Finding the Sacred in the Dark: Horror Sacri Reviewed in Rock Hard Italy It’s an honour to see Horror Sacri featured in Rock Hard Italy, receiving 7.5/10. They wrote about it as “a paradigm of inner exploration” — a phrase that captures perfectly what the album was meant to be: a reflection of the…

Horror Sacri on the Charts I recently took a look at how the tracks from my latest album Horror Sacri performed on RepostExchange — a platform where independent artists can share and promote each other’s music, and where listener engagement shapes the Pop/Rock and overall Top 40 charts. Here’s how…

Back to the Neon Shadows errorbit returns. New EP Resurrection out now — I’m on guitars in “Shinjuku Vampire” and “Neon Blood.” It’s dark. It’s loud. It’s alive.

Old Friends, Old Dreams Last night I met up with some of my old classmates — and my oldest friend, the one I started making music with when we were ten. We shared memories, tried his new instruments, and realized something beautiful: the dreams we had as kids… we actually made them come true.…

5000 Views — A Quiet Milestone It may not seem much in a world ruled by numbers — but for me, it means everything. Five thousand times, someone stepped into this quiet world I’ve been shaping with sound and thought. Thank you for listening, for feeling, for being here. 🖤

New Milestone — and First Review for Horror Sacri The first review of Horror Sacri is here — and I’m deeply moved by the words from Metal Digest. They called it “a bold leap” and praised not only the layered sound, but also my debut as a vocalist — something that was a huge step out of my comfort…

Miserere at the Top: A Moment of Gratitude Miserere just climbed to #1 on the Re-Ex Pop/Rock Top 40 (and #9 overall). It’s my second track to reach the top spot from the new album — a reminder that this music really does connect. Thank you for listening and sharing.

Chains of Faith, Echoes of Doubt I don’t write about religion to preach. I write because I know the weight of being raised under guilt and fear—and how those marks stay with you, even long after you see through the contradictions.

Making music often feels like shouting into an empty well, only to hear your own echo. I don’t know how other indie artists deal with this, but I’m struggling right now.

Five Years of Darkwave: From a $150 Guitar to Grand Visions Five years ago, I pressed ‘record’ with nothing but a cheap guitar and no idea what I was doing. Today, Darkwave stands as the echo of that first step–raw, imperfect, but alive.This is the story of how it began, and where it’s heading next

Of Fireballs and First Steps My first ever recording wasn’t even my own song—it was Deep Purple’s “Fools.” Rough, naïve, and painfully unpolished, yet it marks the true beginning of Darkwave. Today, on Fireball’s anniversary, I’m finally sharing it.

Of Failures and Small Victories Sometimes the hardest part of being an artist isn’t the music itself, but the silence that follows. Here’s what I’ve learned from that silence.

Why I Write About Darkness A journey through darkness and light, from my earliest poems to Darkwave’s music—exploring why shadows reveal the soul, and how words can touch hearts even in the night.

Against the Odds I already touched briefly on how hard it is for indie musicians to reach real listeners. The thought stayed with me—so I went deeper.

Inspirations Revisited My music was never born in silence—it carries echoes of books, questions, and shadows I have lived with. I wrote about those inspirations once, and their voices still linger. f this resonates, you can find the full post on my website.

The Hardest Ascent Was Letting Go Sometimes the toughest climb isn’t on the wall, but in letting go. Today I share a decision years in the making.

Vox in Tenebris: A voice carried through shadows — join me on Patreon! In the endless noise, true voices are fading. On Patreon, I’m opening a more intimate space — beyond the public surface, into the shadows where my music is born. Step inside, and share the journey.

Through the Curators’ Ears: The Journey of Ego Mortuus Sum I sent Ego Mortuus Sum to a few playlist curators on SubmitHub. The feedback? 💥 Strong riffs, prog elements, solid musicianship. ⚡ But a bit too atmospheric for their audiences. Conclusion: my music speaks most to those who enjoy both…

A Milestone for Horror Sacri: #1 on the Charts For the first time ever, one of my songs has reached #1 on the RepostExchange charts. Ego Mortuus Sum from Horror Sacri now stands at the top of both the Pop-Rock and overall Top 40 lists—a milestone I never imagined. Thank you all for the support…

Lyrics of Loss, Music of Hope The first draft of my next album’s lyrics is complete—six and a half pages of struggle, love, loss, and hope. At its heart lies one timeless question: can love outlast death?

Why My Music Uses Christian Symbolism Christian symbols haunt my songs. Not to preach, but to give form to questions that echo in all of us: life, death, and what might endure. Read more on my blog.

Listening to the Dead I listen to voices that death has silenced. Their music remains, whispering through the void. It makes me wonder if what we create can outlive us—and if that’s where meaning hides.

What’s Next After Horror Sacri? A Journey Through Love and Loss My next album will explore one question: does love have value in itself—even when unreturned or rejected? A journey from hope through denial and rage to peace, where love endures even beyond death.

Back to the routine Monday morning reflection on the past few weeks, and an overview of the preparatory work on the lyrics for the next release… 😊

The Sacred Horror in Words Introduction to the lyrics of Horror Sacri – Beyond the Words For me, Horror Sacri is more than music – it is a journey along the borderlands of darkness and light. Contrary to my previous albums, these songs are not only built from sound; through their lyrics they open…

Horror Sacri – an Inner Confession Many people have asked me what inspired the lyrics of Horror Sacri. Why did I choose this subject? What is my personal story behind the album? It’s not easy to answer briefly, because every line of this record is the trace of deeply personal experiences and a…

Horror Sacri (2025) The fourth Darkwave album marks a clear departure from its predecessors — and not just musically. For the first time in the project’s history, vocals appear alongside the instrumental compositions. This new element adds an essential dimension of expression, allowing the music’s…

New Video: Pacem Meam Do Vobis The closing track of Horror Sacri now has its own visual form. Pacem Meam Do Vobis unfolds as both prayer and dirge — a meditation on peace, fear, and finality. The video mirrors the music’s tension between sacred promise and mortal silence, offering a glimpse into…

Track by Track – 8. Pacem Meam Do Vobis “Pacem Meam Do Vobis” closes the album with a paradox: a promise of peace wrapped in the shadow of death. Borrowing its title from the words of Christ in John 14:27 — “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you” — the song meditates on the tension…

Track by Track – 7. Soul Hunt “Soul Hunt” is one of the most direct and visceral tracks on the album — a relentless vision of unseen warfare, where human souls are the prize in an eternal struggle between forces far greater than ourselves. Based on one of my oldest lyrics ever written, the song…

Track by Track – 6. Secreta “Secreta” — Latin for “secret” or “secrets” — takes its name and text from a lesser-known part of the traditional Roman Catholic Mass: a quiet prayer, spoken in a low voice by the priest at the end of the Offertory. On this album, the prayer becomes something more…

Track by Track – 5. Miserere “Miserere” is the sole instrumental piece on the album — a moment of wordless expression that forms a bridge between this release and Darkwave's earlier, fully instrumental works. Deeply rooted in classical influences, it recalls the spirit of Postcommunio (from the…

Track by Track – 4. Messiah of Shrinking Shores “Messiah of Shrinking Shores” unfolds like a sorrowful parable — the story of a soul who gave everything, only to be abandoned by both Heaven and Earth. Written in poetic form years ago, the lyrics speak in third person, echoing the voice of someone…

Track by Track – 3. Ego mortuus sum “Ego mortuus sum” (“I am dead”) marks a violent turning point on the album — a cry from the edge featuring the fierce vocal presence of Fredrik Keith Croona (Against I). Musically, it’s a collision of extremes: progressive structures twist through shifting time…

Track by Track – 2. Impressions… The Black Virgin Impressions… The Black Virgin is rooted in a personal poem written over two decades ago. Originally conceived as a tribute to the gothic metal pioneers Virgin Black — whose music explored the spiritual and the sublime — the piece gradually evolved…

Track by track – 1. Dies Irae Dies Irae — "The Day of Wrath" — draws its name and inspiration from the iconic medieval Latin hymn that envisions the Last Judgment: a cataclysmic reckoning where the trumpet sounds, the dead rise, and every soul stands trial before an all-powerful Judge.…

Unveiling the Cover of Horror Sacri I’m proud to share with you the official cover artwork of Horror Sacri, the new Darkwave album — a visual that captures the essence of what this record is all about: reverence and decay, silence and scream, light and darkness intertwined in a sacred dance of…

A Theology of Ruins: Into the New Darkwave Album At once intimate and apocalyptic, the new Darkwave album is a descent into the fractured soul of Western spirituality — a sonic journey where classical influence meets progressive metal, and sacred texts collide with personal despair. Across eight…

No Vision is Born Alone — In Gratitude As my new album Horror Sacri prepares to unfold its wings, I pause to offer my deepest thanks to the souls who walked beside me in the shadows and light — not only as gifted artists, but as kindred spirits. Their presence shaped this record in ways no words…

2025 is already shaping up to be an exciting year for album releases! This time, I took a deep dive into the dark, crushing and emotional debut album of Spiine, an amazing blackened doom project by Sesca (Virgin Black) and Xen (ex-Ne Obliviscaris). kronosmortusnews.com/2025/02/22/s...

The first time I’m going to have vocals in one of my tracks - now I feel like I put my feet on the ultimate Terra Incognita. It’s a terrifying feeling, but it’s also fascinating and inspiring at the same time.
