Vertex Veritas Official Merchandise

Nicolae (Nic) Petulengro is the creator and songwriter behind Vertex Veritas (The Point of Truth), a dark cinematic music project exploring survival, memory, identity, resilience, and the search for meaning in the aftermath of trauma. Drawing from lived experience with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Nicolae transforms deeply personal experiences into songs that explore loss, protection, memory, healing, and self-discovery. Rather than focusing on diagnosis alone, Vertex Veritas explores the human experiences behind them: the memories we carry, the parts of ourselves we lose, the pieces we try to put back together, and the truths we uncover along the way. Blending gothic rock, dark folk, cinematic soundscapes, and narrative-driven songwriting, Vertex Veritas exists somewhere between journal entries and modern mythology. Songs such as 30 Demons Strong, The Disappearing Boy, She's Dead, But She Ain't Gone, Pieces, and The Journal form chapters in a larger story of survival and reconstruction. For Nicolae, music is more than entertainment. It is a way to document a journey, preserve a record of lived experience, and give voice to stories that are often difficult to explain but impossible to ignore. Through music, artwork, videos, journals, and storytelling, Vertex Veritas seeks not only to tell those stories but to create a place where others can recognize pieces of their own. Every voice has a story. Every voice has a truth.
