A trilogy of singles that seeks inspiration from the social theory of doomed cycles.
"Doomed Cycles" refer to repetitive and inevitable patterns of destruction and reconstruction that
lead to an inevitable end, always associated with decay and collapse. In the distant future, they
who are aware of this theory may no longer want progress or evolution as a being.
The concept of endless cycles of destruction and reconstruction serves as inspiration for this trilogy, a work that delves into the complexity of the human and social condition and the inevitability of repetitive patterns that lead to collapse. This trilogy, composed of three powerful songs, is a reflection of the struggle against internal and external forces, which result in journeys of fury, revolt, meaning of life and the search for stability.
Each single will be released bimonthly, providing increasing interest until the final release. This releases are divided into two phases. initially released through the band's official website https://CultOfAlcaeus.com and simultaneously at BandCamp, SoundCloud, Air Play and Written Words through press partners (radio shows, webzines, magazines). And after a month of this "exclusivity", they are released on streaming services.

The first track, "Forged By Rage", sets the tone for the trilogy with its raw, visceral intensity. The song portrays the birth of a cycle, forged by anger and fueled by injustice.

Closing the trilogy, "The Odyssey Of The Soul" offers a deep reflection on a mental, philosophical journey and a way to escape into another reality. More introspective, this track explores the emotional and spiritual costs of living within condemned patterns and the need for escape out of reality. With ethereal melodies and a dark atmosphere, the song suggests that, despite all efforts and the end of the cycle is inevitable, the possibility of rebirth is always possible.
"Doomed Cycles" is more than a trilogy, it is a musical exploration, where each track represents a crucial phase in this inevitable process of destruction and reconstruction. Each song contributes to a larger narrative that challenges the listener to reflect on their own patterns of behavior and the larger forces that shape our lives.
