Ukrainian dark metal band Krypta has unveiled another single, "Shum", from its upcoming self-titled debut album, set for release on 25 October.
Krypta, a band from Kyiv, Ukraine, was formed in 2014 around the musical ideas of Dmytro Omelechko, the lead guitarist. The main idea was to focus on melody and the music rather than adherence to a particular genre. Each new band member introduced elements of different genres into the composition, from jazz to funeral doom and brutal death.
2018's two-track demo Omerta/Imya introduced the band to the world. Initial reviews of the demo and local live performances praised the quality of the material and its genre eclecticism.
Krypta's music combines the concepts of classic doom and symphonic metal of the 90s with modern trends. Heavy rhythms organically coexist with soulful vocal parts, growls, and violin. Link
