Breaking down genre boundaries and casting aside traditional song structures, CRUCE SIGNATUS’ unique blend of synthwave and heavy metal emphasizes repeated build-ups, continually stacking melodies and rhythms into polyphonic climaxes. “Gehenna Et Tartareum”, available now, provides a taste of the forthcoming release. The album is out on June 7th.
David Frazer comments:
“Taking influences from a wide variety of sources, from the cinematic compositions of HANS ZIMMER and BASIL POLEDOURIS to the dark, brooding synthwave of GOST and PERTURBATOR, all passed through a heavy metal filter, CRUCE SIGNATUS represents a dynamic, ambitious venture into new musical realms.”

About Cruce Signatus:
CRUCE SIGNATUS’ self-titled debut is the first of four epic concept albums which form the musical soundscape for a feature-length, animated anthology series. In collaboration with Heavy Metal Magazine illustrators such as Vincent Kings & Chris Anderson, this series unfolds the tale of an impoverished knight’s quest to confront his sins as he navigates the monstrous brutality of the First Crusade.
