Greek power metal band POWERCROSS have released the official lyric video for “Sign of the Cross”, the opening track of their upcoming album Echoes of Elysium – Part I. The album will be released on 16 January 2027 by Elevate Records, on CD and on all major digital platforms.
“Sign of the Cross” sets the tone for the whole record with the battle-hymn urgency of an opener, driven by crushing riffs, high-octane tempos and soaring melodic harmonies, in the tradition of classic European power metal and with a raw energy that keeps it firmly in the present.
Conceived as the first chapter of a two-part concept, Echoes of Elysium – Part I builds a richly layered world around themes of myth, loss and transcendence. Its eight tracks are each a self-contained statement, yet bound by a shared narrative arc that closes with the introspective sweep of the title track.
POWERCROSS were formed in December 2022 in Athens. Guitarist Spiros Rizos writes all of the band’s compositions and arrangements. The album follows The Lost Empire (2024) and Renaissance (2025), both released by Elevate Records. The current line-up features Veandok (vocals), Spiros Rizos (guitars), Panos Boutidis (bass) and Foivos Andriopoulos (drums).
