Progressive Metal
Where science meets philosophy, reason meets chaos
AXISTRAL CRUX is the progressive metal project by Adrian Pastén Lagos, exploring the axis where science meets philosophy, reason meets chaos, and cultures unite under the Southern Cross.
Born in Santiago de Chile under the Southern Cross, now based in Barcelona. The music bridges continents, eras, and ideas—from the glory and tragedy of ancient Rome to the philosophical frontiers of consciousness and free will.
