Biography
The Castle doors are open...what will be unleashed? Elysia and Exor are 'Castle De Crux', a duo ready to embark with you on harrowing musical and visual journeys to crack the puzzle and escape the claws of darkness! The band's debut single 'Demon in My Skin' has received much radio airplay, while their EP and single releases of June 2024 enjoy current media buzz, kicking off the newly formed Castle De Crux's musical journey.
Hailing from the UK, dark alternative duo Elysia and Exor draw inspiration from their past experiences and obstacles. 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. After a tumultuous journey of various traumas and victories, Elysia is ready to share her story through music and other media. A powerful singer with terrific range, she combines passion and creativity to testify and offer hope to others suffering similar difficulties. Exor's concern for humanity and the planet becomes apparent through his musical and artistic skills. As well as a dynamic music producer and creative video director, assisted by Elysia, Exor transforms lyrics and tunes by Elysia and himself into powerful and impactful recordings and creatively potent video experiences. The pair feel an affinity with artists Emilie Autumn, Nick Cave, Joy Division, Cradle of Filth and The Sisters Of Mercy, to name just a few.
Castle De Crux enjoy their creative process and craft all their music and visuals in-house as much as possible, to avoid diluting or misconstruing their message as much as possible. The recording process is very creative and hands-on, and the duo reap a great sense of fun and reward hearing the results come together in studio playback. It’s been a momentous new start for Elysia. She feels part of a meaningful and ongoing project to pour her creative drive into. Exor has many years of experience in the music industry, so his confidence and expertise played a crucial role in enabling a more informed approach to producing music. Both artists have found it surreal, yet wonderful, to hear radio presenters and DJs announce and play their music so enthusiastically, with listeners' responses being very affirming.
Look closer... you will see a symbolic Castle; a recurring metaphor hidden in their imagery... The Castle is a metaphor for the human mind and its varying mental conditions, both good and bad. Hopes, dreams, fears and frailties come to life represented by the Castles changing form, from peace and happiness to downright scary and horrific. The Castle's design reflects modern reality with all the extremes one's mentality can reach. For example, the castle can morph into a sinister foreboding environment, physically emulating fear, hate and depression. This same Castle can also transform into a haven of life and light when true happiness, peace and healing are attained.
