Kryptograf to Release Self-Titled Debut June 12

Norwegian classic heavy rock newcomers Kryptograf have set a June 12 release date for their self-titled debut full-length on Apollon Records. If you know anything about me at all, aside from the fact that there’s an actual human being on the other side of the keyboard putting all these posts together, I hope it’s that finding new music and being exposed to stuff I haven’t heard before is my favorite thing. Of course, there are plenty older records that are treasure to me, but nothing beats hearing something cool for the first time.

To that end, Kryptograf‘s self-titled came down the PR wire this morning with the following info included. It runs an easily-consumed eight tracks and 38 minutes and reminds at times of early Kadavar on a song like “Omen,” but promptly gets proggier and spacier in “Seven” and saves a bit more of that vibe for the acoustic and harmonized “Ocean” later on. It’s a cool vibe throughout, whether it’s the beeps and bloops at the outset of “Crimson Horizon” or a fuzzy swing-rocker like “New Colossus,” and it’s just a band I’d never heard before who I dug and wanted to share with you. What the hell is better than that?

The single they have on Spotify, “The Veil,” opens the record, and you can hear that below. The PR wire didn’t have a ton to say about it, but it at least covers the basics:
