1.) Cross was a Canadian RAC band that released the album "Rise and Conquer" in 1992.
6.) The career of this Swedish band spans over 8 albums (including a mini-symphony cd) released between 1988 and 2004. Their music has evolved from smooth, floydian like to dark, almost Crimsonesque proportions over the years. Their style could generally be described as heavy, complex neo-prog with a strong emphasis on melody. The band was founded by ex-VON LYX guitarist Hansi Cross whose highly emotional guitar work (sometimes reminiscent of Steve Hackett's) gives the band a sound approaching that of IT BITES. As for Cross' vocals, they are slightly reminiscent of Dave GILMOUR's.
Their first three albums - which are grouped on the compilation disk "Dream Reality" -offer a mixture of long epics interspersed with a few pop songs; they are mostly reminiscent of PINK FLOYD and TWELFTH NIGHT, and perhaps to some extent GENESIS circa "Wind and Wuthering" but with a heavy approach. The following four albums (starting with "Paradox") are heavier, darker, and somewhat akin to RUSH, ECHOLYN or ANEKDOTEN. They feature long melodic guitar solos with spacious keyboards but also bear enough time signatures to remind you of KING CRIMSOM. Their latest release, "Playgrounds", is a bit more tame and spacey.
Not essential but the first three albums may interest you if you're into GALLEON or GRAND STAND. The heavier sound of their later albums will appeal more to fans of ANEKDOTEN, LANDBERK and MORTE MACABRE.

The Ascension
Cross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rejecting love is Gaining traction
Final push of negative force
Dying gasp of the evil course
Isolate and divide
Fools cant decide
Chaos and confusion
How are we to feel?
All of us on even keel
Tiny thought of returned empire
Ascension to a social higher
Final push of narrow Pride
Rest of the world, looks and hides
Confront the future, head on now
Accept together, that's the how
Blood is blood, skin is skin
Bright light forward, let it all Begin
The lyrics of Cross's song "The Ascension" speak to the destructive power of small-mindedness and the importance of unity and love. The opening line, "Small minds make deadly action," suggests that when people refuse to embrace love and instead embrace negativity, it can lead to harmful consequences. The phrase "Rejecting love is gaining traction" highlights the alarming trend of choosing hate over compassion in today's society.
The lyrics continue with the idea of a final push of negative force, describing it as the dying gasp of an evil course. This portrays the negative actions and ideologies as something that is on its way out, but still dangerous until it fully dissipates. The theme of unity and togetherness is then emphasized, with lines like "Isolate and divide, fools can't decide" and "All we need is total fusion." These lines point out the damaging effect of division and call for unity as the solution.
The next part of the lyrics shift the focus to the concept of ascension and social advancement. The line "Tiny thought of returned empire" suggests a desire to reclaim a higher social status or regain lost power. However, this desire for ascension based on narrow pride is contrasted with the rest of the world looking on and hiding, implying that true progress and ascension can only be achieved through acceptance and embracing a brighter future.
The final lines, "Confront the future, head on now, accept together, that's the how, blood is blood, skin is skin, bright light forward, let it all begin," encourage individuals to face the challenges of the future with courage and openness. It emphasizes the importance of accepting and embracing our shared humanity, no matter our background or appearance. The lyrics ultimately advocate for a unified and inclusive approach to progress and change.
