THE HIDDEN REALM
Immerse yourself in a dark and musical journey of haunting tales and scary dramas. Such that
bear great relevance in the busy and ultra-competitive lifestyle the world currently asserts.
Welcome to the hidden realm and the intriguing castle, a metaphor of the condition of the human
mind. The foreboding fortress represents modern life where the ultimate monsters reside. It is no
wonder that the mental health of our society is fast becoming a bigger concern than ever before!
Elysia De Crux and Exor Magus De Crux
Founded by Exor and Elysia, Castle De Crux is a place that metaphorically and symbolically
represents different psychological states of mind.
The castle and it's environment takes shape and form according to the mindset of the individual. Whether those mind states are good, bad, light, dark, benevolent or malevolent.
So, depending on the psychology of any participating individual at any given time, the castle can change in appearance and composition in ways that range from the very subtle to the very drastic. From peace and joyfullness to total shock and horror.
We cautiously but warmly welcome thee to the musical duo...*CASTLE DE CRUX*
For example, on the side of beautiful light and feeling positive and safe, it can be place of contentment
and peace, with beautiful thriving gardens full of life and fresh air.
Exor and Elysia enjoy a peaceful roof garden in the castle. One of the many mutally happy place's that they share mentally
Yet with more negative states of mind, the castle can transform into a challenging and hostile environment. Escape is crucial for here, darkness and depression prevails. The rooms become sinister and begin to morph and as you navigate the maze of corridors and chambers, strange and disturbing portraits (often of the self) seem to spy on you as you try to find a way out.
On the most extreme degrees of mental breakdown and insanity, dank dungeons, torturous traps and terrifying monsters can appear in the castle's metamorphosis, truly self-conjured horror's that once in the mind become very real... interpreted as existing entities of evil that feed on pain.
Metaphorical it may be, but it's horrors can represent the very real ones that many people face daily concerning intense daily pressures and events that can lead to on a mental illness. When the horrors in real life, like in the castle have become the dominating and oftentimes sole focus of any one person's life. We know it's extremely tough to cope and heal alone, without support and a lot of care.
Should you find yourself in the castle, be prepared for anything!
The musical duo of Castle De Crux... Elysia and Exor, believe that their own personal experiences in both the dark and the light have inspired and equipped them to invent and build this metaphoric castle of mental states, towards recovery and redemption. Fans are encouraged to immerse themselves in the multimedia world of the Castle with the understanding that it is metaphoric and symbolic, a part of a backdrop for the music if you will.
Who will hold open the heavy doors when we are left so exhausted? Who will bring their patience and help solve the Castle's maddening riddles when we are already confused? Who, when we have reached our limit, will light the way and install the confidence needed to 'believe' when we feel alone?
