Don't try to pry the locks into his secret lair Unholy secrecies are kept alive in there His name means darkness now to all the ones who know Mortificus wants you to join him in his show The first illusion is now at hand You are blindfolded with your hands tied-up in back He shows his tools, to the captive crowd You hear them laughing, still not knowing what's to come Then there comes pain as he chains you to the rack You're going into shock, there's no turning back He licks his lips & laughs, you know you won't be saved Your journey now begins, guts first into the grave His holocaust of horror is the devil's web You know now how it's done - the trick is that you're dead

Twilight Starts the Madness Shadows at the door A Filth in My Bones The Secrecies of Horror... Evil lurks in silence Asleep within a core Black nova of the dawning Brings all that we abhor Mystic scrolls, secret tombs, Drowning crypts, supernatural Madness, Misted gates, haunted woods, With a thousand eyes you fail to see...
5.
The secret woods alive at night Unholy meeting of masterminds With deadly secrets they gain control Behind the darkness you feel their eyes Ten thousand years of suicide The scarecrow king that haunts the night Black liquid seeps from living trees Sometimes at night you hear their cries The pulsing cyclops throne With sightless eyes you sense your death The field alive with evil stars A cold descent into the lake Demon void behind the night The shadows fight to lick you eyes When repulsion calls your name Try to run away from your own game

Line-up toward the Butcher's Den Where the mutants hatch eggs & breed blood red Tower of experiments The vents exhale necrotic fumes & scents Cadaver Borgs Ascend the Spires Black Seraphim are Raining Bile The Crypt Exhales its Putrid Ghosts The Faithful Drones will Feed their Ancient Hosts...

Welcome all we've gathered here tonight Let us now peel-back the layers The ancient gods are here amongst us in the dark Hungering for evil prayers Here in the sacred shrine of blasphemy we meet To probe the ancient depths of horror & decay Enter the magister, the one we all revere He is the mastermind behind all that you fear Once he had been a man with hopes & dreams like you Now he's a nameless beast with glowing eyes of dread & in his hands he holds a severed human head He still stalks the night in never-ending death Now I ride with the mocking & friendly ghouls on the night winds & play by day in the catacombs. I know that light is not for me, save that of the moon The servitors of shame, the formless fiends of dusk Crustaceous-bodied beasts are floating on black dust Deep underneath the ground where sunlight never goes We make an evil pact with Those That Lurk Below The cries of those who died, the echoes in the night They whisper to me still & torture me with fright When will I find revenge & who will be my Guide? I Face my destiny with evil by my side The Echoes of the Macabre

about

"Sounds like a forgotten gem from the past rather than a lacklustre retro parade. The low tuning, neatly integrated guttural vocals and occasional blasting drums do not destroy this impression but add to its perceived rarity value. A bit of Carnage, some prickly chords, blackened death tremolo picking and phased guitar over nasal clanging bass leading into death 'n roll of the timeless kind.I can see this ancient beast lumbering its way into quite a few listeners' affections."
- DIABOLICAL CONQUEST

"Ever play a videogame called Serious Sam? If you have, you may have an idea of what Crypticus is like: A massive ball of grinding death metal fury the size of a planet armed with an armada of nuclear weaponry. Crypticus is definitely a band to look out for in the future. Let’s pray to Cthulhu to find a way to get the band to tour."
- TEUFEL's TOMB

"An exercise in chunky, churning death riffage... Culls equally from the early Stockholm greats and their contemporaneous American counterparts, particularly evoking the mighty Autopsy."
