EP REVIEW: The Silent Call by Crpytosis

On December 1st, Dutch metal trio Cryptosis are set to release their new EP The Silent Call (Century Media Records). The upcoming EP also contains previously released “Master of Life” from the 2021 album sessions and live versions of their songs “Prospect of Immortality” and “Transcendence” that were recorded in Athens, Greece in November 2022.

The band says this of their new song, “The Silent Call”

“The Silent Call” is a thought-provoking glimpse into a world where the lines between reality and artificial control blur, leaving individuals feeling lost and insignificant in the midst of sprawling, concrete jungles we call cities. A hauntingly introspective track that casts a shadow over our human existence. It’s a sonic journey that invites you to contemplate the complexities of modern life and the eerie silence of the unseen forces shaping our world.”

Cryptosis has once again challenged the definition of what is metal and with the face melting guitars, heart crushing bass and drums, and vocals that electrify the senses, The Silent Call is not for those who are seeking quietude but is for those who seek a whirlwind of visceral sound.
