AZURE EMOTE drop a new lyric video for the track ‘Into Abysmal Oblivion’ that features guest solos by James Murphy and Andy La Rocque. The song is taken from the current full-length Cryptic Aura, which was released on July 25, 2025. Cryptic Aura is the fourth studio album of the American progressive death alchemists.

AZURE EMOTE comment: “This song is about the ghosts of past generations that came before us, scrambling to navigate this labyrinth called life, all while tumbling towards the same forgotten oblivion we face today”, mastermind Mike Hrubovcak states. “Eventually, all the memories of anything we hold onto so passionately will be erased and forgotten to the abyss of time.”

AZURE EMOTE comment: “Overall, ‘Bleed with the Moon’ is conceptually very simple and straightforward, but also one of the more personal songs on the album”, mastermind Mike Hrubovcak reveals. “Alcohol is a demon and I’ve named him Al-Kuhl. This analogy is based on my personal experiences and the lyrics are about getting possessed by this demon around a bonfire in the woods at night. I’m not trying to glorify excessive drinking here. I rather artistically convey the passion, euphoria, and physical and mental dangers of convening with such ‘spirits’ in the heat of the moment. I have a love/hate relationship with Al-Kuhl and I have learned that eventually it ends up taking much more than it gives. This song was written during such a night however, and even the album cover is a photo of a homemade skeleton that I made and burned in the woods along with a bottle and a bonfire.”

AZURE EMOTE present the video clip ‘Disease of the Soul’ as the next single taken from their new full-length Cryptic Aura. The fourth studio album of the American progressive death alchemists has been slated for release on July 25, 2025.

AZURE EMOTE comment:  “The dichotomy of silver and gold is forever entangled in our lives and pulling our proverbial strings”, mastermind Mike Hrubovcak states. ”This world suffers from an oppressive wealth corruption that engulfs every human soul. A landscape of crushed hopes is polluting our intentions and confusing our innate senses. When we relinquish control over to fear, the uncertainty slowly erodes our focus from what is meaningful to that which is an endless struggle. Much like the quick glimmer of silver and gold, it quickly passes like our reflection in the mirror over time. This hell that we try to erase, reflects on us face to face, as we observe this daily calamity and struggle with the agony of reality.”
