NEWS: Cryptic Shift: Frozen in space and time!

…with an album release show at the Boston Music Rooms in London England at end of February and an appearance at Maryland Deathfest booked for this summer things are looking bright for Cryptic Shift. Ahead of their new album “Overspace & Supertime” which 27th February and Metal Blade Records on its toe tag, the Progressive Death Metallers have allowed single “Cryogenically Frozen” to leak out…

Vocalist and guitarist Alexander Bradley comments: “Contrasting the prolonged, cinematic opening of our previous album [Visitations From Enceladus] ‘Cryogenically Frozen’ wastes no time by bursting into a flurry of jazz fusion-esque movements as if metal had an alternate timeline progressing from the lineage of masters like Cynic, Pestilence, and Allan Holdsworth, whilst still remaining true to our death/thrashing tendencies with lightning riffs tailor-made for the headbangers and circle pitters! Simultaneously, all aspects of our songwriting propel our new character, ‘The Recaller,’ through her sci-fi adventures, beginning with a cybertronic shootout and meditations in dreams and consciousness. Being one of the shorter songs on the album defined by a pulsing verse and chorus, it ends with a moment of calm before the true centerpiece of Overspace & Supertime begins with the 29-minute ‘Stratocumulus Evergaol’ which we can’t wait for all Astrodeath freaks to explore on the February 27th.”
