With over a decade under their belts and considered by many to be one of the pioneers of the burgeoning metal underground in India, Kryptos has spearheaded the steady rise of Indian heavy metal over the years.
Formed in the winter of 1998, Kryptos has always strived to create original and thought provoking music, which combines the aesthetics of 80’s thrash and pure melodic metal. Influenced by the likes of Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden along with heavy hitters like Coroner, Kreator, Candlemass, Dark Tranquillity and Nevermore, Kryptos manage to channel these influences into a sound that is all their own.
In 2004, Kryptos released their debut album, Spiral Ascent, which quickly spread through the underground circuit in India as well as countries like Germany, Argentina and other parts of Europe. Featuring incredible cover art by Dark Tranquillity’s Niklas Sundin, the album was a tour de force of gritty melodic heavy metal. Bursting at the seams with classic riffs, catchy melodies and inspired songwriting, Spiral Ascent helped garner a whole new legion of dedicated fans from all over the country and other parts of the world.
With the success of their first album, Kryptos headlined scores of gigs and festivals and showed the nation why they are one of the most intense and powerful live acts to ever emerge from the Indian subcontinent.
In April 2006 Kryptos signed with Old School Metal Records from California, U.S.A and became one of the first metal bands from India to be signed by an international label. The band entered the studios later that year to record the highly anticipated follow up to their debut album and finally emerged in mid 2008 with their storming second album The Ark Of Gemini
