Cryptal Darkness... an epic journey through sadness and
sorrow, an age-old spirit with a modern and diverse sound. Cryptal Darkness
weave a traffic melody of mourning and regret.
Formed in the winter of '93 the band dabbled with various sounds and
ideas, but by late '95 the sound was starting to shape up; melodic, dark
and emotional, it was not long after this that the band entered the
studio to record their debut album endless tears. This album laid the path
for the classic 1999 album they whispered you had risen, which took
their mournful sound to the extreme with songs like to blackened skies I
suffer and the gothic nightmare of title track they whispered....
Late 2000 saw the band's last release chapter II the fallen, seen as
part two of they whispered... the band took their sound even further with
the sorrowful my eternal hunger and the epic a vision of beauty and
desire lost.
In late 2002 after growing tensions in the band and due to issues with
label ICON records, the band in its then current form decided a fresh
start was in order. Guitar duo and song writing team Mark Kelson & Chris
Burton saw this as their opportunity to start the eternal and drummer
Oneil Alexander joined elegion.
