"Salt," or, "Cryptae Destroys Death Metal, Again" (Early Song Debut)
The last time we heard from Dutch death metal weirdos Cryptae, they were busy figuring out how to disintegrate death metal into noise dust via pure genre dismantling. Now, on new album Capsule, we find this bizarre duo both embracing and completely denying death metal with a uniquely progressive character. On “Salt,” the duo of guitarist Kees Peerdeman and prolific drummer René Aquarius (Dead Neanderthals, Plague Organ et al) embrace their love of ’80s synthesizer music (primarily the Berlin School) in conjunction with their most traditional death metal to date. The result is dizzying, almost too much for me to handle before my morning coffee, but enthralling all the same. Cryptae has done it again–completely turned the tables on death metal and made something weird and new. Listen to “Salt” ahead of Capsule‘s release date below.
