Another take on "Dredd Song" in a more ballad style. Once again, the lyrics and melodies were changed with respect to the original soundtrack recorded by The Cure. This song 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. 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…".

Heaven Rejected Me” is a dark, cinematic progressive-metal anthem born from the core of the AngelFall universe, blending atmospheric ritual energy with modern alt-metal intensity. Flanged clean guitars bloom into massive distorted walls, supported by tribal tom-driven grooves, gritty mid-focused bass, and layered female vocals that rise from whisper to cathartic scream. Built around polymetric riffs, Phrygian and Middle-Eastern scales, and a slow-burn tension that erupts into a soaring climax, the track captures the feeling of a fallen angel tearing free from fate Seraphine’s voice carrying raw defiance, pain, and transcendence as she rises beyond the gates that once condemned her.

Heaven Rejected Me

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.

I tore the skin
I tore it raw
Red ribbons falling
No applause
The taste of salt
The sting of rage
A twisted grin on a burning stage


I feel it tear
I feel it bite
This fucking itch won’t end tonight


Rip it off
Rip it clean
Let the blood run
Let it scream
Fuck the pain
Fuck the scars
I’ll wear my wounds like shattered stars


The mirror spits
It spits me back
A haunted face
A shattered crack
I claw the edges
I tear the seams
The rawest truth in the darkest dreams


They said
"Stop scratching
Let it heal"
But I love the way the wounds reveal
A chaos carved
A venomous kiss
I rip my lips to feel like this


Rip it off
Rip it clean
Let the blood run
Let it scream
Fuck the pain
Fuck the scars
I’ll wear my wounds like shattered stars
