Drums rush like panic, but the melody moves slow and wounded. This is the final step: not redemption, but acceptance. He won’t forget. He won’t forgive. But he chooses to keep breathing.

The Quiet Reset

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

“I’m Your Bot (Dead Again)” is an aggressive EDM x metalcore fusion anthem told from the perspective of a Warzone bot. The track slams with 145 BPM intensity, crushing dubstep drops, and distorted guitars, blending cinematic build-ups with relentless energy. Lyrically, it’s the tragic voice of a bot forced to respawn and die endlessly, a target for players chasing kill streaks and inflated K/D ratios. Equal parts brutal and melancholic, the song captures the paradox of FPS bots: powerless victims that fuel the glory of human players, yet secretly dreaming of breaking free. Perfect for gaming montages, hype playlists, and anyone who knows the grind of Warzone’s chaos.

I’m Your Bot (Dead Again)

When Titans Drown

Lyrics 


You are welcome to my nightmare tonight
Say hi to my friend the grave digger in sight
He’s got a great smile it cuts like a knife
And a great bite it’ll steal your life


Shadows creep where the cold winds sigh
Are you ready to run or ready to die


Welcome welcome to the show
Where the dark is all you’ll know
Grave digger’s grin it’s your delight
But his bite it ends the night


Coffins whisper secrets below
The graveyard hums with a ghostly glow
He’ll offer a hand but don’t you take
It’s a deal you’ll wish you didn’t make


Tick tock hear the clock it’s late
Grave digger smiles he seals your fate
Laughter echoes in the air so thin
This is where your fears begin


Welcome welcome to the show
Where the dark is all you’ll know
Grave digger’s grin it’s your delight
But his bite it ends the night


Welcome to My Nightmare - REMASTERED - HD

Bowing to the chains
Screaming for a leash
Licking boots
Your cries never cease
A hollow drone
The swarm aligns
Crawling in filth
Begging for signs

Useful Idiot

Breaking Me Down

NEW HELL is AXAXC’s most apocalyptic and ambitious record yet. 

A symphonic war between heaven and hell, this album fuses Christian rock, hard rock, nu-metal, symphonic metal, electronic rock, and post-grunge into a brutal yet cinematic experience.

It’s an anthem for betrayal, despair, rebellion, and collapse — a story told through soaring melodies, guttural screams, orchestral fury, and unforgettable breakdowns.

CAESAR’S THRONE — the apocalyptic finale, the empire collapsing into dust.

JUDAS IN THE SENATE — betrayal in the halls of power, venom and silver.

WE ARE LEGION / LEGIONAIRE — collective war chant versus the lone warrior’s oath.

Hero — the emotional centerpiece: “I need a Hero to save my soul.”

NEW HELL — the title track, descent into torment and rebirth through fire.

AXAXC is here to Distort. Distrust. Destroy. 

For fans of: Breaking Benjamin, Five Finger Death Punch, Bring Me The Horizon, Skillet, Red, Architects, Memphis May Fire, and symphonic/nu-metal fusion.

CAESAR’S THRONE

Symphonic metal powerhouse with shredding guitar solos

The Rage

"Blood and betrayal turned Rome from republic to empire." - National Geographic
"A cinematic metal epic about Power, Betrayal & Legacy - Caesar's Rome told as thunder, choir and truth" -  AxAxC

IMPERIVM: Blood of Rome is AxAxC’s cinematic war-saga: a 13-track ascent from Veni, Vidi, Vici to the Ides and beyond. Built like a documentary set to blades and choirs, this record fuses Christian Rock • Deathcore • Nu-Metal • Symphonic/Cinematic metal with trap-core pulses, Latin chants, and battlefield drums. It’s Caesar’s story told in real dates, real battles, real consequences — and the mirror it holds to our present.

Across Italy, Greece, Egypt, and Hispania, the album follows the rise, the civil war (49–45 BC), the dictatorship (46–44 BC), the Ides of March (44 BC), the vengeance at Philippi (42 BC), and the legacy that crowns Augustus. This is historical metal, just blood, law, and destiny.

Personal note from AxAxC: this project carries the nostalgia of a father’s films and the reality that ambition invites knives. IMPERIVM is for anyone who builds; who believes anyway.

- VENI. VIDI. VICI. — 47 BC; Zela (Pontus)
Caesar’s famed dispatch after defeating Pharnaces II (“I came, I saw, I conquered”). Opens the saga with the certainty that defines his rise.

- CAESAR’S THRONE (Remastered) — 59–50 BC; Rome & Gaul
From his consulship (59 BC) to the Gallic command (58–50 BC), triumphs, and the cult of persona that made him inevitable.

- The Die Is Cast (Alea Iacta Est) — Jan 49 BC; Rubicon, near Ariminum (Rimini)
Defies the Senate’s order; crosses with a legion and triggers civil war. No return.

- BLOOD OF ROME — 49–45 BC; Italy, Greece, Egypt, Africa, Hispania
Civil-war arc in hard dates: Dyrrhachium (48, Pompeian edge) → Pharsalus (48, Caesar wins) → Pompey assassinated in Egypt (48) → Thapsus (46) → Munda (45). Republic broken.

- JUDAS IN THE SENATE (Remastered) — 50–44 BC; Rome
Hostility in the Curia: indictments, intrigues, and the moral panic around “king” that seeds the conspiracy.

- FIFTEENTH OF MARCH (IDES) — 15 March 44 BC; Theatre of Pompey, Rome
Assassination: Brutus, Cassius, over twenty conspirators; 23 wounds; the act meant to “save” the Republic.

- SENATE OF SERPENTS — 46–44 BC; Rome (flashback dossier)
Dictatorship and reforms: Julian calendar, land/provincial reforms, public works (Temple of Venus Genetrix), then the move to dictator perpetuo (44 BC) that precipitates the knife.

- Idus Martiae! Caesar mortuus est! (feat. Pure Addiction) — Alt cut of 44 BC scene
Choral/trap dirge of the Ides—same day, different lens; grief, shock, and the crowd’s turning tide.

- I AM JULIUS (POST IDUS) — 44–42 BC; aftershock
The revenant speech: legacy claims (calendar, laws, roads), propaganda wars, and the truth that “they killed the man, not the movement.”

- MARCH OF THE LEGIONS — 44–42 BC; Macedon & Greece
Antony and Octavian avenge Caesar; the two Battles of Philippi (Oct 3 & 23, 42 BC); suicides of Cassius and Brutus. The conspirators’ end.

- LEGION (Remastered) — Timeless creed
Eagles, standards, formations; the soldier’s oath that outlives politics.

- THE FALL OF ROME — 44–27 BC → 27 BC
From chaos to order: Octavian consolidates, and in 27 BC becomes Augustus; the Republic’s ghost yields to the Empire.

- IMPERIVM — Epilogue/Credo
The price of will. Empires fall; purpose endures. Title motif that binds our personal thesis to Caesar’s arc.

CAESAR’S THRONE (Remastered)

“False Light” is the turning point in The Hidden Empire — the moment when truth itself becomes a weapon.
After uncovering the system’s architects, the Seeker is offered salvation: a glowing promise, a false awakening, a light that blinds more than it reveals.
This song dives into the illusion of enlightenment — how media, leaders, and false prophets use hope to pacify, profit, and control.
It’s a warning to question every “truth” that comes with a price tag.
Musically, “False Light” fuses TesseracT’s atmospheric depth with Dream Theater’s cinematic weight, blending shimmering ambient tones with crushing rhythm guitars.
It’s both beautiful and unsettling — a hymn for the deceived, sung from inside the machine.
🔥 Genre: Progressive Metal / Cinematic Djent
🎧 Theme: Illusion, Manipulation, Blind Faith, Control
💿 From the concept album The Hidden Empire
“The brighter it burns, the deeper the night —
You followed the wrong light.”

False Light

Fuck SoundCloud follow me on reverbnation and rorydavidmusic.com.  SoundCloud is a scam platform and is not worth all the hassle. I use CCM Studio in Denver, Co.  SO fuck you soundcloud motherfuckers.  I had 2 vinyls I was going to release but the stupid BOT and soundcloud staff are too fucking stupid to know the difference between originals and remixes. So, sorry fans, its not gonna happen, but raise hell with these assholes.

Been playing guitar and bass since I was a kid.  Gradually transitioned to learning keyboard and drums as well.  Started writing my own songs when I was 15.  I’ve written well over 1000 songs in my lifetime . I'm a fully functioning studio and work with various musicians worldwide. I enjoy working with all genres.  Im registered with ASCAP and hope and pray daily someone will buy my songs. Check out my website at rorydavidmusic.com. Soundcloud claims you can sell vinyls on here, I'm trying to sell 2.  I have ISRC numbers for every song yet they are making life a living hell, so I'll probably find a different site soon.
