NYCTOPHILIA runs riot across myriad classicist-minded black metal tropes

hypnotic Burzumic trance, rotten Darkthroned rocking, grim Immortalized fury, atmospheric.

Cryptopsy continues to be a leader when it comes to extreme Death Metal and this new EP is their latest delivery to completely wreck everything in their way!

As a follow up to their 2015 EP, "The Book of Suffering - Tome I", Cryptopsy will be releasing the next instalment, Tome II, in the fall of 2018. "The Book of Suffering - Tome II" was produced, mixed and mastered by, Cryptopsy’s guitarist, Chris Donaldson at The Grid studio in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Cryptopsy states, "The Book of Suffering - Tome II" is some of the most intense, gnarly, brutal yet organic material we have written to date.”

What we have here is what I would call a mixture of "Whisper Supremacy" with "And Then You’ll Beg", and that’s a very fine place to be for Cryptopsy. Back are the frenzied, seemingly out of control guitars, manic drumming, excellent bass playing and dare I say it... really good vocals. 

Drawn Into Descent craft five songs for over fortyfive minutes of play and swing naturally from evil blast-beats and desperate shrieks (“Dystopia”) to more post-, almost gothic rock influences (“Death…”). Now resembling Judas Iscariot, now flirting with Klimt 1918, the final result is that The Endless Endeavour is carved in a unique and personal sound. Dealing with the bleak, joyless emotions of life, Drawn Into Descent sophomore album will be a perfect companion during the last winter days, when cold has not let go yet, but days start to grow longer again. An apparently conflicting duality, just like the mellow guitars of blackgaze opposed to the rage of atmospheric black metal.

Reprint in CD of the first two EPs for this one-man Polish band.
