Canadian Symphonic death/black metallers CRYPTIK HOWLING have inked a worldwide distribution deal with Maple Metal Records for their third full-length album ‘Synthetic Ascension Design’.  The album was originally self-released 6 months back to very limited distribution, but it will now have a worldwide release on Oct. 7th.
