Brazilian death metal band Crypta has revealed “Trial of Traitors,” the second single and video from its upcoming sophomore album, “Shades of Sorrow” (Aug. 4, 2023, Napalm Records; pre-order here).
“”We decided to have ‘Trial of Traitors’ as one of the singles because, although it’s the fastest, most aggressive song on album, it still has a lot of our already characteristic melodic work here and there,” the band said, “so we thought this blend of these two extremes would be a good sneak-peak into what people can expect overall from the album!”
Formed in 2019 by former Nervosa members Dametto and Fernanda Lira (vocals), and now featuring guitarists Tainá Bergamaschi and Jessica di Falchi, Crypta released its debut, “Echoes of the Soul,” in 2021.
“Shades of Sorrow is a semi-concept album which describes a journey through the depths of our psyche when facing tough battles,” Lira said. “It’s a trip to the many shades of pain we sometimes have to face while enduring our lives’ challenges. The songs are the perfect gloomy, dark, emotional soundtrack for this journey.”
