Kryptograf has carved out a distinct niche by fusing the raw, heavy sounds of late 60s / early 70s rock with the intensity and aggression that doom metal and stoner rock are known for. Formed in Bergen, a city known for its robust and unique musical scene, Kryptograf debuted with a sound that resonated deeply in the underground scene. Their homage to classic rock giants and a contemporary edge have made them stand-out interpreters of that era’s atmospheric riffs and gritty tones.
Their upcoming third album marks an evolution in their sound, with a deepened focus on melody and dynamic songwriting without sacrificing their core intensity. The A-side carries a distinct “Scandi-rock” flavor, while the B-side’s darker, doom-laden tracks suggest they’re leaning even further into heavier, moodier depths. Kryptograf’s unmistakable, collective vocal delivery and riff style ensure this album will retain their signature sound while showcasing a mature, nuanced approach to the genre. “Kryptonomicon” is a rich, complex listen that’s still undeniably Kryptograf.
