Cryptal Darkness

<

Cryptal Darkness. an epic journey through sadness and sorrow, an age-old spirit with a modern and diverse sound. Cryptal Darkness weave a traffic melody of mourning and regret.



Formed in the winter of '93 the band dabbled with various sounds and ideas, but by late '95 the sound was starting to shape up; melodic, dark and emotional, it was not long after this that the band entered the studio to record their debut album 'endless tears'. This album laid the path for the classic 1999 album 'they whispered you had risen', which took their mournful sound to the extreme with songs like to 'blackened skies I suffer' and the gothic nightmare of title track 'they whispered.'.



Late 2000 saw the band's last release 'chapter II the fallen', seen as part two of 'they whispered.' the band took their sound even further with the sorrowful 'my eternal hunger' and the epic 'a vision of beauty and desire lost'.



In late 2002 after growing tensions in the band and due to issues with label ICON records, the band in its then current form decided a fresh start was in order. Guitar duo Mark Kelson & Chris Burton saw this as their opportunity to start 'the eternal', although Chris left 'the eternal' after the first album 'the sombre light of isolation'.
