Kryptos
2018 finds Kryptos as the first band from India to grace these pages,
yet this is not a metal upstart, as the band dates back to 1998
and their 2016 album reviewed here,
Burn Up The Night, is their fourth.
Here the guys are channelling classic 80's Priest/Maiden influences
(particularly the latter), though the gruff, snarled vocals
(reminding these ears of the late great
Coroner) are a differentiator, they serve to give a band a slightly
darker edge.
Overall, these guys don't bite off more than they can chew, they stick
to what they know, with few if any nods to modern metal, yet they
are adept enough to not sound like a tired 80's rehash.
Nice to see a traditionally un-metallic part of the world making a solid
metal contribution.
Recent album: Decimator,
released on July 5, 2024.
