Return To Realms

by CRYPTIC SHIFT

supported by

Salami Dick Death Without question, forging their own sound in the Cosmic Death Metal realm. With only excitement I say they could be considered similar to a sound like Atheist with fretless bass.

If that doesn't get you difficult in the pants I don't know what will.

Dumb mmmn blue - green is my favorite color combination in MtG

about

On May 4th internationally, BLOOD HARVEST RECORDS is proud to reissue CRYPTIC SHIFT's Beyond the Celestial Realms, now retitled as Return to Realms, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Originally released in 2016, the original 23-minute Beyond the Celestial Realms largely introduced CRYPTIC SHIFT to the wider metal underground. While a couple demos and EPs preceded the record, Beyond the Celestial Realms was the UK quartet's first major recording, revealing the mesmerizing mastery of their vintage-yet-fresh tech-thrash. And while the 2020 debut album Visitations from Enceladus blew minds far and wide and truly put CRYPTIC SHIFT's name on the metal map, Beyond the Celestial Realms has been sought after as a crucial puzzle-piece for their ever-growing legions of fans.

Allied again with BLOOD HARVEST, who released that momentous debut album, CRYPTIC SHIFT now offer Return to Realms - a unique configuration of Beyond the Celestial Realms. The vinyl version includes the bonus track "Entombed in Flesh," from the 2016 demo recording session, but previously unreleased on physical format. Included with the vinyl will be a download card which includes a total of 10 songs: all the songs appearing on the vinyl as well as the rest of the 2016 demo recording session. The CD and tape versions include all 10 songs. To coincide with the release of Return to Realms, BLOOD HARVEST will be doing a vinyl re-press of Visitations from Enceladus, now featuring different cover artwork, on the same date. Space is the place, so no better time to Return to Realms with CRYPTIC SHIFT!

The Enduring Spirit

Derrick manages to bring a bit of his Dream Unending urges into Tomb Mold, and with great effect. Every track on this is a winner, but "Will of Whispers" feels the most forward-thinking, mixing melody with heaviness and a near-fusion level of musicianship. My favourite modern death metal album. jcridford

If ya dig in your face heavy death metal this album checks all of the right boxes. Deep into your bowels vocals, a pummeling rhythm section that’s gonna make you have to change your underwear several times and gigantic riffs that will make your skin crawl out the door to get several bacon cheeseburgers! This is one of my favorite all time albums and one of the best of 2019. Get hip. Get blown away…. Grouchomarc
