The Shadowglass: The Fractured Mirror of Reality
The Shadowglass is no ordinary reflection. It's a network of interdimensional mirrors, scattered across the known—and unknown—realms. These mirrors offer glimpses into other realities, but only those who understand their power can navigate the chaos within. The Echo Keepers, a secretive order tasked with guarding the Shadowglass, wield its power to control the flow of time, space, and fate itself.
Our music? It resonates with the frequencies of the Shadowglass, each song a shattered reflection of our existence, a broken mirror that invites the listener to peer into the unknown.

The Echo Keepers: Guardians of the Breach
The Echo Keepers are the silent stewards of the universe’s borders, maintaining the Breach—the fragile line between this world and the cosmic void. They protect the Shadowglass from falling into the wrong hands, for whoever controls the mirrors controls the very fabric of reality.
Hank Van Vice, though, doesn’t play by anyone’s rules. His connection to the Shadowglass and the voices it channels has made him a figure of both reverence and fear. Some believe he was chosen by the Echo Keepers, while others claim he's a rogue element, threatening to unravel everything.

The Breach: The Edge of Everything
The Breach is the rift where realities collide—a place where timelines merge and the laws of physics bend. It’s through the Breach that Hank first glimpsed the true nature of his powers. The final performance in Las Vegas, the Quantum Refrain, was the moment when the Breach was most fragile, and Hank’s music tore through the fabric of the universe, sending shockwaves across timelines.
That night, as time itself fractured, Hank stood at the edge of the Breach, making a choice that would echo through every corner of existence. Was he saving the world—or condemning it?

Hank Van Vice – The Voice of a Hundred Echoes
Hank is the heart of Queen Elizabeth’s Abortions. Known as the man with a hundred voices, he channels a multitude of sounds, personalities, and energies. Whether it’s the distorted croon of a lost soul or the howl of a distant star, Hank’s gift—some say curse—is his ability to mimic and manipulate voices across realities. He is the bridge between worlds, an unwitting agent of chaos and change.
Notable Quote: “I don’t know where I end and the music begins. I just know it’s all connected.”
-
Blade – The Thundering Pulse
Blade is the backbone of the band. His drums don’t just keep the beat—they shake the very foundations of reality. Legend has it that Blade’s rhythm is so precise, it can alter the flow of time, bending moments into eternity with a single hit. As stoic as he is enigmatic, Blade’s silence speaks volumes in the band’s darkest moments.
Notable Quote: “I hit the drums; the rest is just noise.”
-
Maverick – The Bassline Conductor
Maverick doesn’t just play bass—he bends it. His deep, resonant tones are said to echo through the very fabric of existence. Some believe Maverick’s basslines are what keep the Shadowglass from collapsing entirely. While quiet and introspective, his movements speak louder than words—each note reverberates in places no one dares to go.
Notable Quote: “It’s all about the low end. If you don’t feel it in your bones, you’re not hearing it right.”
-
Moonchild – The Keymaster
Moonchild is the keeper of the keys—literally and figuratively. Their otherworldly soundscapes create the backdrop to Hank’s chaotic vocals, guiding the listener through shifting realities. They’re the alchemist, blending electronic and organic sound into a symphony of chaos and beauty. Their keys unlock doors to places where reality unravels.
Notable Quote: “Every note is a key. You just have to figure out which door to open.”
-
Tempest – The Electric Voyager
Tempest’s guitar doesn’t play; it rips through the air, cutting through the noise of the universe. His riffs aren’t just sounds—they’re prophecies, signaling the arrival of storms and changes yet to come. Whether it's a screaming solo or a subtle atmospheric riff, Tempest’s guitar pulls listeners through the eye of the storm.
Notable Quote: “You can’t tame the storm. You can only ride it.”
