Cross Bringer Puts the World Under “Desolation Hypnosis” (Track Premiere)

Published: January 28, 2025

The mire between black metal and screamo likely wouldn’t have existed without unfettered access to music granted by the internet, much like how Cross Bringer would not exist without the ability to communicate with virtually anyone through the internet. Their members are currently situated in the United States, Russia, Belgium, and Cyprus, though that’s had little effect on their cohesiveness. As their latest single “Desolation Hypnosis” shows, distance cannot dampen them. Check it out below. 

“Desolation Hypnosis,” the first track from Cross Bringer’s upcoming second album Healismus Aeternus, flexes the group’s use of space. They oscillate between speedy staccato stretches and airy dirges, shifting gears without a moment’s notice to highlight the contrast. Each speed operates with a venom so strong that you’d swear it was created in an underground lab. While Healismus Aeternus’ later tracks reflect Cross Bringer’ newfound ear for melody, “Desolation Hypnosis” has no time for anything but forward momentum.

Cross Bringer’s vocalist Lina comments:

As the first chapter of Healismus Aeternus, “Desolation Hypnosis” invites a haunting exploration of inner thresholds, where the allure of ultimate liberation intertwines with sacrificial desire and a shadowy satisfaction found in deliberate suffering, setting the stage for a compelling journey beyond spiritual boundaries.

Healismus Aeternus releases February 21 via Consouling Sounds in Europe and Silent Pendulum in the United States.
