Sweden’s CRYPTORIUM premiere new track at NoCleanSinging.com

Today, Swedish death metallers Cryptorium premiere the new track “Horrid Exultation” at heavily trafficked web-portal NoCleanSinging.com. The track is the second to be revealed from the band’s highly anticipated debut album, Descent Into Lunacy, set for international release on November 29th via Personal Records on CD format; Iron Fortress Records will be handling the cassette tape version. Hear Cryptorium‘s “Horrid Exultation” in its entirety exclusively HERE.

Hailing from Karlstad, Sweden’s Cryptorium started in November of 2022 by Fabian Larsen, Knalle Arvidsson, and a drummer who was fired within the first five months of the band. Due to lack of drummer, Fabian and Knalle continued writing material as a duo, which would later take shape as the Cryptic Bloodlust demo, which was released in July 2023. The demo was released digitally and as an independent cassette tape limited to 20, which sold out on preorder before the release date. The band later made 30 more independent cassettes, which all sold out within a month. Cryptic Bloodlust was also issued on cassette by Iron Fortress Records and on CD through Nihil Productions.

A week after the release, the demo was heard by Albin Holgersson, who would join Cryptorium and save them from disbanding completely. Now, as a trio, stronger than ever, Cryptorium started to write music for what was going to become their debut full-length, Descent Into Lunacy. The recording process was done parallelly with the band playing shows from December 2023 to April 2024 – and now, it’s ready to be unleashed. 

Faster, louder, and ruder than ever, Cryptorium have risen from the ashes of the glory days of Swedish death metal during the late ’80s and early ’90s. Taking inspiration from such bands as Dismember, Entombed, Nirvana 2002, Dissection, and Gorement, Cryptorium‘s Descent Into Lunacy is aptly titled: madness, mania, METAL, all evil as fuck and gutted beyond belief. Unholy and uneasy, this eight-song / 30-minute slab doesn’t want to reinvent the wheel so much as rot it from within; no more but definitely no less, this is relentless, gloomy, and merciless HM-2-driven DEATH METAL made for the depraved to consume. Dare you Descent Into Lunacy? NOT FOR WIMPS AND POSERS!
