Our Future Is Dead

Drachensturm A cornucopia of 80s Metal, from Coroner to Mercyful Fate and Iron Maiden, with very much their own sound so it sounds fresh and original. Huge variety in the vocals from NWOBHM to snot nosed Punk, great guitar melodies and solos and superbly mixed so it can all be heard clearly. Endless Battle could easily have been on the 1986 Transformers OST. A must for old school Metalheads.

mike burgess Good solid but rough around the edges 70s inspired hard rock/metal. Shows promising songwriting and excellent catchy riffs. Good musicianship for a first effort. With a bit of polish and refinement could be something special akin to a band like the sword. Favorite track: Endless Battle.

Shadowplay 03:15
Everyday it's getting worse Plucking into the peoples purse What's it called where we made to pay It has its name it's Shadowplay Forcing the weak Into becoming more meek Battering the poor Til they suffer no more Peace through tyranny Sacrificing the needs of the many There must be a better way We have the power to make them pay Shadowplay is the way It's how it's played out Shadowplay is the way There is no more doubt,

Ashes 05:20
Ashes of the old life Ashes of the lonely ones Ashes of the innocent Remnants of that day Ashes of the Dead Ashes of the left behind Ashes of the life that was Remnants of that day Ashes of the old life Ashes of the scarred and lost Ashes of the forgotten Remants of that day Ashes of the Dead Ashes of the left behind Ashes of the life that was Remnants of that day Bodies scattered across the scape, bones and dirt left awake Burnt and sordid crumbling flesh, frozen in time, Nothing left.

Battle for millennia Battle for autonomy Battle without end Battle with philosophy Both sides fight for peace and land Both sides fight for truth & law Deception in their channels The victory and ends at hand Violence breeds violence No side is free from guilt no Violence breeds violence Ties are cut and links are built no Warriors fight for freedom Warriors fight for peace Till all are one

It runs deep in his blood It cannot be broken It goes against his will It goes unspoken Tainted legacy Hidden within Tainted legacy Evil to begin Can he break the chain Can he be free Seeing the mistakes Is the only way to be Acts of horror Grimly devised Acts of horror Past revised Searching for meaning Damned by design Searching for feelings Contradictions Align Severed link, old ways die New ethos to live By Damaged goods Lay fallow by grace Not out of the woods No earth to replace Tainted legacy Grimly devised Tainted legacy Past revised

Rough Spark 03:07
Taken by forces unseen by view Masked by laughter, spilt In two Secret Battle of wills and mind One side lost, all love left behind A free spirt locked in cycle of doom One of many in this mortal tomb System broken, Poisons the spirit Not first,not last to reach a limit Rough spark, never forgotten Rough spark, never downtrodden Rough spark, forever young Rough spark, a martyrdom Complex issues led to thier fall Deeply felt,but some are enthralled We All feel that pain, no relief Wish to overcome, lack of belief Demons hide in plain sight It's up to us all to stand and fight Protect, be open, call it out Don't shy away, be clear and flout Rough spark, forever young Rough spark, a martyrdom Rough spark, we all are a Rough spark Rough spark

Sad Future 02:33
Do you recall when the world was free History tells us it wasn't meant to be First they took away our rights Then they took the will to fight Our future is dead, we are lost souls Slaves to the powers, empty shells I wish we had awoken to the powers that rule Risen and changed the the path for all Now it's too late, the fight has been lost The future isn't ours, that was the cost Back then the choices were clear Rise together as peer to peer

Fragments of dust Specks in the air Cosmic matter Visually impaired Smaller than belief Affairs so pointless Drops in the ocean We let anger define us What unites us destroys us What leads us poisons us There has to be a unity Some will call it mutiny We feel it build up The end is Coming Feel it in our souls The pain is numbin Let it come Let fire sweep clean the earth Burn away this race,this curse

about

An enigma wrapped in a legend. We formed in Rugby UK, We played approximately 27 gigs in our short history, we formed in 2014, practiced for a year before our first gig in 2015, and ended after our last gig in 2017. This album release is the last and final recordings of Wounded Cross. They are a snap shot of a band that truly didn't really fit in with any band we ever played with. Be it The Skull, Ohhms, Witchsorrrow, Kaine, or any of the varied and superb bands that we shared stages with. Our sound was our own, and every song was different in its own way. Our future is dead fits for the album because of the lyrical content about the end times, and the fact that the band is truly over, this album ends it fully and finally.

This album is free to download through bandcamp, There will be no physical version of this album unless there is sudden unprecedented demand for it, but it will be on all streaming platforms by July 3rd.

This recording is not polished. It's very RAW, and it's LIVE. We felt this fits with the style of the music and ethos of wounded cross.

We are proud of the songs and this album is our lasting legacy. We hope you enjoy it. Thank you for following us. We love you all.

about

Wounded Cross Rugby, UK

Wounded Cross were originally formed in 2013 by then bassist Ian and vocalist Graham. The vision for the band was originally a doom band but over time more rock influences seeped into the song writing and Guitarist Tommy became principal song writer. Influences were different from all members, and Together we crafted our own path. That version of the band broke up in 2017. ... more
