Background information about 'Shades Of Sorrow'

Brazilian death metal powerhouse Crypta delivers a crushing sophomore effort that showcases their evolution from promising newcomers to legitimate contenders in the extreme metal scene. "Shades Of Sorrow" finds the quartet - featuring former Nervosa members Luana Damiano on vocals and Tainá Bergamaschi on bass, alongside guitarists Sonia Anubis and Jessica di Falchi - exploring darker territories while maintaining their signature blend of technical prowess and raw aggression. The album's 13 tracks weave through themes of betrayal, inner turmoil, and societal decay with tracks like "Poisonous Apathy" and "Trial of Traitors" delivering punishing riffs that hit like sledgehammers to the soul.

What sets this release apart is Crypta's ability to balance brutality with melody, creating moments of haunting beauty within the chaos. "Lullaby for the Forsaken" stands as a testament to their songwriting maturity, while "Agents of Chaos" unleashes pure sonic violence that'll leave your neck sore for days. The production courtesy of Napalm Records gives each instrument room to breathe while maintaining that crushing wall of sound that death metal demands. This isn't just another death metal album - it's a statement of intent from four women who refuse to be pigeonholed or underestimated.
