Toronto Djent Doom Cryptonight Premiere Lyric Video ‘Abstersion’ via NoCleanSinging

Debut Album “The Black Ritual” Out Now!

 

Toronto “djoom” duo Cryptonight are sharing with fans their latest lyric video for their track ‘Abstersion’ in support of their debut album “Black Ritual” released this past April.

Check out the lyric video via its premiere on NoCleanSinging HERE.

Aiming to capture listeners in a very haunting manner, the debut album “The Black Ritual” evokes horror and malice in every riff and melody. All of the music on the full-length was recorded on an eight-string guitar tuned to Eb and is inspired by actual vivid nightmares experienced by members of Cryptonight at various points in their lives. It also includes references from games such as Bloodborne, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy and Diablo. The band shares their thoughts on the release:

“We each picked recurring nightmares that made an impression on us and put them together into a story about a dream world. Fans can expect this album to have a sequel, and to continue into the unforeseen future. Our lyrics are literally us telling stories of what happened in our personal nightmares, as descriptively as possible. It’s a collaboration of everything we love together into one sound to make for a deadly recipe. Dark and nightmarish whilst leaving an ambient and serene linger.”

Cryptonight has been cryptically hinting at this album by making a 20-episode web series on their YouTube channel, which included short instrumental preview clips of the songs on the release. The band hints at checking out those videos for an in-depth background on the music.

Join Cryptonight in a dream-like state full of horrors and feel the chill of these nightmares first hand. With the music and lyrics contributing in tandem to the same frightening experience, it’s a walk through the musical realms of djoom.

Full stream and download of  “The Black Ritual” available at the following links:
YouTube
Spotify
Apple Music

Physical CD copy will be released at a later date and will be a 2-disk set. The second disk will be a director’s cut DVD of Cryptonight Season 1 for fans viewing pleasure. This band creates actual movies… Not just in audial format. Their production and writing quality will only increase as time goes on.

“If you dig the whole djent/thall thing, this is a must listen record. You won’t find many heavier albums in the genre, and when combined with the doom and ambient elements; the resulting atmosphere is pretty goddamn ominous. Give Cryptonight a listen today.” – Metal Trenches

THE BLACK RITUAL HAS BEGUN… Presenting the debut eight track album from Toronto Djoom (djent+doom) metal band Cryptonight. All of the music on the album is an audial horror movie is unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. The full length played on 8-string guitars tuned to Eb is inspired by actual vivid nightmares experienced by members of Cryptonight at various points in their lives. There are also many influences and Easter eggs from video games, such as Bloodborne, Resident Evil, Diablo, and Final Fantasy X. 

Mixing and Mastering were done by Anthony DiGiacomo at Deep Resonance Studio.

Due to the uniqueness of their sound, Cryptonight categorizes themselves into their own sub-genre of metal called Djoom. This is a combination of Djent and Doom.

Cryptonight plans to play their very first show in the smallest city in Ontario… Latchford. They believe that nobody has ever done this before, and it represents their strategy of contrasting social normalities and going against the grain. It will likely be an outdoor show in a Veteran’s park.
