Some musicians like using their platforms and their voices to call out injustice. โBlack Crosses in the Sunโ by AURORA BY NOON speaks up on wars, crises, tragedies, life, and love in a most poetic manner. Markus Sumereder devised the immaculate lyricism to give the album the depth it has today. Other than being the songwriter, he is also the leader, organizer, manager, and album producerโheโs basically the originator behind AURORA BY NOON and the reason we are hearing this ingenious alternative rock album today.
The 12-tracked debut album, โBlack Crosses in the Sun,โ released this February 28th, has a contemporary appeal to it while mixing traditional and classical elements and sounds within its hold, making itself a favorite to all sorts of rock music lovers. The more soulful tracks like โGo with the Flowโ and โThief in the Mirrorโ bring this genric diversity to the album that we love.
Starting off with โDirty Rules, Dirty Game,โ we get the gist of energetic electric guitar riffs, electrifying cymbals, and smashing drums. The vocals are intense and passionately vivid in portraying the soul within the lyrics.
While โDirty Rules, Dirty Gameโ was a heartfelt intro to the album, it was the build-up to the runner-up track, โBlack Crosses in the Sun.โ The 2nd track hangs a poetic illusion over a dreadful reality of wars.
The lyrics in the track โBlack Crosses in the Sunโ portray a double entendre of the black cross to be a despondent cry for help, and I presume thatโs probably why the album is named โBlack Crosses in the Sun.โ Just my take, but whatever the meaning is, it is a brilliant one, as is the rest of this album.
