Black Cross Hotel, the Chicago-based industrial/rock band, is set to release their new album Songs For Switches on Halloween, following their 2022 debut, HEX. Exploring themes of horror intertwined with personal growth and self-actualization, vocalist Dee DeEmme emphasizes the balance of practicality and dark fantasy in their music. The group, formed during the pandemic, features members from notable bands and recorded their latest work at the renowned Electrical Audio studio. Alongside the album, they’ll embark on a short tour starting October 29, with the lead single "The House God Doesn’t Visit" already available.
As horror and personal narrative intertwine in their music, how do you think exploring such themes affects the listener’s connection to the band’s message?
