This guitar-driven track was recorded in honor of Robert Smith, who is a Goth icon and a mastermind behind the success of The Cure, as well as Sylvester Stallone, who played the main character in the cult futuristic movie of "Judge Dredd" from 1995. Evidently, the lyrics and melodies have been changed in relation to the original soundtrack recorded by The Cure. Enjoy!

The origin of this particular track can be traced back to 2003, when it was first recorded by Wojciech Makowski in his home recording studio. The poem is addressed to the pure feeling of love to which the real human features were assigned by using a stylistic form of personification. In this song, love is a specific lyrical entity which is treated as a real human being. An entirely new version of this song is proposed in 2024 with modified lyrics as well as changed melodies and instrumental arrangements with the gothic touch of Kamil Walczak. Enjoy!

The origin of this particular track can be traced back to 1992, when similar song was rejected by my then-band (A Herd Of The Rushing Vises) in which I played on a bass guitar. The lyrics of this song expressed our hidden intentions to leave our hometown in which we grew up for good. At that time, we really wanted to escape from the small-town mentality of our local community, where everyone knew almost everything about everyone else. Back then, we were under the irresistible impression that this place was slowly (but surely) killing our dreams and ambitions. 30 years later: my hometown has become a foggy and unrealistically distant dreamland. However, I still miss the atmosphere of this small town and all those incredible people who knew me so well.

"In The Hanging Graveyard" is the sixth and final track of the A-side studio album "Bloody Rituals" released in June of 2025 by Hanging Graveyard (duo of two brothers: Michael Walczak and Kamil Walczak). Their music is described as gothic metal, while guitar-driven compositions are carried by instrumental parts blended with lyrical essentialism. The lyrics of this song refer to a vision of the hanging graveyard, where emotional turmoil and existential suffering can find an end in a ritual act of suicide: "In the hanging graveyard / Bloody rituals… / In the hanging graveyard / Creepy animals…".

This is the raven’s song, Echoes rising, fierce and long. Through the dark, through the light, We are burning, we ignite. This is the raven’s song, Where the broken still belong. Shout it loud, we carry on, This is the raven’s song....
