Cryptae—Nightmare-Traversal

Cryptae Spins A "Concrete Inferno" (Track Premiere)


I’ve been having a lot of nightmares since my grandpa passed away a few weeks ago. Too much information for a lowly track premiere, I am certain, but hear me out. Much like many of you, I suffer from sleep paralysis. It’s been awful and I have been left exhausted both mentally and physically. Dutch experimental death metal duo Cryptae sounds like what I’ve experienced and how I feel. Both crisp and sharp, Cryptae’s anti-cavernous death metal is horrifying. Like a glass hammer pummeling flesh, Cryptae’s take on death metal is brutal, but also fragile, like it is ready to break apart at any moment. Such is the duality which defines Cryptae’s hallucinatory madness. Listen to an exclusive stream of “Concrete Inferno” below.

Nightmare Traversal releases October 2nd on Sentient Ruin.
