AXAXC – DEREALIZATION (FULL ALBUM)
🧠 A sonic descent into addiction, masculinity, mental collapse, and identity death.
🕳 Trapcore • Deathcore • Nu Metal • Screamo • Ambient Sludgecore

“This cell doesn’t have four walls. It has my face.”

DEREALIZATION isn’t just an album — it’s a mental event. A full-body confrontation with trauma, weed addiction, spiritual despair, fractured masculinity, and the mask of perfection.
It’s about waking up in your own life… and realizing you don’t recognize yourself.

This record is the culmination of every psychological arc from previous AXAXC albums.
Legacy tracks like “Perfect”, “Tongues of Sin”, and the remastered “End of the Line” find new meaning here — not as isolated songs, but as symptoms in a larger mental breakdown.

🧠 THEMATIC ARC:
Tracks 1–5: The high. The mask. The beginning of collapse.

Tracks 6–9: Duality of identity. Cracks in the mirror. Begging to be seen.

Tracks 10–13: Shame, sin, and spiritual erosion.

Tracks 14–17: Total breakdown → false salvation → reluctant acceptance → final breath.

🔁 LEGACY TRACKS [Derealization Cuts]:
- The Nail in the Coffin
- Perfect
- Tongues of Sin
- TABOO [Remastered – Derealization Cut]
- God is a Woman (And She's Ashamed of Me)
- The Devil Said I'm Okay
- End of The Line [Remastered – Derealization Cut]

These were written long ago, but they always belonged here.
This is where their meaning finally lands.

🩸 HIGHLIGHT TRACKS:
I Am Already Dead [Alpha v.1 & Beta v.1]: The breaking point of addiction and the fracturing of self.

- Walking Dead (P1 & P2): A weed high as synthetic salvation — until the crash. 
- Prison: A scream for release from a self-built cage.
- The Mirror Lies: Rage against the curated persona you’ve become.
- God is a Woman(And She's Ashamed Of Me): The shame of spiritual failure and feminine rejection.

💀 AUTHOR’S NOTE:
“I don't want to be here anymore — but I built this version of me for you.
The man made perfect.
The man made empty.”

This is a neurodivergent death spiral in audio form.
If you’ve ever felt broken trying to be strong…
If you’ve ever loved the high more than yourself…
If you’ve ever built a mask so strong you forgot your real face underneath…
This album is your mirror.

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

-----------------------

Walking by the shoreline, salt air fills my chest
Fighting for a vision, put my heart up to the test
But the waves came crashing, knocked me to my knees
Broken but still breathing, learning how to believe

Fear runs like poison
Through my weary veins
But I'm done with all the voices
Driving me insane

No time left to waste, can you hear my beating heart?
Won't stay lost and fading, falling apart
There's a place where the restless find their home
Come and find me, come and find me
I don't want to drown alone

Every dawn's a reminder of the dreams I let slip by
Growing tired of the questions, tired of asking why
This ain't how I planned it, this ain't who I thought I'd be
All I ever wanted was for someone to see me

What a fool to trust in
Promises that fade
I'm done with empty shadows
Time to break the chains I've made

No time left to waste, can you hear my beating heart?
Won't stay lost and fading, falling apart
There's a place where the restless find their home
Come and find me, come and find me
I don't want to drown alone

Give me one more moment
Give me room to see
I've been calling through the darkness
God, set my spirit free

All these broken pieces
Scattered on the ground
I'm tired of the silence
And this empty sound

Of my voice just echoing
In this hollow space
I need something real now
I need to see Your face

No time left to waste, can you hear my beating heart?
Won't stay lost and fading, falling apart
There's a place where the restless find their home
Come and find me, come and find me
I don't want to drown alone

I'm reaching out, I'm calling out
I won't drown alone
Save me now, save me now
I don't want to drown alone

Come Find Me

The hardest, rawest track on the album. Riff-heavy, aggressive, and defiant. A warning: your grip is your downfall.

AxAxC – Am I the Monster?

An 8-track concept record diving into the fear, guilt, rejection, and rage of existence. This is AxAxC at our most vulnerable. From the heartbreak of First Choice to the suicidal abyss of Barrel of a Gun, through to the climactic title track Am I the Monster? and the furious closer Seeing Red.

This album questions whether our unique experiences, ancestry and choices we make, lead in us becoming monsters. We ask for everyone who’s ever asked: Am I guilty just for existing? Am I safe, but never chosen? Am I the monster?

Tracklist:

- First Choice (4:33)
- Fear of Me (3:52)
- Guilty of Skin (4:49)
- Eye of the Street (4:12)
- Barrel of a Gun (4:32)
- Am I the Monster? (5:34)
- Corazón (4:22)
- Seeing Red (4:29)

Band Statement:

This album is the sound of fear, rejection, and survival distilled into music. We’ve written from the darkest corners of ourselves, in heartbreak, in prejudice, in alienation, suicidal ideation and bled them into deathcore, ambient ballads, and spoken word interludes.

We are AxAxC. 
We distort. We distrust. We destroy.

Am I the Monster?

25 to Life

The Crowing (Lilith Version)

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.

Dies Irae (Requiem For Heaven)

The Serpent’s Bride

Ashes In The Rain


I kept you at a distance
Built walls to keep you out
The silence grew between us
Until no more warmth was found

I searched through my old memories
Of the happier times we spent
Found only faded versions
Of what our love once meant

Then I saw you with another
Walking down our old street
Laughing at some inside joke
That used to belong to me

La la la, oh oh oh 
La la la, oh oh oh 

I had to walk away 
To understand
Had to break it all 
Had to break it all
I had to fracture you
To build anew
Had to break it all 
Had to break it all

I saw you at the coffee shop
On some random Tuesday night
You looked older, softer somehow
But that was all alright

We talked about the weather first
Then slowly let it fall
The pretense and protection
We'd built up like a wall

You said you'd been thinking
About the way we ended things
How we were too young and stupid
To know what love can bring

La la la, oh oh oh 
La la la, oh oh oh 

I had to walk away 
To understand
Had to break it all 
Had to break it all
I had to fracture you
To build anew
Had to break it all 
Had to break it all

To start with you ...
Anew..
Had to break it all..
Had to break it all…
Anew
Had to break it all
Had to break it all….

Had To Break It All

Our parents always said: Don't lie. Well, that's going to be difficult for everyone.
[Verse]
I’m here to tell no lies
The sun still sets and rises high
The mirror cracks but never cries
I’ve got nothing left to hide

[Prechorus]
Truth is loud like thunder rolls
It breaks the chains it steals the show

[Chorus]
No lies no lies no lies to tell
I’m breaking free I’m under no spell
No lies no lies no lies at all
I’m standing tall I’ll never fall

[Verse 2]
The streetlights hum their lonely tune
The clock keeps ticking past the moon
I speak my mind I bare my soul
The truth is fire that keeps me whole

[Bridge]
Whispers fade into the dark
Truth ignites a blazing spark
I’ve been silent now I shout
No more fear I’m breaking out

[Chorus]
No lies no lies no lies to tell
I’m breaking free I’m under no spell
No lies no lies no lies at all
I’m standing tall I’ll never fall

No Lies to Tell

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.
