Bleached Cross & The True Faith "Columns of Impenetrable Light"

Columns of Impenetrable Light unites two commanding forces in modern post-punk—Bleached Cross and The True Faith—for a split that balances intensity with atmosphere. Both bands have long been drawn to themes of mortality and transcendence, and here they converge to deliver eight new tracks that stare unflinchingly into the liminal space between life and death.

Bleached Cross, known for their suffocatingly heavy darkwave approach, and The True Faith, with their brooding and melodic post-punk sensibilities, explore parallel yet distinct sonic worlds. Together, they create an immersive experience where driving basslines, icy synths, and mournful guitars reflect on despair, resilience, and the inexorable passage of time. The split is packaged in two unique vinyl colorways with reverse stock jackets and foil-stamped lettering, further elevating its stark beauty.

With artwork by Coward’s Way, Columns of Impenetrable Light is not just a collection of songs, but a complete audio-visual statement. It’s a record meant for late-night listening and deep contemplation—a soundtrack to the abyss and the fragile light that flickers within it. This split release marks a natural continuation of the bands’ previous collaboration on Exhumed, yet pushes their shared vision further into the shadows.
