Following their acclaimed “Bionic Swarm” debut album (2021) and the EP “The Silent Call” (2023), Dutch futuristic metallers Cryptosis return with a mighty, awe-inspiring sophomore album entitled “Celestial Death”, set for worldwide release on March 7th, 2025 via Century Media Records.
As first example of the intense material available on “Celestial Death” a first single entitled “Faceless Matter” has been made available today across digital platforms.
Cryptosis comment as follows about the track: “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.”
Cryptosis checked in with the following comment about “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. We can‘t wait for you to experience it, and join us in this new chapter. Prepare to ascend. The “Celestial Death” awaits!”.
