The New Bands Thread - The Pit Edition

First Post July 02, 2021 11:03 AM

Inspired by Sonny starting this kind of thread in The Fallen, I decided to give it a go with a different clan. I'm sure a lot you have heard of this band already... Cryptic Shift! A deathly progressive thrash metal band from Leeds, West Yorkshire, they formed in 2013 and released several demos and EPs since then, but it wasn't until 2020 when their debut album Visitations from Enceladus was released. I say they sound like a cross between Vektor, Revocation, and mid-2000s Gojira, with slight death-doom/melodeath influences, all in a cosmic spacey theme. I sure look forward to getting more of this band's music (along with several other bands) tomorrow, but for now, enjoy this immense powerful contender for best album of 2020:

If there are any other new bands you like, please share here. And if they're in a different clan, feel free to start a thread in that clan. The new shall be known!
