about

Let there be no secrets: we are coming to the place between, the middle point of our long and hidden journey, and upon the threshold, standing where the walls fall away, the words are almost clear, and we possess the secret of the secret and lean forward, into the empty, open, unseen space beyond, lean closer to hear, to know for certain what we came for.

"Strange soundscapes are more and more becoming a common occurrence within the greater world of music. You could almost say that anyone coming up today, especially within metal circles, are iconoclastic. You take say a band like Agriculture or Ragana and while they have their influences sure but they also aren’t beholden to any one thing and would rather see the old ways destroyed. Today our feature with Cruxis and their self titled album, out tomorrow, is absolutely no different. While not very black metal or even a hint of blackened doom, Cruxis take the genre of doom and don’t reinvent it but rather they understand what it can be combined with. It’s like they meticulously worked over a smithing forge working and deconstructing and remaking what does and doesn’t work. Now this isn’t to say that what they are may be new in any sort of way, we have Blackwater Holylight and Chelsea Wolfe amongst others. However, Cruxis have found their unique sound here within the confines of doom, crust, sludge, deathrock and even, dare we say, a hint of shoegaze to blend it together. With this information at hand we can further get into this album. There’s an emotional weight happening here with a beautiful way in which opposites attract in that while the music itself is hard and heavy and unrelenting the vocals done by Amanda Votta cut through you and haunt your ears and brain with the way she sounds like a specter calling you into a place you shouldn’t go. All this to say, Cruxis builds are beautifully haunted atmosphere that once you get into it, it’s hard to escape from. They bring you in and once it’s done you’re left with a void and uncertainty and you begin to miss them." - Antifascist Black Metal Network

released January 26, 2024

Cruxis creates temporally dislocated decompensation rituals for our collapsing Anthropocene. Melding elements of sludge, crust punk, deathrock, and industrial, with haunted vocals that oscillate between the periphery of awareness and an insistent presence, the duo builds a tense, unsettling space full of dread fascination, and foreboding mystery where nothing is certain. The five songs on Cruxis’ debut album were recorded during October-November 2023. Cruxis are Amanda Votta (voice; The Spectral Light, The Floating World, Deep Fade, and others) and the interstellar entity known as the Dok-tor (music and art).

Synthy, ultra processed black metal. It's a little goofy, but it makes for a nice change of pace from my usual fare. Ghuughra
