The Swedish cult death metal band CRYPT OF KERBEROS was founded in Eskilstuna in 1990. The group produced a handful of promotional recordings and two EP’s before their debut CD "World of Myths", which received great critical acclaim, was released in 1993 by Adipocere Records. In 2005 Bleed Records released “The Macrodex of War” a collection of all promotional material plus the EP’s recorded by the band. Since 2006 there has been rumors about the band possibly recording new material. Fast forward to 2009 and the time has arrived: CRYPT OF KERBEROS has returned!

Crypt Of Kerberos - The Ancient War

From the demo "Cyclone Of Insanity" (1991)

Lyrics:

As the bells rings
the battle here begins
smoke and blasts
mighty wizards lying in waste.
Crushing for the masters.
Whose names can't be spoken

In these ruins of a dying world
the warriors storms with a coven of Khorne

Into the battle made by war god's.
For these god's I swing my sword.
Into the battle made by war god's
I sacrifice my soul.

In thses ruins of destruction
I bring this world hate and destruction

Pulverised Records is very excited to have CRYPT OF KERBEROS on board, one of Sweden's most underrated technical Extreme Metal band in history!

Previously known as Macrodex and consisting of members from various outfits such as Tyrant, Eternal Darkness, Obscene and the like; CRYPT OF KERBEROS's infusing style of unorthodox song structures, blazing fretboard mastery and a somewhat maze-like, Sci-Fi vibe reminiscent of the mighty old gods Nocturnus, came into the early Swedish Death Metal scene in 1990 with their nonconformist yet utterly heavy style while the rest of the Swedish bands were emphasizing more on brutality.

CRYPT OF KERBEROS is slated for a follow-up new album to the 1993's full-length album "World Of Myths". More details and information will be announced soon.

States CRYPT OF KERBEROS axe-slinger Peter Bjärgö: "After many years of absence, we finally made the decision to make a new album!! A lot of material has been written throughout the years and we realised that this was more than sufficient for a full length album! The new material is darker and heavier than ever before, so we definitely look forward to start recording this album!!"

Pulverised Records label manager Roy Yeo comments: "Having known CRYPT OF KERBEROS since the early days, I was absolutely intrigued by their sense of intellectuality in the songwriting department, and of course not forgetting those jaw-dropping guitar solos that complemented the songs flawlessly! CRYPT OF KERBEROS is a perfect example of how an excellent band was criminally ignored back in the days and we hope this brand new album would give them the recognition they duly deserve."
