Cryptic Void – Into The Desert Temple (Regurgitated Semen Records)
Cryptic Void is one of those bands, who like to make concept albums.
This slab is a continuation of a long story, they began in 2015,on the EP
“Psychomanteum”... Just reading the title, says almost everything, which needs
to be said, about this massive album. The story is not only written in the
music, but spreads its tentacles into the artwork also. Our hero from the first
release, finally walks through the ancient, and mystical gates, to finally face
his demise. The old demons gives him a warm welcome, haha! This is a fantastic
piece of art, and I love how all the puzzles comes together, and youre finally
able to see the whole picture, and understand every hidden moment. I do however
have a strong gut feeling, this story isnt quite finished yet… I guess time
will tell if im right....
"Into The Desert Temple", is the first full length album from
Cryptic Void. The guys have put a lot of time, energy, blood, sweat and tears
into this baby. And all their hard efforts pays off big time here. Because this
massive piece of work will make your putrid blood boil! Very competent blend of
Death Metal, and Grindcore makes this band very saturated and spicy. The first
two tracks are what we've come to expect from this squad. It's a dark story in
two parts (btw, you might have heard them on the Wasteland promo ep). I wouldnt
say these tracks stands out from the rest of the album. That would not be
correct. It sounds more like one monumental piece.Every track on here, is
lethally charged with a huge dose of speed, energy and ferocity. These Texan
sickos have managed to create a real blasting BEAST… Also, I CANT say, this is
the"usual" mix of genres. The guys did everything very nicely, clearly
and technically… Though honestly, sometimes it sounds too good, haha!
PS: This release should come with a warning attached to it.. Cos the
noise on this thing, could make the listener wanna crack a skull, or two with a
gdamn crowbar,hahaha!!!

Cryptic Void - Psychomanteum (Imminent Destruction Records)
I was very glad that Imminent Destruction sent me this vinyl of guys
from Texas for review. This is a vinyl reissue of their debut work,
which was first released in the form of a cassette. Even though it's
debut but the quality of this work is simply amazing. Average listener
will think "so what's wrong with that?". And the feature is that members
of Cryptic Void passed through fire and water in such bands as: Nibiru,
Insect Warfare, P.L.F., War Master!
Psychomanteum can be compared with a small nuclear bomb. It is a very dangerous thing, I must tell you. The energy of these songs, just like radiation, penetrates to the bones! Damn, the rage of this "music" really makes my ears feel good, haha! Frank's blastbeats are as intense as Soviets dropping bombs on Berlin at the end of WWII! And singer's "output" reminds the roar of a hungry bear who saw the bunch of tourists :) Juicy sound of string instruments completes all this mess ... what else to say ... Keep it up guys!
By the way, the cover artwork would be quite suitable for all kinds of releases of occult rock collectives, but the one who buys this thing shouldn't consider that it was recorded under the light of 100 candles, hahaha
