The globally acclaimed Brazilian all-female death metal power house Crypta is set to embark on their inaugural headlining tour across the United States of America! Crypta will be hitting three California dates with the support of Contortion in San Diego February 23rd at the Brick By Brick, at the Whiskey A Go Go in West Hollywood February 24th, and The Starlet Room on February 27th in Sacramento.
Established in São Paulo in 2019, Crypta consists of former thrash metal band Nervosa members: vocalist/bassist Fernanda Lira, percussionist Luana Dametto, alongside rhythm guitarist Tainá Bergamaschi, and lead shredder Jessica di Falchi. "Crypta made waves on the charts with their highly praised debut album on Napalm Records, “Echoes of the Soul." in 2021 which debuted at # 15 on both the US Hard Music Albums and Top New Artist Albums charts as well as landing at # 55 on the Official German Album Charts.
This USA tour is in support of Crypta's newest sophomore album “Shades of Sorrow” which magnificently debuted at # 5 on the US Top New Artist Albums Chart, # 7 on the US Current Hard Music Albums Chart, # 4 on the Canadian Hard Music Albums Chart, # 17 on the UK Official Rock & Metal Album Charts # 23, Official German Album Charts, and even achieved high positions on charts worldwide. “Shades of Sorrow” has released 3 singles for far: "Lord of Ruins", "Trial of Traitors" and "The Other Side of Anger." Recorded at Family Mob Studio, “Shades of Sorrow” was mixed by Daniel Bergstrand at 33 Stockholm, Sweden, and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studio. On this thirteen track barrage, Crypta showcases the pinnacle of their technical prowess and songwriting abilities.

When asked about the tour lead vocalist and bassist Fernanda Lira said, "We are so happy to be back in the US! We thought it would be a good idea to be back in the US to mainly cover territories we haven't been to yet on our previous run there, so it's gonna be awesome to reach fans who haven't had the chance to watch us yet in the states we're visiting for the first time. Also, bringing the new album setup on a first ever headlining tour around there is gonna be extra special for us!"
Crypta's fierce and melodically cognizant songwriting has earned them millions of video views and invitations to prestigious festivals, including the renowned Wacken Open Air. They have also secured recent supporting slots alongside notable acts such as Ghost, Morbid Angel, and Revocation. The quartet's relentless campaign shows no signs of slowing down, and the band eagerly anticipates bringing their assault back to the United States.
Joining Crypta during these three California tour dates is SoCal best kept secret, Contortion. Re-emerging from a five-year hiatus, Contortion independently re-released "Falseflag Paradigm" in 2022. Upon revisiting the record and reflecting on the themes encapsulated in the lyrics written during 2014-15, it becomes evident that Contortion seemingly foresaw the trajectory of history before it profoundly impacted the zeitgeist of the world.
Their most recent record “The Common Thread,” was crafted over a span of six years, involved collaboration with four prominent producers, utilized seven studios, has numerous guest appearances, which will result in a more robust, intense, and intricate work of art. Set to be released February 16th of this year, “The Common Thread” will feature twelve amazing guest vocalists and guitarists from: Buther Babies, Divine Heresy, Mower, Godforbid, III Nino, Death By Stereo, Allegaeon, Angra, Brujeria, and Cattle Decapitation. The thrid single “Failure's Not An Option” just came out January 12th with a music video two days later. This album is said to boldly challenge the conventions of the current metal scene so go pre-order the record now. The band is extremely excited for their new record and can’t wait to play the new songs live in front of fans.
With a mission to raise awareness about global corruption and contribute to the long-awaited awakening of the masses, Contortion defies heavy metal stereotypes by projecting lyrical ideas that evoke a prophetic sensation. They hold the belief that humans are not mere sheep but rather striking, intelligent, capable individuals who possess the ability to govern themselves, free from the influence of the greedy sycophants currently in positions of leadership around the world.
Contortion will be hitting the pavement later this year across the United States and Europe this year, with the aspiration of joining Crypta for a tour in their home country of Brazil. Stay tuned for more updates on this ongoing revolution!"
