Haunting!
Castle De Crux comprises Elysia De Crux and Exor Magus De Crux. They blend a clever mix of lived experiences, current global issues, and the consequential effects on human society and its mental health. The duo’s sound is darkly alternative, accompanied by striking imagery and video. In their musical, artistic and theatric expression, Elysia and Exor feel an affinity with artists Emilie Autumn, Nick Cave, Joy Division, Cradle of Filth and The Sisters Of Mercy, to name just a few. While Castle De Crux’s lyrical topics can be deadly serious at times, the band tempers this with a wicked sense of humour, striking a fine balance between dark morbidity, glamour and fun.
