Dutch futuristic metallers, Cryptosis, recently released their sophomore album, Celestial Death, via Century Media Records.
To continue pushing the album release and the start of Cryptosis’ touring campaign next week, check out a new promotional video clip, once again produced by the film production company F/53, based on live-footage from the Celestial Death album-release-show at Enschede’s Metropool venue for the album song “In Between Realities” below.
Cryptosis checked in with the following comment about the track: “We’re proud to present the live video for ‘In Between Realities’, captured during the Cryptosis album release show at Metropool, Enschede (The Netherlands) on March 29, 2025. The song explores the story of a person caught between two worlds: the physical reality we all know, and a highly immersive, almost perfect virtual reality. In this VR world, life feels ideal, exciting, beautiful, and full of purpose, while the real body is slowly being neglected and forgotten. It’s a reflection on modern escapism, technology, and the thin line between living and existing. Experience the energy of the live show and the depth of the concept. Let us know in the comments: Where do you draw the line between reality and illusion?”
Celestial Death was recorded by Olaf Skoreng at Tom Meier and Studio Moon Music between April and August 2024, mixed by Fredrik Folkare at Chrome Studios (Unleashed, Necrophobic, Hellbutcher) in Sweden and finally mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Studios (Arch Enemy, Borknagar, Amorphis) in Sweden too. The album is the follow-up to Cryptosis’ Bionic Swarm debut album (2021) and the EP The Silent Call (2023), it once more comes with artwork by Eliran Kantor (Kreator, Testament, My Dying Bride) and also showcases the group on a darker, heavier, more melodic and extremely cinematic journey across its 11 tracks / 42 minutes of playing time.
Celestial Death is available as Ltd. CD Digipak edition in its first pressing, as Gatefold LP on 180g vinyl (Unlimited black vinyl and a Limited deep blood red vinyl in 300x copies, available from cmdistro.de, various other retailers and the band directly) and as Digital Album.
