Burn the Ships is The Gray Covenant’s most ambitious and cinematic release to date. A declaration of resolve, rebirth, and the fierce courage required to leave the past behind. Blending soaring alternative rock with weighty melodic metal and atmospheric soundscapes, the album moves like a journey through fire: gripping, emotional, and relentlessly forward-driving.

Across its tracks, thunderous guitars collide with sweeping orchestral layers, immersive textures, and vocals that shift between vulnerable confession and unshakable defiance. Each song builds on the album’s central theme, cutting ties with what holds us back and stepping boldly into the unknown.

Dark, dramatic, and powerful, Burn the Ships is both an intimate narrative and an anthemic sonic experience. The Gray Covenant deliver a record that feels like standing at the edge of a cliff, watching everything behind you burn while the horizon ahead begins to glow.

12. The Gray Covenant - Unbreakable Soul

7. EARTH MOTHER

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.
