Today, the band shares the official video of «Static Horizon»Of the next release. Look at it below.
Cryptosis Comment:
«’Static Horizon‘It’s the 3rd single of our next album’Celestial Death‘, for sale on March 7 through Century Media Records. The song combines Black Metal atmospheres and symphonic elements with rapid Prog metal guitars and melodic grooves. The title represents the feeling of being trapped in a static and immutable reality, where progress and hope seem distant. With its disturbing melodies and intense riffs, the theme offers a powerful mixture of gross energy and deep emotion ».
Cryptosis previously commented on «Celestial Death«:
«We are excited to announce our new album! A sonic trip that pushes all the limits of everything we have created before. This album represents our evolution – an exploration of darkness that is both vast and cinematographic. ‘Celestial Death‘It immerses you in a disturbing atmosphere with implacable heaviness. Each topic deepens the enigma of existence, decline and fragile hope. ‘Celestial Death‘It is our darkest vision to date, a soundtrack for the chaotic world in which we live. It is heavier, bolder, and still very Cryptosis. We cannot wait for you to experience it and you join us in this new chapter. Prepare to ascend. Heavenly death awaits ».
