In 2020, they settled on the name Cryptic Hatred and self-recorded and released the 8-song Free from the Grave demo. In 2021 they became a powerful live force in the Finnish death metal scene, honing their chops before a growing, dedicated fanbase.

From the first notes of “Into the Depths” to the last gasp of “Eternal Horror,” the band exhibit an unyielding confidence and precision as each track moves with driving, tank-like ferocity. The future is here and it is dark, ugly and vile…
