Italy's up and coming power rock trio CRIPTA BLUE was formed in 2019 by members of bands like Desert Wizard, Rising Dark and Talismanstone. Being no strangers to the heavy music scene, the trio skilfully plays an enthralling and vibrant blend of dark though funky and fuzzy psych rock, jamming heavy power blues and a remarkable primordial sound of NWOBHM-doom.

CRIPTA BLUES‘ debut full-album has the psychedelic mood you can't help but to dive into, with gloomy lyrics and the hint of a cult horror classic. The baritone vocals of frontman and bassist Andrea Giuliani are shrouded by acid and fuzz rock soundscapes, full of power blues and with the soul of doom. Without any doubt CRIPTA BLUE's upcoming album will create quite a buzz in the heavy scene!

Andrea Giuliani says: "Our dark creature is finally alive. Our personal blend of doom and psych rock looks back on the past. On the exciting wild end 60’s and the dark early 70's with their proto type of heavy rock and doom metal. We use no occult lyrics, but instead distorted and horrible metaphors of what it means to taste life and to live it sinking deep, surrounded by the living dead".
