Cryptic Shift Premiere New Single & Music Video "Hexagonal Eyes (Diverity Trepaphymphaszym" From Upcoming New Album "Overspace & Supertime"

Progressive death metal outfit Cryptic Shift have set a February 27 release date for their new album, Overspace & Supertime, via Metal Blade Records. The Leeds, UK–based band have also unveiled a new music video for “Hexagonal Eyes (Diverity Trepaphymphaszym),” directed by Murry Deaves.

Drummer Ryan Shepherson shared the following thoughts on what distinguishes this record from its predecessor:

“The concept of ‘Overspace & Supertime‘ plays as an alternative reality to the happenings of ‘Visitations From Enceladus‘, taking our character into new dimensions filled with both greater adventures and more bizarre encounters. Whilst the concept themes of our sci-fi tale have grown, so have our efforts in synthesizing it with the ultimate Astrodeath soundscape. The record takes the listener on a deeper journey through the fusion of our influences, with some exciting twists and turns along the way.”

Regarding the newly released track, vocalist/guitarist Alexander Bradley commented:

“The track demonstrates a vicious proficiency never before seen in death and thrash metal: A relentless flow of smart compositional ideas seize your attention in a black hole grip, across our most extreme material yet. ‘Diverity Trepaphyphasyzm’ then describes the first stages of a warped temporal disease as our character returns to the moonbase location from our highly acclaimed debut album. Films like the Star Wars prequels inspire us just as much as our contemporaries in the genre; fans of sci-fi storytelling and ripping technical metal are guaranteed to have a blast with this record.”
