i really fell in love with krypts bleak yet majestic, chilling yet heavy tunes from "remnants of expansion". so of course, when there was the opportunity to get a colour vinyl re-press of the latest full length "cadaver circulation" together with the aforementioned, i didn't think twice.
i probably like "remnants..." a bit more but "cadaver..." is basically a flawless and fantastic album start to finish. the guys really hit the spot with those two records. can't stop listening to them. the colour-way is not my favourite but looks cool in its own right. dark descent records. 2019/2020.
death doom is a metal subgenre which is fairly new to me. it started with mortiferum and i enjoyed the hell out of their album "disgorged from psychotic depths" and thus was very delighted when i found out about this finnish band called krypts. so of course this is not an up-and-coming new band, i just missed out on them for too long. as usual.
they released "remnants of expansion" already four years ago in 2016 on dark descent records. this lovely grey and black merge vinyl, one can see here, is part of the 2020 re-press and i snagged a copy from the band's e-store. that cover artwork resembles the music perfectly. dark, ominous and otherworldly. dark descent records. 2016/2020.
