Crypta Splits With Guitarist Jéssica di Falchi

Brazilian death metal squad Crypta has announced that they have parted ways with guitarist Jéssica di Falchi. The guitarist joined the ranks in 2022, initially as a live member, before becoming a full time part of the band and recording their second album, "Shades Of Sorrow." A statement from Crypta reads as follows:

"This step was taken by mutual agreement, with the decision coming from her, and being respected and accepted by the band. We are immensely grateful to Jéssica for all our time, journey, experiences and adventures together over the last few years, and we will always cherish and appreciate all her contribution to the band.

"We wish you luck and the best for your future and your career, Jessi! Thank you!

"We would like to remind you all that future shows and tours already scheduled and yet to be announced, as well as the writing and release of Crypta's third album will continue unaffected and will occur as planned."

di Falchi herself stated:
"I would like to thank Crypta for trusting in my work and for inviting me to be a part of this story. I am also very grateful to the fans for their support and kindness. I will carry this experience with me forever. See you soon on the road!"

Biohazard & Life Of Agony Bring Brooklyn To London

It's quite amazing how far a reputation can travel. Through music, movies, sportsmen and more, the borough of Brooklyn, New York is known all across the world. From the Beastie Boys to Mike Tyson, so many people have helped give the area the fame, and to an extent notoriety that it maintains today. Of course, there's no shortage of heavy music in Brooklyn, and at long last, two of Brooklyn's most revered names teamed up to bring their punishing sounds to Europe, beginning in the British Isles. On March 4th, Biohazard and Life Of Agony arrived in London, enticing everyone in the British capital with Knicks and Jets merchandise out to the show to hear the concrete audio both groups are known for.

The Kentish Town Forum, a personal favourite when it comes to venues in The Smoke, opened at six in the evening but it would be nearly an hour before attendees would get to witness the opening band of the night, LYLVC (pronounced, "lilac") from North Carolina. I must admit to some hesitation because I can't stand it when bands spell their name in capitals or use Vs and Ys when it's not needed, but it's not fair to judge a band on this kind of thing. The venue was still a long way from being full and when greeted with TV screens, complete with sci-fi intro video, the crowd clearly didn't know what to make of it.

To be honest, this attitude barely changed throughout the set, which was a shame because LYLVC has a ton of energy and was clearly excited to be performing in London. Their mix of rock, rap and electronic music comes together to create an uplifting sound and vocalist Alyse Zavala was a particular highlight, though I did enjoy watching keyboardist Cam Gillette, because I was convinced that at any moment his gear was about to fall over. Ultimately, LYLVC far exceeded my expectations, but the lack of reaction from the audience led me to believe that this was the wrong tour for them. They'd fit in better with modern nu metal bands like Blind Channel or Project Renegade, or even supporting veterans of that sub-genre. An intriguing, if miscast opener. More...
