Interview with Luana Dametto about Crypta's new album "Shades of Sorrow"

[cantoaundiosmineral]

Saw Crypta last night, they were very good and I headbanged even though I was so hungry. Woke up today with allergic conjunctivitis and spent the day at the hospital, getting medication through an IV, having my eyes examined (so uncomfortable) and knocked out on a reclining chair thanks to Benadryl. I suspect the mascara I managed to put on last night was the culprit. I could have just gone to the show without makeup, it was organized by the local metal scene and I knew absolutely no one there, owing no one any explanations. But you know, one feels the obligation to try to look nice. No one comments anything on my other social media because music scenes are very hands-off with each other. I don’t really feel like I belong to anything and want to be able to go out and see whatever and whoever interests me.

Meanwhile, my acquaintances are being invited to post about the 10 albums that have impacted them the most and I can’t help but think that no one has asked me because I’m a girl/woman/person with a cervix. At the same time, I wouldn’t want to contextualize how I experience and consume music on their terms but I still feel left out and like it’s just a guy’s circle jerk, where a female will just disrupt the flow (even if they won’t say it).

This was the show

Shades of Sorrow Over North America Tour: Crypta Live @ Bogg’s Social & Supply!

Last year during the US Tour of Terror at The Masquerade in Atlanta, Morbid Angel brought a band named Crypta out on tour with them. After seeing the carnage and mayhem that is Crypta, when they announced their first-ever United States headlining tour, I knew that I had to be there. Crypta is a death metal band from Sao Paulo, Brazil that formed during the Summer of 2019. The band features Fernanda Lira (bass/vocals), Jéssica di Falchi (guitar), Tainá Bergamaschi (guitar), and Luana Dametto (drums). Crypta has released two (2) LPs and seven (7) singles. The latest album, Shades of Sorrow was released August 4th, 2023, on Napalm Records. It is also worth noting that Luana and Fernanda previously played together in the Brazilian thrash/death metal band Nervosa.

Leading up to Morbid Angel’s US Tour of Terror last year, I listened to Crypta’s debut album, Echoes of the Soul, steadily on repeat getting ready for that show. Crypta quickly became a band that I put in my musical rotation daily. I knew that this band was going to make some magic in the future, and I was excited to listen to their growth. So, when Crypta announced the Shades of Sorrow Over North America Tour 2024, I added a reminder to make sure I would not miss their Atlanta date. Crypta’s Shades of Sorrow Over North America Tour 2024 kicked off in beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico on January 27th, and will continue until the tour finale in Seattle, Washington on March 2nd, 2024. Almost halfway through their tour, Crypta stopped by Bogg’s Social and Supply in Atlanta, Ga. to perform with local Atlanta area bands Murder Van and Malefic.

Murder Van is a death/thrash metal band from Atlanta, Ga. that formed in 2018. Murder Van includes DeathRay (bass), Drew Verstraete (drums), and Skraw Tharp (guitar/vocals). They have independently released one (1) LP, one (1) EP, and two (2) singles. Murder Van was a good choice to kick off the festivities, as they played some of their hardest and most brutal songs for the early crowd. And in return, the crowd showed their utmost appreciation for this insane set from Murder Van. Even Brent Hinds (Mastodon guitarist) showed up this evening to support his Atlanta buds. That is what Atlanta does, always coming out and supporting the homies! This was my first time checking them out and I hope to see them again soon.

You can follow this link to Murder Van’s Official Bandcamp page and check them out today!  

Malefic is a black/death metal band from Marietta, Ga. that has been active from 2003 to 2010, 2013-present. Malefic currently consists of Sam Williams (guitars), Jason Da Vila (guitars), Andy McGraw (bass), and Aaron Baumoel (drums). This quartet was crammed on stage but made the best of it with another ferocious set for those who came out early to the show. It is not often that you see a drummer take the lead singing duties, but Aaron is a phenomenal dual performer. Crashing hard on the drums and delivering some vicious vocals while Sam, Jason, and Andy shred on their axes. Just like Murder Van, I must admit that I have not seen Malefic before this evening, and I am ashamed of myself for missing out on some wild metal in the past. Support your local bands wherever you may live. There are a lot of great and unknown artists out there that need to be heard.

You can listen to Malefic at their Official Bandcamp page today!

Now after the opening bands helped destroy some ear drums with their ferocious sets, it was time for Crypta to take the stage. Getting the opportunity to see Crypta perform in such an intimate setting at Bogg’s Social was electrifying, especially with the energy that the band exhibits during their dynamic live shows. Crypta is a band that I will make every opportunity to see when they come near my area, and if you ever get a chance to see them then you will know exactly what I mean. Between Jessica and Taina’s lethal assault on guitar, Luana’s ability to blast some ferocious beats on the drums, or Fernanda’s wicked vocals that often remind me of the late great Chuck Schuldiner from the legendary death metal band Death.

Check out Crypta’s blistering set list from this evening’s tour stop at Bogg’s Social:

·         “The Other Side of Anger”

·         “Kali”

·         “Poisonous Apathy”

·         “Lift the Blindfold”

·         “The Outsider”

·         “Lullaby for the Forsaken”

·         “Stronghold”

Crypta se presenta por primera vez en Uruguay

La banda de death metal brasilera toca el jueves en Espacio Midas

CRYPTA llega por primera vez a Montevideo para presentar Shades Of Sorrow, su último disco, lanzado en agosto de este año. La banda se presentará en Espacio Midas previo a encabezar la última edición del año de Heavy Noise Festival, en Buenos Aires.

Formada en 2019 e integrada por Fernanda Lira, Luana Dametto, Sonia Anubis y Tainá Bergamaschi—Crypta viene de una exitosa gira europea. En 2022 participaron del Wacken Open Air y recientemente Tobias Forge, líder de Ghost, las eligió como su banda en ascenso predilecta: "Crypta voló mi mente", dijo. "Son una fantástica combinación entre death metal y black-metal, pero muy descifrable, donde puedes cantar todo lo que ella (Lira) canta".

Con riffs de guitarra afilados, baterías frenéticas y voces guturales, el sonido de Crypta refresca la escena del death metal clásico, manteniéndose fieles a la escencia del género en base a potencia y destreza instrumental.

En su paso por Uruguay, compartirán escenario con Cerebral Damage, banda de Montevideo originada en 2019. En 2022 editaron el EP Perpetual Torment bajo el sello Valvular Records y en la actualidad se encuentran trabajando en un nuevo material, de próximo lanzamiento.

La cita es este jueves 14 de diciembre a als 20hs en Espacio Midas (Av Gral Rondeau 1493). Quedan entradas en Redtickets a $1000

Crypta Shades of Sorrow 2023 Review

Brazillian Death Metal band Crypta has been a hot topic of 2023 with their unbelievably good festival sets and playthroughs for the new album “Shades of Sorrow”. Crypta is a happy accident, formed by two ex members of famed Nervosa, Fernanda Lira (bass, vocals) and bombastic drummer Luana Dametto. The two parted from Nervosa due to creative differences, and I think it was ultimately for the best.…

Brazilian Death Metallers CRYPTA Announce 'Shades Of Sorrow' Album

Brazilian death metallers CRYPTA will relase their second album, "Shades Of Sorrow", on August 4, 2023 via Napalm Records. Formed in 2019 by former NERVOSA members Luana Dametto (drums) and Fernanda Lira (vocals),and now featuring guitarists Tainá Bergamaschi and Jessica di Falchi, CRYPTA released its acclaimed first album, "Echoes Of The Soul", in 2021. The LP landed at No. 55 on the official German album chart and debuted at No. 15 on both the U.S. Hard Music Albums and Top New Artist Albums charts.

On "Shades Of Sorrow", CRYPTA stays true to its unique sound that was introduced on "Echoes Of The Soul", blending classic and modern death metal with significant extreme and black metal elements. Straight from the burning gates of death metal salvation, their brand new single, "Lord Of Ruins", serves as a relentless harbinger of what the new album has to offer and a smashing dose of true CRYPTA sound, leaving the listener breathless. The song is highlighted by a demonic, captivating official video that showcases the full power of the matchless combination.

Dametto comments on "Lord Of Ruins": "'Lord Of Ruins' was our pick for a first single 'cause it combines both melodic and aggressive melodies that are present throughout the whole album. So we thought it's a good representation of what to expect of the whole piece. It's also the final song of the record and it has a very impactful meaning. It’s the closure of the whole album concept and it also fits perfectly to the artwork concept we had in mind."

As a raging monster on its own, "Shades Of Sorrow" begins with the instrumental piano intro track "The Aftermath", creating an ominous atmosphere before "Dark Clouds" kicks straight off with feral growls to drop jaws, showcasing the full extent of the band’s striking interplay from the very first second. "Poisonous Apathy" features electrifying guitar sounds and prominent hard-hitting bass, creeping into the listener's brain. Ruthless "The Outsider" unleashes a massive drum attack and another ferocity of coals, before it fades into a softer outro that melts seamlessly into the intro of "Stronghold", one of the slower and more melodic tracks on the album. Outstanding death metal drumming on "The Other Side of Anger" sets the scene for threatening vocals, evoking an uncontrollable storm. Dark and deep instrumental piano interlude "The Limbo" acts as an intro to the impressive guitar work on "Trial Of Traitors". Following the eerie, haunting "Lullaby For The Forsaken" comes "Agents Of Chaos", showcasing the undeniable talent of the band with its many changes. Relentless death metal tracks "Lift The Blindfold" and "Lord Of Ruins" offer the last dose of true CRYPTA sound, leaving the listener breathless before the beautiful instrumental outro "The Closure" wraps the album up.

Lira comments on "Shades Of Sorrow": "'Shades Of Sorrow' is a semi-concept album which meaning describes a journey through the depths of our psyche when facing tough battles. It's a trip to the many shades of pain we sometimes have to face while enduring our lives challenges. The songs are the perfect gloomy, dark, emotional soundtrack for this journey."

"Shades Of Sorrow" was recorded at Family Mob Studio, mixed by Daniel Bergstrand at 33 in Stockholm, Sweden and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studio.
