Crüxshadows

Few groups cross over between the goth and comic/sci-fi communities quite like the Crüxshadows. The quartet’s music (which blends baroque melodies and rousing dance beats) and its wardrobe (which suggests that an oil tanker crashed into its closet) establish the group’s children-of-darkness credentials. On the other side of the equation, the male singer’s name, Rogue, gender-bends an X-Men moniker. Crüxshadows campaigned to save the doomed sci-fi cult hit Farscape, and its members have been approached about being characters in their own comic. Recently, Crüxshadows played an event called Dragoncon. Finally, the band has the prog set covered as well, with a 70-minute EP(!) that sports the most ornate angel-themed album cover that Nightwing never used.
