KRYPTOS release brand new music video and reveal new album details

Literally, a metal fist in the air as the album cover. That’s how little of a doubt Bangalore‘s KRYPTOS want to leave regarding what their 4th full-length album Burn up the Night is going to be all about. This announcement was made today by their German label AFM Records who have finalized the release date to be September 23rd. The artwork is very clearly a throwback to the 80s style of traditionally painted album covers representing metal’s ‘glory’ in more literal ways. The artist Mattias Frisk is best known for his artwork for the occult rock band Ghost.
