AXAXC – The Ashes of Eden: Author’s Commentary
When we began writing The Ashes of Eden, there was no rigid plan—just raw emotion and a desire to create something entirely different. Every song evolved organically, weaving together into a larger story. This album is about chaos, love, pain, and rebirth. It’s deeply personal, chaotic, and hauntingly beautiful.

Here’s the journey in detail:

1. The Ashes of Eden
This opening track is an anthem. Sharp violins and harp strings set a haunting tone before falling into a soft, ethereal calm led by female vocals. But the peace is shattered by rhythmic guitar chugs, creating a beautiful contrast between stillness and power. The female vocals are later replaced by deep death-metal growls, signaling the fall of paradise.

2. A Tear for a Penny: Part 1
Chaos unleashed. The fast tremolo picking and kickback drums create urgency, while screamo vocals give it raw intensity. Melodic orchestral breaks and battle-like rhythms raise your energy. The lyrics are dark, poetic, and unforgiving—a war cry wrapped in melody.

3. Velvet Chains: Part 1
A seductive and trance-like experience. This track is slow, heavy, and hypnotic. The bass burns like a cigarette pull-back, with haunting female vocals weaving through. There’s an intimate chemistry between the male and female vocals, creating a siren’s call atmosphere that draws you in deeper.

4. Velvet Chains: Part 2
Colder, haunting, and pulse-like. This track feels like being whispered to by someone you love—soothing yet distant. Light, deliberate chugs keep the rhythm grounded, while the bass anchors the emotion. It’s intimate, ethereal, and perfect for those spending Valentine’s Day alone.

5. A Tear for a Penny: Part 2
The storm returns. This track is slow-paced but gritty, with heavy chugs that feel like a whiskey burn. Female vocals enter with force, countered by dark male growls. The 1-2-3 beat keeps things chaotic, while atmospheric backing adds spacey depth. It’s unpredictable and beautifully raw.

6. The Black Sky
This song represents death—poetic and relentless. Unlike earlier tracks, it begins with heavy riffs and aggressive male screamo. It constantly shifts between rage-filled vocals and soft, haunting moments. The melody mirrors the chaos, dropping into filthy breakdowns and eerie silence before ethereal female vocals tell their side of the story.

7. DayZero
A rebirth. This track opens with orchestral strings and quickly shifts into pounding drums and heavy chugging. Male vocals dominate, creating a ceremonial tone. Violins and synths elevate the track, giving it an anthemic quality. Just as things settle into an ethereal calm, distorted scratching breaks it apart, leaving listeners in suspense—a perfect setup for what may come next.

Fighting Myself

Threads of Frigg

A driving southern metal anthem that transforms the classic outlaw tale into a celebration of rebellion and freedom. Part of the Iron Sky series, "Iron Sky (Bootlegger)" follows an unnamed legend who rules the back roads, always staying one step ahead of the law while building his immortal fame. With razor-sharp lyrics that glorify the bootlegger as a folk hero fighting for freedom during Prohibition, the song captures the thrill of the chase and the defiant spirit of those who refused to bow to unjust laws. Heavy riffs and powerful vocals drive this tale of a master craftsman who owns the night and leaves the law eating dust on every run.

Lyrics by Kenneth Carlino

Iron Sky (Bootlegger)


There is a quiet, patient thing,
A shadow waiting in the wing.
Fate waits for you to return to sadness,
It feeds upon the static and the madness.
It coils itself, a patient spring,
So it can take control of everything.


But there's a voice that cuts the grey,
And tells you not to turn away...
Push back, strike out, let the engine roar!
This isn't what you're living for!

Keep your eyes on the road!
Feel the wind, see the sky!
Glide over the lines, just enjoy the ride!
Let the engine scream its song and leave it all behind!

They say your whole life rests on each second,
A fragile and a fleeting breath.
But they don't know the strength you've reckoned...
You are the architect of death.
(The death of who you used to be.)

Keep your eyes on the road!
Feel the wind, see the sky!
Glide over the lines, just enjoy the ride!
Let the engine scream its song and leave it all behind!

No way it will...
They whisper that you're bound to fall...
But not even time can bear the weight of your will.
It doesn't own you, not at all.
Don't you worry now, yesterday won't knock on your door!
Don't you have no doubt because you were born to fly!

Each second! The only thing you own!
Each second! On this open road!
Each second! A universe you build!
Each second! The weight of your will!
LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND!

Leave It All Behind

"Moan of Frankenstein" is a chilling narrative that delves into the tragic life of Frankenstein's creation. Set against a backdrop of darkness and despair, the lyrics depict the creature's struggle to find his place in a world that shuns him. As he wanders the land, chained to his own anguish, the moans of vengeance and whispers of dismay serve as a testament to his inner turmoil. The chorus highlights the intertwining of darkness and despair, emphasizing the tragic fate that awaits the creature. The song invites listeners to explore themes of loneliness, isolation, and the consequences of tampering with the natural order of things, offering a poignant and thought-provoking tale that lingers long after the final note.
