Cryptic Shift Unveils New Single and Music Video from Upcoming Album
Cryptic Shift have announced a February 27 release date for their new album, Overspace & Supertime, via Metal Blade Records. The Leeds, UK-based progressive death metal outfit has also premiered a new music video for their single Hexagonal Eyes (Diverity Trepaphymphaszym. Directed by Murry Deaves, the song marks an exciting chapter in the bands continued evolution.
In conversation with drummer Ryan Shepherson, it became clear that Overspace & Supertime marks a distinct departure from their previous work, Visitations From Enceladus.
The concept of Overspace & Supertime is an alternative reality to the happenings of Visitations From Enceladus, taking our character into new dimensions filled with both greater adventures and more bizarre encounters, he explained. Whilst the concept themes have grown, so have our efforts in synthesizing it with the ultimate Astrodeath soundscape. The record takes the listener on a deeper journey through the fusion of our influences, with some exciting twists and turns along the way.
Vocalist/guitarist Alexander Bradley offered insight into what can be expected from the newly released track, Hexagonal Eyes (Diverity Trepaphymphasyzm.
This song demonstrates a vicious proficiency never before seen in death and thrash metal. A relentless flow of smart compositional ideas seize your attention in a black hole grip, across our most extreme material yet, he commented. The track describes the first stages of a warped temporal disease as our character returns to the moonbase location from our highly acclaimed debut album. Fans of sci-fi storytelling and ripping technical metal are guaranteed to have a blast with this record.

01 Cryogenically Frozen
