Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Cruxshadows (stylized as The Crüxshadows) are a Dark Wave band from Jacksonville, Florida. While a Goth band, their lyrics sound more like very peppy motivational speeches than the Straw Nihilist attitude that the goth scene's detractors tend to associate with the movement. In keeping with these themes, The Cruxshadows also keep up an aesthetic that is a combination of Cyber Goth and Perky Goth. Their music revolves around fantastical and mythological themes, and their music videos often use elements of Science Fiction. While not explicitly religious, The Cruxshadows' music explores the concepts of divinity and spirituality. Battle metaphors (often drawn from the Greek and Roman classics) are used frequently as well.The lead singer Rogue is a trained artist and a huge fan of classical Greek and Egyptian Mythology, which are mentioned frequently in The Cruxshadows' work. He is the only constant member of the band, as the other members tend to be Put on a Bus, or suffer from Chuck Cunningham Syndrome. Rogue is mostly known for his spider-like gothic hairstyle and singing in what sounds suspiciously like a British accent.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })John Ringo, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Caitlin R. Kiernan are huge fans of the band. | |

Concept Album: Ethernaut tells the story of the fall of Troy from the Trojan point of view. Fittingly, the following album, DreamCypher, references Virgil's The Aeneid, about the journey of refugees from Troy to what would later become Rome. | |

SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism | |
| The Cruxshadows (Music) / int_3ac583f4 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: The Cruxshadows' albums all take place in a world that emphasizes the virtues of Knight in Shining Armor style chivalry and heroism (and Heroic Sacrifice to protect and defend others), guided by Guardian Angel figures and just and benevolent incarnations of divinity - thus, they are very far along the idealistic end, even in some of their more tragic ballads. | |

War Is Glorious | |
| The Cruxshadows (Music) / int_44cdd259 | comment |
War Is Glorious: A natural result of some of the albums being earnest retellings of The Illiad and The Aeneid, stories about epic battles in which gods take human sides, as well as "Titan", which is more generally about the Heroic Sacrifice of a warrior or soldier. However, the tragedy of loss in battle is still explored in The Cruxshadows' songs that allude to this trope. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| The Cruxshadows (Music) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: The debut album Night Crawls In is a very stereotypical "gothic" musical jaunt full of gloomy, dissonant violin riffs and despondent lyrics, and noticeably lacks many of the later albums' more hopeful energy or inspirational themes. The various cultural and literary references characteristic of later albums are also entirely absent. While Egyptian mythology and the Egyptian pantheon of deities play a fairly big role in the lyrics, song titles, and album art on Telemetry of a Fallen Angel and Mystery of the Whisper, Egyptian motifs are entirely dropped from Wishfire onwards. | |

Dark Is Not Evil | |
| The Cruxshadows (Music) / int_575fd5e2 | comment |
Dark Is Not Evil: "Leave Me Alone" is an earlier Cruxshadows song about how the Gothic subculture largely represents this trope. (Emphasized in contrast to the Dark Is Evil quotes about the "violent and black" Gothic movement sampled in the Shaft 20/20 remix of the song.) The Cruxshadows themselves certainly count as an example of dark is not evil, as many of Rogue's lyrics are about persevering through hardships and the importance of being a good person. | |

Dramatic Space Drifting | |
| The Cruxshadows (Music) / int_61e43473 | comment |
Dramatic Space Drifting: A large portion of the story concept of Telemetry of a Fallen Angel is about a lost satellite adrift in space. The idea is revisited in Astromythology, which features a narrator (in "Singularities" and "Astromythology") adrift in space, describing their feelings of hope and fear. | |

All Myths Are True | |
| The Cruxshadows (Music) / int_776a06eb | comment |
All Myths Are True: One thing consistently stated by Rogue in interviews is that mythical figures and spiritual concepts from various cultural sources around the world and across history are used in The Cruxshadows' lyrics to emphasize the universal significance of the themes they allude to. As such, Egyptian Mythology, Greek Mythology, Norse Mythology, allusions to the eastern concept of karma, and some very obvious Ambiguously Christian motifs all feature comfortably alongside one another in The Cruxshadows' albums - not to mention the consciously designed Yin-Yang Bomb-themed logo. | |

The Paragon | |
| The Cruxshadows (Music) / int_89623e9a | comment |
The Paragon: Much of The Cruxshadows' music is based on the idea of an aspirational heroic and moral ideal of a human being (represented by the image of a Knight in Shining Armor) that fans and listeners can aspire to be like. | |

Blue Blood: Rogue was revealed to be from this kind of background after his real name, Virgil Roger du Pont III, was revealed on Wikipedia and in the media. It is usually not considered good form to mention this around the band or their fans. | |

Not Christian Rock | |
| The Cruxshadows (Music) / int_cda5af50 | comment |
Not Christian Rock: In an interview, lead singer Rogue (who comes from a Catholic background) stated that the name of the band and the band's logo (which is inspired by the Eastern Orthodox Cross — also infamously appropriated by Industrial musicians and infamous trolls Psychic TV) are inspired by a story about the followers of Christ who stood in the shadow of the cross. However, in spite of several songs that talk about or explicitly mention God, The Cruxshadows' themes are intended to represent universal concepts. (For example, the "shadow of the cross" anecdote is meant as a metaphor for social outsiders in general.) | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| The Cruxshadows (Music) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: The Cruxshadows are pretty much this in contrast to the Goth / Industrial scene in general. Their Darker and Edgier first album, ...Night Crawls In, is more stereotypically gloomy, spooky, and generally "gothic" in content. Their next couple of albums followed suit. Over time, their lyrics have been more and more prone to sound like the contents of an uplifting Rousing Speech about hope, courage, and morality in the form of a song. | |

Feather Motif: It is on some of the band's merchandise, which makes sense since angels feature in a few of their songs, and variants of Winged Humanoid are a common sight on their album covers and promotional materials. | |

Hidden Track: Ethernaut has three hidden songs; the first, "Esoterica (Through the Ether)" plays immediately after the last listed track, the second, "Helen," is hidden behind three tracks of silence, and the third, "Live, Love, Be, Believe (Recalling the Dream)" plays after yet another silent track. | |

Dark Reprise | |
| The Cruxshadows (Music) / int_f3fd818b | comment |
Dark Reprise: "Winterborn" gets one of these with "A Stranger Moment" from Ethernaut, which uses the same progression as the former's main riff and verse. The formers' lyrics speak of a hero's Last Stand in a Darkest Hour, while the latter appears to be about the character's Apocalyptic Log or a Message in a Bottle to his loved ones. | |
