Editor's note

The Crüxshadows, a darkwave band with atmospheric synths

Formed in 1992, they built a sound on love and loss through albums like 'Night Crawls In' and 'Forever'.

For a sense of their sound, try 'Angelus Everlasting' or 'Forever Last'.

They worked through early label resistance to release albums like 'Night Crawls In' in 1996 and 'Echoes and Artifacts' in 2006, leaning into darkwave with atmospheric synths and ethereal vocals. Songs like 'Angelus Everlasting' and 'Defender' explore themes of love and loss, while incorporating classical and industrial elements on later work like 'Forever' from 2013. The band's collaborative process between Rogue and Peterson has kept their direction steady without much industry fanfare.

The Crüxshadows formed in 1992 with founding members Rogue and Chris Peterson. Their lineup has shifted over time, with Rogue on vocals and keyboards and Peterson on guitar and bass, while current members include Sarah McTaggart, Aaron Turner, and Scott Landes.
