CRYPTOSIS comment on the upcoming album “Celestial Death”:
“We’re excited to announce our new album! A sonic journey that pushes all boundaries of everything we created before. This album represents our evolution – an exploration of darkness that’s both vast and cinematic. “Celestial Death” pulls you into a haunting atmosphere with relentless heaviness. Each track digs deeper into the enigma of existence, decay and fragile hope. “Celestial Death” is our darkest vision yet – a soundtrack to the chaotic world we live in. It’s heavier, bolder, and still very much CRYPTOSIS“
The Dutch band presents their new album with the single “Faceless Matter,” released on Friday, December 13, 2024. CRYPTOSIS says about the first single from the upcoming album “Celestial Death”:
“With “Faceless Matter”, we’re opening the new album “Celestial Death”. The song dives into a future where individuality fades, and people become part of one collective mind, haunted by the loss of self. This track brings a darker, heavier, and more symphonic sound. Welcome to the new era of CRYPTOSIS.”
