Kryptan is a newly formed atmospheric black metal unity, featuring Mattias Norrman (October Tide, ex-Katatonia, etc) on guitars/bass/synths, Alexander Högbom (October Tide, ex-Demonical, etc) on vocals, and drummer Samuel Karlstrand (Wretched Fate, Paranorm). Four songs for a first release were already recorded with Mats Andersson at Glashuset Studios over the course of 2020. Finally, mastered by Thomas Plec Johansson at The Panic Room, the self-titled EP will be released later this year.

Mattias Norrman comments on Kryptan joining Debemur Morti Productions: "I have been following DMP for a while now. Partly because my other band (Thenighttimeproject), but also because some of my favorite acts are under Debemur's flag. To sign to a label that focuses on bands that create dark extreme music in any form is exactly where we want to be. This is our first release ever, and I am extremely excited to start this journey together. I have no doubt our collaboration will be nothing but success."




For Mattias, the urge to play black metal is nothing new, but an energy he has felt for many years: "I have been thinking of starting a project or a band for a longer time, and it might have been the abundance of free time during this pandemic that pushed me to bring my ideas to life. I have been listening to Black Metal for almost two decades, so the choice of style to my project was quite obvious. Seeing how Black Metal has influenced and fascinated me all this time, the music wrote itself."
