This is where the purge begins — where the story of Bad Blood starts to unfold. We wrote it for anyone who’s ever felt invisible… and is finally ready to burn," shares the band.

UNDER BLACK SKY: THE NARRATIVE

“You are not alone. The sky has cracked. The blood remembers.”

The world was once bright — but the light was a lie.

Centuries ago, a secret Order vanished beneath the surface of history, burying knowledge too dangerous for the world above. This Order — now known only in whispers as The Order

Beneath — kept one truth sealed: that some voices are not born, but summoned… when the world turns on itself.

Now, the sky has cracked. From the fracture, sound bleeds through. Not music — a signal. A call.

Four souls answered.

They were not chosen. They were claimed.

Marked by pain. Branded by betrayal. Broken by a system that promised dreams and delivered chains. But from the ruins of their pasts, each one emerged transformed — avatars of chaos and clarity, shadow and scream. Not men. Not monsters. Something in between.

They are known only by their roles:

• KRYSIS - The Prophet — voice of the unspeakable. (Vocals)
• BEAST - The Executioner — fury without apology. (Drums)
• ONYX - The Seer — eyes that pierce the veil. (Guitar)
• JAXX - The Redeemer — bearer of the final key. (Bass Guitar)

Together, they are Under Black Sky — not a band, but a reckoning.

Their debut transmission, Bad Blood, is more than an album. It is the first chapter of an awakening. Each track unlocks another sigil in the codex. Another fragment of the truth long buried. As their presence spreads, so too does the influence of the Order Beneath.

Those who hear the message begin to change.

Reality glitches. Symbols surface in dreams. Crimson keys appear. Shattered glass reveals hidden figures. A storm begins to churn within them — not of fear, but of defiance. And then they know:

They are not alone.

The purge has begun.

And Under Black Sky is leading the charge.

Like this is the spark for the new album.

41
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:38.960
Tell us a story about that.

42
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.560
Well, I mean, I guess when we talk about Firefly,

43
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.319
we always like to say the Purge begins and we're

44
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.240
bringing you along and we're introducing you into our world,

45
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.439
and we're letting you know like that we're here, we're

46
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.319
not going anywhere, and this is what you're gonna this

47
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:55.879
is the kind of stuff that we're gonna hook you

48
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.960
in with. And that's how Firefly just it's an incredible hook,

49
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.319
and once it gets you, you can't get it out

50
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:04.599
your head. And you know it's there, and you know,

51
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:06.159
like you said, you want to listen to it more

52
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.280
than once. And then once it's there, it's like, oh, man,

53
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.240
get out of my head. And that's exactly what we

54
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:11.400
want to do to people.

55
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:12.080
No doubt.

56
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.080
I can't wait to get off the interview and listen

57
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.240
to it again. And what about the rest of the album,

58
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.080
Matt tell us a little bit about that.

59
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.680
It's pretty much, it's a good it's a good rollercoaster.

60
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.719
Well we go from we got some slower songs and

61
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.680
we got some really heavy bangers that's just gonna make

62
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.759
you make your head spin and just take you through

63
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:36.000
the emotions, take you through what we're feeling, you know

64
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.400
what what is a society needs to feel?

65
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.159
And it just takes you from start to finish.

66
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.479
And so for you as a musician, what was that

67
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:52.039
one moment in your lifetime that you knew this was

68
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:53.240
your mission right now?

69
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:56.719
You know.

70
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.919
It might be uh, you know if I was a

71
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.680
little like tiny kid and I'm watching Alex van Halen

72
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.960
with four bass drums, and that one moment was like

73
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:09.719
that is so cool.

74
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.319
I have to do what he's doing and I can't.

75
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.800
There's no if you turn on that video for Jump

76
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.399
right now and I still get the same feeling, right,

77
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.879
So that's that's what That's what kickstarted it.

78
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.120
That's way cool, you know.

79
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.360
And I always give credit to drummers more than most

80
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.279
musicians because I played drums for nine years and I

81
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:33.279
still sucked.

82
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:34.759
It's like you.

83
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:41.759
Definitely the coordination part alone. Sometimes I would feel like

84
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.120
it was like that thing when you're a little kid

85
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:45.519
and you're rubbing your head and your.

86
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:46.639
Belly at the same time.

87
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.279
To me, that was playing the drums, and so you know,

88
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.600
the fact that you have like this amazing talent that

89
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.399
you're bringing to us, that must have been I gotta say,

90
00:04:58.399 --> 00:04:59.680
it must have been a lot of work over the

91
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.959
years because the spark was way back when you were

92
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.519
seeing it for yourself, but then you when you were

93
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.920
doing it, Like, what would you say to other people

94
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:08.720
playing drums?

95
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.199
Just always be supportive of one another. I mean, everybody's

96
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.079
going to start somewhere and it's always not you know,

97
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.759
we always all of us suck. I'll tell you today,

98
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.720
you know, but it's just just you know, keeping positive

99
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.399
about it and knowing and I'll say this my dad,

100
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:27.279
you know, props to my dad.

101
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.519
He pushed me and he encouraged.

102
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.279
Me when I you know, when I when I needed it,

103
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.120
and he was always like my biggest fan. And to

104
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.800
have somebody like that in my corner is really just

105
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.160
really pushed me over the edge to keep going, to

106
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.279
keep at it. And like I said, just I would say,

107
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.000
just always be positive to one another.

108
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.560
And you know, I love what you said about your

109
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.879
dad because a lot of times parents aren't supportive of

110
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.199
you know, being a musician or many kinds of art.

111
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.439
And so I think the world needs to lie more

112
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.720
art and a lot more parents like yours that support

113
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:08.759
your art, right you know, because this world right now,

114
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.759
I think that's the best therapy. I think that's the

115
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:16.079
best escape from everything that's going on, is to consume

116
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.800
yourself in music, especially under Black Sky's music.

117
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.360
Oh yeah, So.

118
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.160
What else do you want to tell us about? How

119
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:33.519
you and the and like Crisis and Onyx and Jack's

120
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.319
all had that all come together.

121
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.519
So you know, we had we had known each other

122
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.000
through mutual friends and like I said, it always starts

123
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.439
with just the just the brotherhood of knowing that we

124
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.480
all had the same vision, that we all wanted to

125
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:50.720
do the same things and accomplish the same goals.

126
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.040
And so immediately.

127
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:56.759
Talking with Crisis with Jack's it was just it was unbelievable,

128
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.519
just the connection that we had and uh, you know,

129
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.839
bringing Onyx and filling you know, filling up the roster.

130
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.959
It just like I said, it just you know, you know,

131
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.720
when something comes together, when it comes together so perfectly

132
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.480
and it fits that that's that's that's what that's what

133
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.959
we started with, and that's that's kind of what's.

134
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.279
Gotten us this far, and it's just been an amazing ride.

135
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.560
Yeah, I think that's like one of the most important

136
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.319
things because listen, if you don't have that synergy for

137
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:29.360
making the music or being on stage, you know what

138
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:29.839
do you have?

139
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.279
Oh exactly, Like you really need to have like minded

140
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:37.279
individuals with you that share that vision. Otherwise it's it's not.

141
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:38.000
Going to go anywhere.

142
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:39.240
Yeah, And.

143
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:44.120
How else are you going to have fun and give

144
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:49.160
fun to us unless you guys are connected and really

145
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.720
like you can tell when you see people live on

146
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.000
stage whether you know they're just a bunch of bros

147
00:07:55.040 --> 00:08:00.680
having a great time. But also entertaining us, or they're

148
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.040
like going through the motions, or maybe they don't even

149
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:04.319
want to be with each other.

150
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.680
Right, And that's that's important too, because I mean we've

151
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.639
all been the concerts where they look like they're just

152
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.680
going through the motions and it's like, come on, man,

153
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.120
you guys are better than this, you know. And then

154
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.800
when we finally get up there, it's like it's like

155
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:18.959
knowing that we've wanted to do this for so long

156
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.079
and we're so grateful to be able to do this,

157
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:22.879
and you know, we want to.

158
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.160
Give it our all and give you everything. If you

159
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:26.920
give us everything, we'll give it back.

160
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.519
And return totally. I mean, it's kind of like Ozzie.

161
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:33.919
Okay, everybody loved Ozzie because Ozzy loved everybody in the

162
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.440
crowd and just loved what he was doing more than

163
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:37.399
anything else.

164
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.720
Oh yeah, and it's he was that was such a

165
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:46.600
loss to the music community, not just metal but music overall.

166
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.480
They I agree with you, a loss to the world overall,

167
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.440
because with everything, he was still a great human being,

168
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.720
a great musician, and I think he got a lot

169
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.240
of us through a lot of hard times, through many

170
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.840
many years, and I relate that to.

171
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.440
Your music too, because your music is.

172
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.679
Something that could take us somewhere else that is a better,

173
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:13.960
more positive place.

174
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.440
I certainly appreciate that. Just the comparison, you know, that's

175
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:19.159
that says a lot.

176
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.000
