BLEACHED CROSS - Wrath LP NEW AND UNPLAYED New Morality Zine BLEACHED CROSS return with “Wrath”, a towering and emotionally devastating full-length that pushes the band’s blackened post-punk sound into darker and more cinematic territory than ever before. Across ten tracks, the Chicago band explore grief, loss, death, and redemption through crushing atmosphere, industrialized tension, and massive melodic hooks - all while balancing oppressive heaviness with moments of genuine vulnerability and catharsis. Recorded with Andy Nelson at Bricktop Recording in Chicago, “Wrath” was built with an obsessive focus on mood, pacing, and sound design, often creating intensity through noise, texture, and negative space rather than sheer force alone. The result is a record that feels immersive and haunted, pulling equally from darkwave, industrial music, post-punk, and extreme music while remaining deeply rooted in emotional storytelling. Following several releases and shows alongside artists like Frail Body, Secret Shame, Black Magnet, and Cloakroom, BLEACHED CROSS deliver their most focused and fully realized statement yet: a mournful, cinematic descent into personal hell that ultimately searches for healing in the shadow of loss.
