ZEROY CRUCIATUM (VIDEO)
Joris, better known as Zeroy Cruciatum, is a 27-year-old Dutch solo artist who now lives in the heart of the Ruhr area - in Essen.
His passion for music started early with DJ gigs in small underground clubs in Aachen and Limburg (NL), but his own music project was a few years away.
After the tragic loss of a close friend, music proved to be the ideal medium to process pent-up emotions. This eventually led to the release of his first single "December" in December 2023.
Inspired by a wide range of musical genres, the abandoned industrial landscapes of the Ruhr area and events from his life, he produces a mixture of industrial, body music, wave and gothic. He therefore describes his own music as "industrial wave".

With his own radio show and new music reviews, he has established his channel as the ultimate dark wave resource. This versatile artist is not only an experienced musician and dynamic live performer, but also a passionate new wave enthusiast. His infectious enthusiasm for various aspects of the music is clearly evident in his output.
