Marcel Faust Darksynth, not for the faint of heart. I love the underlying story as it offers structure for the cataclysmic array of pictures in my head. Blasting beats, orchestral arrangements and rare moments to take a breath remind me a lot of old, uncompromised MASKED, which is an exceptionally good thing. I chose An Agonising Death as it greatly encapsulates the albums essence. Favorite track: An Agonising Death.

palehorse666 a burning hot new act crashes into the scene with a diabolical darksynth debut. the beauty and majesty of the orchestral and the crushing madness of the synthetic fuse into one horrible, unholy, musical amalgamation that only a truly heartless being could conceive. boys and girls, this is pure evil and pure fire straight from hell.
🔥☠️🔥 Favorite track: PRIEST KILLER.

THE CRUCIFIX. Darksynth and Orchestrals from the depths of the abyss.

MODE DEMISE tells the story of a character who exists in an extremely dark, dying world. In this world, the red sun rises every day, and a bloody rain pours from the sky. At night, you can see the icy moon in the sky, plunging the world into deep cold. This was always the case until "Eurydice, the Mother of All Churches" disappeared immediately after the birth of the child. The child disappeared with her, after which the flame of the church, which protects people from frosts at night, and bloody creatures descending from the sun during the day, was desecrated.

The plot of the album unfolds some time after these events. One night, a strange man arrives in the holy city, the fallen capitol of the kingdom. Dark black hair, bare to the waist; he looks lifeless and emaciated. Residents of the city look on with regret and fear at his protruding ribs, through the bars on the windows of their houses. On his bloodstained chest, the symbol of the cross is carved into his flesh. Chained to his wrist is a cross which he clutches in his hand. On the back hangs something like a stone coffin, in the shape of a crossed sword, from which the crying of a child is constantly heard.

He enters the church. As the doors close behind him, the church bursts into flames, consuming his earthly body. As his spirit falls deeper and deeper into the nether-realms, he passes through the curséd depths and into the abyss itself. There he finds Eurydice rotting alive. After an arduous battle with Eurydice, he removes the curse from her and gives her the child. After singing the last lullaby to the child, Eurydice dies, and the child dies with her. Their death releases incredible power that passes into the man with the cross, revealing the truth to him.

After returning to the capitol, where the most ordinary sun has risen for the first time in a long time, and everything seems to have gotten better, the man with the cross kills all the inhabitants, because "they can no longer be saved." With the help of an ancient spell he creates a ladder to the sky from the millions of corpses left in his wake, opening a gap in the clouds that forms a gateway to heaven.

Paradise has long since looked different to how it was imagined. It is now more like hell, filled with many corpses, where the ancient god, Goudi, sits upon his throne. The man with the cross fights a harrowing and savage battle with Goudi and wins,  but suffers injuries that leave him on the brink of death. Falling back to earth, he watches the last hellish sunset, during which all of the demons from heaven gather in packs to burn in the flames of the dying sun.

Instead of being extinguished, the sun gathers all the power of the demons, giving birth to a new terrifying creature that looks like a naked burning man floating in the air. After giving his all to defeat Goudi, the man with the cross dies. At this moment, the burning man looks up in horror at the sky, where an icy cold super-moon rises. The man with the cross slowly rises up to his feet behind him, resurrected. The mark on his chest burns with a black flame, and the choir sings louder and louder. He touches the burning man upon his forehead with a single finger, freezing him instantly and encasing him within a thick shroud of ice. The whole world freezes around him.

The man with the cross stands motionless, looking off into the darkening sky. In his life, he has known only one thing - to serve the moon. Why does the moon disappear from the sky after the sun has faded away? Where will he find his strength now? He has to find the answer, and time is running out. With the onset of absolute darkness, the world will be forced to awaken.
