In an interview with Ilker Yücel, Black Cross Hotel band members—Dee DeEmme, Marcus Eliopulos, Mike Miczek, and Sanford Parker—discussed their evolution since the debut album HEX, released amidst the pandemic. Their sophomore effort, Songs For Switches, explores themes of horror and reality, reflecting a deeper band dynamic. With a blend of rock, metal, and industrial influences, they emphasize the importance of collaborative songwriting and live performances, noting a growing confidence and experimental sound.
As they continue to captivate audiences with their lively shows, which evoke dance-party vibes rather than traditional mosh pits, they see potential for further genre experimentation. This evolution raises a question: How do you see the intersection of horror themes with real-world experiences influencing artistic expression in modern music?
