“Over this EP’s four track Ecryptus created death metal about lightsaber death, dying in a sarlacc pit, and more.” – Metal Injection
“it’s such an adrenaline-fueled shock-and-awe campaign, one that’s technically eye-popping, eerie and evil, and terrifically obliterating.” – No Clean Singing
“Crushing display of death metal, Ecryptus delivers…” – The Razor’s Edge
“the performances here are razor sharp and these tracks have proven to be fun and crushing in equal capacity. 8/10 ” – Metal Trenches
“The universe of Ecryptus is as thick as a bantha and as sharp as a lightsaber. With Kyr’am Beskar, the group shows us that it is always present and ready to take up arms to keep its place in the scene. 8/10” – Acta Infernalis
“Planetary Enslavement is possibly my favourite song on this release. It shows a degree of technicality and proficiency that is a little too uncommon. It’s exceptionally precise in its musicianship and understands that just because you go fast doesn’t make you good. This however is both fast and excellent. 8/10” – Rock Out Stand Out
“Ecryptus brings us gurglegrind riff salad ” DeathMetal.org
“Kyr’am Beskar is a more than good EP for fans of complex music. I really don’t know why they are not in a big label with good distribution to the deathbangers. And after all of that I’ve just realized there is a baby yoda burning in cover art. What the actual fuck? 10/10” Dark Souls United
“Live, the group takes the stage sporting sith-corpse paint, robes, armor, Dragoncon-acquired lightsabers, and their friend Scara Slayfield wearing her best “Hutt Slayer” Princess Leia outfit, serving drinks to the stage, and adorning the monitors.” – Rad ATL
““Rancorous” opens with a mighty roar before a spiraling assault of blast beats and demonic incantations rise over searing guitar leads that burn with the heat of Vader’s red lightsaber.” – Rad ATL
Ecryptus are an elite group of assassins from Korriban, now based in Atlanta, Georgia. We dispense galactic death metal inspired by the Dark Side and brutal tales of the Canon Arcane.
=====================================================
The EP as a whole:
Kyr’am Beskar features 4 grinding tracks of crushing death metal inspired by the Dark Side! Each song is a gruesome tome from the Canon Arcane, serving shredding riffs, ripping thrash solos, epic overtures, and inhuman drums!
Track by Track Explained:
1. Cauterized Saber Wound Massacre – Grinding out the macabre scene of an entire field of bodies, cleaved effortlessly by a maniac wielding a laser sword.
2. Planetary Enslavement – The morose tale of an entire species being forced into slavery under the rule of an invading empire. The track chugs into a furious battle, a bitter and tragic loss of life.
3. Compulsion to Disintegrate – A lightning-fast barn burner, rife with gravity blasts and all the shred! Follow a Mandalorian bounty hunter on a ride through the galaxy to collect undead trophies!
4. Digested Over a Thousand Years – This track invokes the doom, dread, and insanity of being slowly digested, regenerated, and digested again over the course of a millennium. The song begins a doom-laden funeral overture, then blasts into a movement of insanity before slowly fading into oppressive doom.
======================================
BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:
