Так что мы здесь имеем - Первый трек – “Purgatory” – злостный black
death с отменной поддержкой клавишных. Второй – всё тоже black
/ death рубилово. Очень вкусно.
Мне напомнило старый добрый immortal. Помните их восьмиминутные
опусы времён "At The Heart Of Winter"? Правда здесь треки не по
восемь минут, но такая же эпичность присутствует. Отдельное спасибо
за пятую вещь In Immortality - Тотальный мрак и тьма !!!
Bad I'm
Cryptic Tales was founded in 1989 by Piotr Kopko (guitar, vocals)
and Jaroslaw Maciuszek (drums). Then Dariusz Gibalewicz (guitar) and
Witold Zawdzki (bass) joined the band. After two years of rehearsing
the band decided to record their first demo tape "The Sign Of The
Southern Cross" (1991). This tape was appreciated in Polish
underground metal. In 1993 the first official record "Anathema" was
released by Carnage Rec. At that time it was claimed by many
reviewers to be one of the best and the most original death metal
productions in Poland. On "Anathema" one could find fresh ideas such
as various musical instruments being used. At that time the band did
a lot of gigs, sharing stage with the biggest bands in Polish metal.
In 1994 Cryptic Tales recorded their next mini album "Valley Of The
Dolls" (Gamma/Croon Rec. 94), a controversial release, which,
despite of some originalities like mixing brutal music with flute,
was not acclaimed. After the realse of "Valley Of The Dolls" there
was a line-up change. Witold Zawadzki left the band and Mateusz
Bernardyn took his place. In 1996 another full length was created
and entiteled "The Tales" (Croon Rec. 96)
A moment later "The Tales" is being remastered and rereleased by
German Awaken Prod. After that Maciej Motyka exchanged Dariusz
Gibalewicz on the guitar. After the release of The Tales, the band
played many gigs mostly in Poland and Germany. "The Tales" made
Cryptic Tales one of the biggest bands in doom-death metal genre. At
high tide of their career the band unexpectedly stopped their job.
Cryptic Tales was one of the most original and acclaimed bands in
90's Polish metal music. It was applauded by metal maniacs,
appreciated by record labels and media. "Anathema" and "The Tales"
are the pieces of music which can be given a cult status. After
seven years of silence the band has begun to rehearse. The line-up
has been: Piotr Kopko (guitar, vocals), Jaroslaw Maciuszek (drums),
Mateusz Bernardyn (bass) and a newcomer Jacek Fall (guitar). The new
material has been composed and the new style has been created. The
effect of the band's hard work is entitled "VII Dogmata Of Mercy" (Empire
Rec. 2008). In the meantime Bartlomiej Filipinski (keys) joined the
band.
"VII Dogmata Of Mercy" is an acclaimed album, receiving roper
feedback in
Polish media. It is also approved by fans so the first Cryptic Tales
video; Towards Modern Darkness is produced (ZWELLINDER GROUP '08).
Soon after the band decides to come back to the stage, supporting
Samael in Cracow (Loch Ness' 09). In April 2009, an American label:
CRASH MUSIC rereleases "VII Dogmata Of Mercy"
