Cruce Signatus

Breaking down genre boundaries and casting aside traditional song structures, Cruce Signatus’ unique blend of synthwave and heavy metal emphasizes repeated build-ups, continually stacking melodies and rhythms into polyphonic climaxes. A single instrumental track spread across four epic concept albums, Cruce Signatus forms the musical soundscape for a feature-length, animated anthology series. 

In collaboration with Heavy Metal Magazine illustrators such as Vincent Kings & Chris Anderson, this animated series unfolds the tale of an impoverished knight’s quest to confront his sins as he navigates the monstrous brutality of the First Crusade. A passion project composed and performed entirely by David Frazer (Pillaging Villagers), Cruce Signatus represents a dynamic, ambitious venture into new musical realms.
