To continue pushing the album release and the start of Cryptosis’ touring campaign next week, check out a new promotional video clip, once again produced by the film production company F/53 (https://f-53.com/), based on live-footage from the “Celestial Death” album-release-show at Enschede’s Metropool venue for the album song “In Between Realities”.

We’re proud to present the live video for ‘In Between Realities’, captured during the Cryptosis album release show at Metropool, Enschede (The Netherlands) on March 29, 2025. The song explores the story of a person caught between two worlds: the physical reality we all know, and a highly immersive, almost perfect virtual reality. In this VR world, life feels ideal, exciting, beautiful, and full of purpose, while the real body is slowly being neglected and forgotten. It’s a reflection on modern escapism, technology, and the thin line between living and existing. Experience the energy of the live show and the depth of the concept. Let us know in the comments: Where do you draw the line between reality and illusion?”

“Celestial Death” was recorded by Olaf Skoreng at Tom Meier and Studio Moon Music between April and August 2024, mixed by Fredrik Folkare at Chrome Studios (Unleashed, Necrophobic, Hellbutcher) in Sweden and finally mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Studios (Arch Enemy, Borknagar, Amorphis) in Sweden too. The album is the follow-up to Cryptosis’ acclaimed “Bionic Swarm” debut album (2021) and the EP “The Silent Call” (2023), it once more comes with artwork by Eliran Kantor (Kreator, Testament, My Dying Bride) and also showcases the group on a darker, heavier, more melodic and extremely cinematic journey across its 11 tracks / 42 minutes of playing time.

Here is some selected media feedback on “Celestial Death”:

“Cryptosis wrap their dystopian visions in ‘future metal’: a mixture of progressive, thrash, black, death and epic styles. On paper, this already promises science fiction film music with an extra portion of steel – and it sounds like it.” – Metal Hammer Magazine (Germany) – 5/7 points review & position #3 in Soundcheck.

“’Celestial Death’ sounds incredibly exciting and diverse with a crazy mixture of black metal, prog and thrash’n’roll.” – Rock Hard Magazine (Germany) – 8/10 points review.

“Cryptosis set new standards with their second album ‘Celestial Death’, taking their sound to a whole new level. Definitely worth a listen!” – Legacy Magazine (Germany) – 13/15 points review.

Starting next week, Cryptosis will be part of a European tour together with British Thrashers Onslaught, who are celebrating the 40 th Anniversary of their classic “Power From Hell” album. Check those dates and a few newly confirmed upcoming Cryptosis shows here:
