Cryptae - Nightmare Traversal

 


I think when you go down the death metal rabbit hole the goal is to really find something sick, brutal and evil. If that's your goal, there's not many better end points than Cryptae, whose new record, Nightmare Traversal is some of the most wonderfully sick and twisted death metal out there. This buzzing, bottom feeding atrocity is fucking disgusting and I love every minute of it. Barely produced and raw to the core, this is the sort of demented death metal madness that so many of us got into the genre for in the first place. Isn't ultimate evil what we're all seeking anyway?  

Right off the bat let me be clear - Nightmare Traversal is fucking hard to get into. If you're not someone who really loves the dungeon basement stuff, who is in love with fucked up bands like Blood Freak, Impetigo and Spewtilator, this is not going to be for you. This is a dense listen and one that definitely takes gumption to get through. But for those of us who are enamored with the crypt, who revel in the filth and are constantly looking for that next demented track, well Nightmare Traversal becomes a sort of monument to inhumanity - and an addictive one at that. This stuff is sick and twisted and that's why we love it. 

On so many levels, Nightmare Traversal is an utter monstrosity of an album. It's challenging in the extreme, full of fucked up guitar tones and wonderfully guttural vocals. It's an album made for freaks, presumably by freaks. It represents some of the darkest frills of the death metal universe, but it is incredibly addictive. It's a veritable sludgehammer of death metal devastation. This is not music for normal people. It's music for those of us who want to go watch a band play at 120 dB while kids smoke crack in a basement that might collapse. Buy it.

  1. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
