According to Metal Archives, Cryptae is two Dutchmen: Kees Peerdeman [Heavy Natural, ex-Invunche (live)] on guitars and vocals; and René Aquarius [Coffin Lurker, Dossier Negro, DungeönHammer, Horrid Apparition, Imperial Cult, Plague Organ, Sneezing Pus, Celestial Bodies, Dead Neanderthals, Dystopian Architect, Heavy Natural, Krishna, O Saala Sakraal, ex-Fantoom] on vocals and drums. It means savage, ugly, animalistic heaviness, something akin to garage, minimalistic, simplistic, obnoxious cave growling that emphasizes chugging guitar, and loud, basic drumming. Even death, black, doom and extreme metal fans in general might not be ready for this jelly. When the going gets tough, Cryptae gets a lot more abrasive, like the guitar (is that even a guitar?) is the sound of sandpaper rubbed against the wall loudly in exponential way, and an angry bear is playing drums, and now add the vocals, and things just got a lot bigger, dumber barbaric. It sounds like it was recorded in an old warehouse, down by the abandoned oil refinery. It has a rough-and-tumble, even a somewhat industrial-brutal feel to it (but it does not sound like drum programming, and it's not "dancey"), with a big, fat drum sound, almost like Cryptae was imagining a couple of angry, frustrated brutes finding a guitar, microphone and drums in said abandoned warehouse, and they start growling and pounding. It is primal-horrible in the most knuckle-dragging way possible. Listen to it and walk right into the ugliness, and if you keep listening, you may just discover the joy, the pure joy, in this postapocalyptic tribal-garage growl cacophony of the ogres.
