Nowa EP-ke THE KRYPTIK za miesiąc

 

Today, Purity Through Fire sets October 30th as the international release date for a new mini-album from The Kryptik, Behold Fortress Inferno, on jewelcase CD, 12" vinyl, and cassette tape formats.

It was but the autumn of 2019 when The Kryptik released their acclaimed second album, When the Shadows Rise, for new label home Purity Through Fire. Here was a startlingly immersive gem of symphonic black metal, and many finally took notice. Indeed, "symphonic black metal" may be a dirty word to some still, but back in simpler, more idealistic times, that appellation bore delicious fruit, and many long-cherished classics of the black metal canon have upheld that banner; more specifically, once upon a time, it was simply BLACK METAL. The Kryptik bore witness to this fact, and since their formation in 2013, the Brazilian duo have dependably practiced their mystical arts with no outside influence from the nowadays "black metal" scene; only the most ancient flame burns within their hearts. And while their 2017 debut album, Through Infinity of Darkness, saw them boldly strike with a decades-past sound that remained remarkably fresh, it was When the Shadows Rise that scaled the grandest citadel of sound - and, it must be said, set a new standard for neo-ancient symphonic black metal.
