lyrics

In the morning frost, I see the northern cross
I breathe the thawing air of their pulse
In surrounding mist, by other worlds we're kissed
Encroaching evermore through the dark

Crossed the the star-strewn bliss as I -
gazed of the endless straits
Vastness, eternal void of our hearts
Under the Northern Cross
Lights of the Northern Cross
Reach for the Northern cross as it shine

This the mortal coil, meant to grind an toil
or meant to learn and grow and evolve
Life duplicitous, polarized and missed
Twist the split perspective we've known

Crossed the the star-strewn bliss as I -
gazed of the endless straits
Vastness, eternal void of our hearts
Under the Northern Cross
Lights of the Northern Cross
Reach for the Northern cross as it shine

From the blue-ish swirl, we traverse this world
Through the depths and heights have I gone with you
Yours the open view- amongst the hidden few
a path revealed, rejoiced and less tread upon

Crossed the the star-strewn bliss as I -
gazed of the endless straits
Vastness, eternal void of our hearts
Under the Northern Cross
Lights of the Northern Cross
Reach for the Northern cross as it shine

A Pleasure
by NOIR

Outstanding electro-infused darkwave from the voice of NYC goth progenitors Fahrenheit 451. With NOIR, Athan Maroulis, and co. keep the dark muse pedestaled, replete with a sublime Fad Gadget tribute. A Cloud of Ravens

by The Unquiet Grave

The final installation of this classic, influential series. A Cloud of Ravens

Are You Afraid of the Dark?
by SCARY BLACK

Albie Mason’s profound, atmospheric soundscapes steer as much toward the classics as they do new, bleak pastures. A go-to artist for modern gothic. A Cloud of Ravens

It's so hard to pick just one favourite track. The whole album is just so magical, so special! It's like a warm shroud of enveloping, nourishing darkness. Onyx Tomb

I've enjoyed The Wake since the 90s. The new album feels like a trip to right where they left off! Goth Rock at it's best! I can't wait to see where they go from here!! aklosowski22

Strangers
by Grey Gallows

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
