This track is the scream I never got to let out, the truth I wasn’t allowed to speak. It’s a song for every survivor who was told to stay quiet, who was made to feel small, broken, or invisible. “Name in the Fire” lit the match—this is the aftermath. Stronger. Louder. Unapologetic. Every lyric is a scar I’ve learned to wear with pride. This is for the ones who made it out and for the ones still fighting. You’re not alone.

The Fire I Became

Scars Like Stars

If you reach too high and fly too close to the sun, this is what will happen.

Wings of Wax

Ashes of Yesterday

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

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

I wasn't born aware, had to open my eyes
Nobody told me what to believe
Had to find it out for myself
Asking questions, down on my knees
Praying for truth to set me free
Begging for truth to set me free

Then I saw past the rainbow
All the shame behind the colors
All the darkness they cover

You live next door to the devil!
How are you supposed to be okay?
Step outside, see corruption in every form!
How the hell are you okay?
How are you okay?

Close your eyes, dream the nightmare
At least the demons look prettier there
But I won't bow to this madness
I'm standing tall, unashamed
Won't play along with the lies they sell

I'd rather walk through fire than live in this hell
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees
I've seen behind the curtain
Watched the lies become the truth
I won't be their puppet
I won't be used

You live next door to the devil!
How are you supposed to be okay?
Step outside, see corruption in every form!
How the hell are you okay?
How are you okay?

Unashamed!
I'm ready to lose it all!
Unashamed!
For the One who gave everything!
Everything!

You promise life when all I see is death
Give me peace when my world's a wreck
In the chaos, You're my anchor
In the darkness, You're my light

The world gets darker (but I shine brighter)
So I run to You
The world gets darker (but I shine brighter)
I run to You!
I run to You!

The world gets darker, but I shine brighter!
Better run to You 'cause You're all I've got now!
The world gets darker, but I shine brighter!
Better run to You 'cause You're all I've got now!

You're all I've got now
All I've got now
You're all I've got!
(All I've got!)
You're the only way out!

Unashamed

AxAxC — DEATH THEORY

“If humanity falls, what survives — the soul or the sound?”

DEATH THEORY is a cinematic deathcore set in the far future — where humanity wages its final war for survival.
In an era of intergalactic warfare, the Earth burns beneath our own insignia — the AxAxC crest seared across a dying planet as our species drifts through space, fighting to exist among the ashes of our republic.

This album is the war drum of extinction.
From the political collapse of The Republic to the apocalyptic finality of End of the Fucking World, this album chronicles the downfall, defiance, and dark rebirth of humankind.

This is their it’s history. Our Future.
This is their destruction. Our evolution.
Welcome to the future of warfare.
Welcome to DEATH THEORY.

🔥 Track Highlights:

- Abominable — self-destruction turned divine.
- Death Theory — the creed of no return.
- Dismembered Cartilage — pit warfare incarnate.
- Burn Their Banners & An Empire Burns — rebellion forged in our hearts and minds.
- End of the Fucking World — acceptance beyond annihilation.

EAL WITH THE DEVIL (2025)

AXAXC – DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
6 tracks · 26:20 · 2025

You didn’t sign a contract.
You just looked in the mirror… and said yes.

This isn’t a redemption arc.
This isn’t a heroic tragedy.
This is AXAXC descending into the most violent, intimate, self-inflicted darkness we’ve ever written.

The devil isn’t a monster.
The devil is the moment you finally stop lying about who you are.

TRACKLIST

Deal With The Devil — the confession, the handshake, the acceptance.

Violent Sicko (feat. Succubix In White) — when desire becomes punishment.

Neurotic Necrotic Wh*re — self-hate dressed as seduction.

Eternal Parasite (feat. Succubix In White) — the part of you that feeds on your ruin.

Fk Me Eternal (feat. Succubix In White)** — devotion through destruction.

Cannibal — the final truth: you’ve been eating yourself alive.

🖤 ALBUM STATEMENT

There is no hope here.
No absolution.
No light waiting at the end.

This record is a psychological spiral — a conversation with the worst parts of yourself, set to distorted guitars, ritual drums, and voices that sound like they crawled out of your chest.

Every scream is an admission.
Every whisper is a bargain.
Every chorus is a confession you were too afraid to make out loud.

No gods.
No heroes.
Just you… and the devil wearing your face.

Tell us your favourite lyric.
Tell us which track broke you.
Tell us what part of the devil you recognised.

Your comments shape the next era.

DEAL WITH THE DEVIL

DYING HAND

[Intro | Clean Reverb Effect]
Silence before the storm,
Fate breathes in the dark.


[Verse 1 | Shadowfall Effect]
I am the one who falls in the dark,
Born from the void, left scars in my heart.
Cold breath rising, I walk through the flame,
Pain in my veins but I mastered the pain.

Shadows cling when I move through the fog,
Every step heavy, faith tested by gods.
I seen the end when I looked in their eyes,
Truth cut deep, couldn’t live in the lies.


[Pre-Chorus | Rising Fate Effect]
Clock keeps ticking, fate stays close,
Can’t outrun what you fear the most.
When the sky cracks, hear the call,
I won’t bend, I will never fall.


[Chorus | Night Ascension Effect]
I am the night, I am the dark,
You can’t stop what’s tearing apart.
What’s coming soon was written in time,
Feel the power when worlds collide.

Gods and mortals, hear them fight,
War in the distance, sparks in the sky.
When I rise, feel the ground ignite,
I am the shadow, I am the night.


[Post-Chorus | Lead Echo Effect]


[Verse 2 | Iron Resolve Effect]
Blood on the throne, crowns made of bone,
Walked through hell just to stand on my own.
Promises broken, trust turned to dust,
Built from the pain, yeah, forged from the rust.

Every loss carved lines in my face,
Still I stand when the stars lose faith.
If this is war, then sharpen the blade,
I don’t run now, I’m ready to stay.


[Pre-Chorus | Drum Pulse Effect]
Hear the drums in the distant flame,
Every breath calls out my name.
When the sky breaks, hear the fall,
I rise higher than them all.


[Chorus | Night Ascension Effect]
I am the night, I am the dark,
You can’t stop what’s tearing apart.
What’s coming soon was written in time,
Feel the power when worlds collide.

Gods and mortals, hear them fight,
War in the distance, sparks in the sky.
When I rise, feel the ground ignite,
I am the shadow, I am the night.


[Bridge | Breakdown Effect]
Heaven’s shaking, hell’s awake,
Every chain that held me breaks.
I was chosen, I survived,
Born to fall but built to rise.

If this ends, it ends in flame,
Say my name, remember my name.


[Guitar Solo | Controlled Chaos Effect]


[Final Chorus | Eclipse Effect]
I am the night, I am the storm,
From the ashes, I’m reborn.
Time stands still when I arrive,
Watch the legends come alive.

Gods and mortals, feel the fight,
Fire in the sky, thunder collide.
When I rise, there’s no goodbyes,
I am the shadow, I am the night.


[Outro | Quiet Resolve Effect]
I am the fall.
I am the rise.
I am the night.

SHADOW OF THE NIGHT

A sleek, retro 1980s synth‑drive anthem powered by shimmering pads, punchy drum machines, and a cool midnight groove. It celebrates the thrill of cruising in a classic Toyota MR2—pop‑up headlights glowing, engine humming, and the road stretching out like a neon‑lit arcade track built for pure freedom.
