"This track is about trauma, survival and pushing back against the injustices of the world. Despite society's desire for tales of poetic justice and "perfect" victims, this is seldom the reality for those who live through such experiences. Survival is rarely poetic and those who do survive traumatic events are rarely left unscathed. This song is therefore also about pushing back against such warped societal expectations."

A hard hitting third single. Inspired by thrash metal and big powerful orchestral violence. The world has lost its way. The society is collapsing under pointless hostility, anger and hate. Amidst all that a small fragile soul is hurt and forgotten.

The second single from Soulcrux. A powerful track that hearkens to the power metal traditions of symphonic metal. A story about the past and the present trying to connect and reach each other across the abyss of time.

The first ever piece of music released by Soulcrux. Amelie’s Beautiful Colours is a touching account of a neglected young girl, who only desires what should belong to all by right as human beings: love, affection, care, a home, a family. The song is a story of Amelie, her brush and her colours.
