmares, they buy our sighs —
while innocent souls pay the price.
Opium kingdoms — who holds the crown?
While the fields bloom red, the poor drown.

(solo)

Verse 2
From Kabul roads to distant shores,
the wealth of sorrow flows disguised.
A hidden war, in silent scores,
where power feeds and truth dies.

We’re shaking hands and breaking hearts,
while the poppy’s promise clouds the sky.
The rich get richer, but who imparts
the cost of each winded lullaby?

Bridge (mit Frauen-Chor, sacraler Klang)
Oh, in the haze of the rising sun,
hear the whisper of souls undone.
Triangel rings, the drums remain,
for every seed sown in blood and pain.

(solo)

Final Chorus
Opium kingdoms – built on pain,
Empires made from our tears and rain.
They whisper "peace" with a poisoned tongue,
while the future bleeds, and the bells are hung.
Opium kingdoms — who holds the crown?
In the fields of sorrow, the innocent drown.

Outro (tiefer Rap-Stimme + Chor)
We see you, in the petals of greed.
We pray for the day when your harvest is seed —
seed for a better tomorrow, not a richer sorrow.

Opium Kingdoms

A 26-track odyssey through sin, collapse, rebirth, empire, and war.

After a month-long hiatus, AxAxC returns with the most ambitious project in our history — a violent, emotional, and mythic exploration of the human condition.
This album is built on deathcore, nu-metal, liturgy-core, and Christian rock, fused with orchestral suites, Norse epics, spoken-word interludes, and cinematic war narration.

This is an album about burning down the version of yourself that’s killing you.
It opens in the trenches of addiction and internal collapse (“By Sin and Self-Destruction,” “My Demons,” “On My Own”), descends into despair and self-destruction (“I Tried to Be Free,” “Lose It All Again”), and hits its emotional breaking point in the ritualistic centerpiece Self-Immolation Ceremony.

From there, the album rises into myth — with Norse war-cries, celestial hauntings, phoenix-like rebirth, and dirges for doubt and fear.
Then, suddenly, the horizon shifts.
The personal becomes political.
And the final arc transforms into a historical epic — a prelude to AxAxC’s upcoming projects:
The Path of War and Democracy.

“The Rise of Evil” retells the beginning of WW2 as a warning.
“Support • Defend • Democracy” declares the album’s stance.
“Dulce et Decorum” channels war poetry into a modern metal requiem.

The final track, “Lento Bliss,” returns the listener to fragile humanity —
a reminder that after war, both inner and outer…
we still have to live.

This album is a journey.
A confession.
A requiem.
A resurrection.

This is Abolition with Self-Immolation.
Burn the old self.
Rise from the ash.

By Sin and Self-Destruction

This is the second of the dual album release (Day and Night Sides) inspired by my tattoos and telling the story of avatars of life and the forces of the universe.

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.
