CRYPTOSIS – Sign To Century Media Records & Release Single and video to “Decypher”
Century Media Records welcomes Dutch futuristic multi-metal eruption CRYPTOSIS!
A million miles from the old school fury of their previous incarnation, CRYPTOSIS have a sound that defies expectations and limitations with equal intensity. A dizzying blend of visceral extremity, symphonic pomp and wild, progressive invention.
Elements of blackened death, progressive thrash and grandiose symphonic metal are all present and correct, but Cryptosis have combined them in an exhilarating, unprecedented new form that promises to satisfy on both primal and cerebral levels.
Philipp Schulte, Director Century Media Records Europe comments:
“Getting completely surprised by a new band doesn’t happen very often, but CRYPTOSIS really impressed me. What this young band manages to deliver is nothing but a mind-blowing hell ride through the realm of extreme metal. What CRYPTOSIS do is not only for fans of Vektor, Coroner, Sadus or Demolition Hammer, but generally for everyone who is into death and thrash metal played at high speed on the highest level of aggression and technicality. The usual label hyperbole? If you think so, then check out the song. Welcome to Century Media, guys. We couldn’t be happier to have you with us!”
Today Cryptosis release the single “Decypher”. Check out the video HERE
The band comments:
“In light of recent events we are beyond happy that we are teaming up with Century Media Records to release and promote our debut album. It feels really good to work with such a professional team that understands our artistic vision and gives us a lot of freedom and resources to take everything we do to the next level.”

Cryptosis signs with District-19
The futuristic multi-metal eruption of CRYPTOSIS, formerly known throughout the European metal underground as old school thrash mob Distillator, has signed with District 19 for European bookings & management!
Laurens Houvast [vocals/guitar], Frank te Riet [bass/mellotron/backing vocals] and Marco Prij [drums] have undergone a wholesale transformation and upgrade, resulting in a brand new band with a sound that is guaranteed to blow minds and wreck necks.
“When we started Distillator we were kids,” says Laurens. “We were still students and had a totally different vision of music. But wherever we went on the road, we learned more and more from each other, and we learned about each other’s preferences in music. “We love the music we used to play and we really wanted to play music that sounded like that at the time, but then you start to develop as an artist. We want to make music that is our sound, and not somebody else’s.”
“We took the name Cryptosis because it’s two words put together – on one side it’s ‘crypto’, like technology, crypto-currency and the digital world,” Laurens explains. “On the other side it’s ‘osis’ which comes from hypnosis, so the combination means the hypnosis of technology. People can’t live without technology and they’re hooked, and it will only get worse in the future, with technology being in total control. You’re hypnotised by the technology around you, and that’s Cryptosis.”
Reborn as forward-thinking explorers of the extreme metal cosmos, Cryptosis is what happens when metal is allowed to evolve, to expand and to breathe.
DRACONIAN: NEW ALBUM AND TOUR WITH NIGHTFALL
Swedish doom/goth sextet DRACONIAN and the melodic blackened death metal stalwarts of NIGHTFALL are teaming up for a European tour in March 2021!

CARNATION: new album announced
After releasing their glorious “Chapel of Abhorrence” debut album in 2018, CARNATION has been on a relentless warpath, conquering festivals and venues across the globe. The Belgian death metal quintet is now ready to unveil the successor to their debut release, which is aptly titled “Where Death Lies”. The album is set to be released on September 18th, 2020 on Season of Mist.
CARNATION comments:
“After two incredible years in service of the “Chapel of Abhorrence”, the time has come to venture forth into a new domain. Tirelessly, we have been building our new aural soundscape for months, and we are now ready to present what the future will hold. Prepare to witness an improved Carnation in every way possible; “Where Death Lies” awaits.”
The album was recorded at the Hertz Studio in Białystok, Poland (Drums) and at the Project Zero Studio in Nijlen, Belgium (Guitars, Bass and Vocals). Mixing was done by our very own Yarne Heylen and the mastering process was handled by Jens Bogren at the Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden. The album cover was once again made by the magnificent Juanjo Castellano.
The album will be available in several formats; such as Jewelcase CD, Standard Black LP, multiple Limited Edition Coloured LPs and as a very Limited Edition Cassette.
“Where Death Lies” features 40 minutes of unrelenting death metal. We will present the first single of the album on July 8th, 2020.
