Metallurgical Fire Any new Crypticus record is a must buy for me, and it should be for OSDM or grind fans. You can’t beat the riffs, vocals, and engaging horror atmospheres of this band. Crypticus is always fun and headbangable. Favorite track: Inhabitants of the Dusk.

JERBART The riffs, man! Crypticus just has the meanest riffs and pummels them into your head. A Horrific barrage to your ears and I can't get enough. OSDM the way it was meant to be played. Favorite track: DarkLairStead.
Ammad Bakari

Ammad Bakari insufferably heavy!! creative death metal for those obsessed with darkness and riffage! Favorite track: The Weird Sisters.

Victorian seance in the manse in a candle-lit haze Ectoplasm escapes her mouth excreted as gauze Cheap regurgitated vile cheesecloth secreted Frauds are faking Magnotheric slime - Expose them! Repulsive Phlegmanifestation Exposure is imminent. False parlour games. Hiding gauze in your rectum - Haunted night soil Paranormal ectoplasmic frauds - Expose them! Using photos cut from magazines - Mediumshit False occult misrepresentation Repulsive Phlegmanifestation Negatively hypercharging Repulsive Phlegmanifestation

Nightmarescapes of the fall, eternal dusk Gloom fell upon the world, drowning in vast night Living shapes awaiting, awake within the dark Amid the emptiness, the Last Redoubt of Man Darklairstead - My old ancestral home In vast arcology tall doors engraved in bronze Darklairstead - To leave here means your death Dark silence stretching marble acres Moldering among the dead We, the last of the lost sworn to dusk Cursed to live in silence, dwindling into dust Grasping out from the gates of the Silent House In the name of Mirdath I brave the endless night Darklairstead - My home away from home In vast arcology tall doors engraved in stone Darklairstead - To leave here means your death Dark silence stretching marble acres Sworn to live among the dimness DarkLairStead DarkLairStead DarkLairStead

In hungry moonlight a madness there was spawned upon the dark side of its face Death spawned in the regolith lurks on the moon With ancient hunger the shadow launched itself to Earth by climbing down the light Death spawned in the regolith conquers the Earth Watch how it devours the fauna with ease Death spawned in the regolith conquers the night
4.
Lo! I call upon her name And from those gray remains She smiles at the sound Berenice - Disease upon her name Still could not dim her flame The fire of her smile I need the teeth of Berenice They lustre now beneath the frozen graveyard soil Berenice has been interred Berenice is disinterred
5.
Double, double toil and trouble Fire burn and caldron bubble Fillet of a fenny snake In the caldron boil and bake Eye of newt and toe of frog Wool of bat and tongue of dog Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting Lizard's leg and howlet's wing
6.
That Which Hath Watched From the Start Within the Vales of Fire I turned from its gaze and feigned to the inconceivable mystery Outer darkness of black hills Where shone the Seven Lights Which faltered never through the night The monstrousness of the Night Land Emanates from the House of Silence There, near where walk the silent In The Country Whence Comes the Laughter Little had been written and less has been seen Of the Monsters and Ab-human creatures who watch the pyramid Wondrously foul creatures, lawless degeneracy The Watchers siege the Last Redoubt in forgotten centuries
