"Kings Without Crowns" is a dark, cinematic journey into the illusions of power, false prophets, and the human need to believe — even when the truth hides behind the curtain.
With poetic lyrics, dramatic soundscapes, and an emotionally charged performance, Project Isolar paints a vivid portrait of a world where reason surrenders its throne and fear crowns the unworthy.

Kings without crowns

A resurrection through music — The Chapel of Shadows is the debut full-length album from The Black Cross, blending gothic atmosphere, cinematic darkness, and hard rock devotion.

Each track is a ritual — from the seductive depths of Velvet Crucifix and Lilith, to the anthemic sorrow of Darkness Is My Friend and Black. This is not a collection of songs, but a liturgy for the forsaken. Woven with haunting synths, cathedral-like drums, and poetic lyrics, the album explores themes of spiritual decay, desire, and transformation.

Led by Michael’s commanding voice and the spectral presence of Lilith, The Chapel of Shadows invites the listener into a world where angels fall, saints lie, and beauty is born in ruin.

This is where faith unravels — and something darker takes its place.
