SceptoCrypt Extreme Music Research

Sceptocrypt formed in Malta in 1992, keen to forge a sound distinctively its own, an extreme metal sound looking out of its own box (embracing non-metal styles, but without loosing its abrasive edge!).

Releasing 2 tapes up to 1999, the band’s idea was received well by the leading press & labels of then - like Holy Records (FR), Bliss Records (UK), Aardschock (NL), Fight Amnesia (DE), Ill Literature (USA), Koito (IT), MorticiaNumskull (NL), Dusk Woerot (Colombia), Death Bite (Lith), Fanfare (BE), Brutalism.com (NL), Eternal Darkness (USA) - writing lines like “demo of the month”, “one of the best tapes of 1996”, “one of the most brilliant demos in years”, and more for you to read at https://sceptocrypt.com/category/press/

A full-length was recorded in 1999 but the band then disbanded, and this was only released in 2015.

Reforming in 2022, the band have since released 2 singles, with a 3rd due for 13.01.26 as a teaser from an upcoming 2nd full-length!
