“CRYPTA enters a new era with “A Portrait of Decay,” the first track to showcase the band’s new lineup and offer a glimpse into what fans can expect from their future sound.
After announcing Victoria Villarreal as their new permanent guitarist in April this year, completing the four-piece lineup alongside Fernanda Lira (bass, vocals), Luana Dametto (drums), and Tainá Bergamaschi (guitar), the band now unleashes this brand-new track, building anticipation for CRYPTA’s next chapter.
“A Portrait of Decay” hits like an aggressive death metal steamroller while exploring dissociation as a means of enduring pain and suffering. All of this is brought to life by an intensely aggressive yet atmospheric and melancholic instrumental attack, paired with the spine-tingling vocals of Fernanda Lira.
The song is accompanied by an official music video that, at first glance, may seem
distinctive compared to the song’s sonic intensity. The script for the video was written by CRYPTA’s drummer Luana Dametto, who states:
“The video clip is both an almost poetic contrast to the harsh death metal sound but also a cinematic depiction of the lyrics: An ethereal and almost dream-like landscape that represents someone's true state of being, clear thoughts and light emotions, that slowly dissipate with the passing of time and changing of surroundings, and with the night and a much darker environment, after a while, feelings of being adrift and astray arise, showing that our conditions and time can directly change the way we see ourselves and the way we feel and interact.“
The new single just in time for CRYPTA to kick off their North American tour with Arch Enemy, The Black Dahlia Murder, Septicflesh, and Thrown Into Exile, beginning on October 5 in Riverside, CA.
“A Portrait of Decay” was recorded in Belgium in June this year and engineered, mixed, and mastered by Yarne Heylen at Project Zero Studio. The artwork of the single cover was created by Brazilian artist Marcos Miller.

A CRYPTA entra em uma nova era com “A Portrait of Decay”, a primeira faixa a apresentar a nova formação da banda e oferecer um vislumbre do que os fãs podem esperar de sua sonoridade daqui para frente.
Após anunciar Victoria Villarreal como sua nova guitarrista permanente em Abril deste ano, completando a formação de quatro integrantes ao lado de Fernanda Lira (baixo, vocais), Luana Dametto (bateria) e Tainá Bergamaschi (guitarra), a banda agora apresenta esta faixa inédita, aumentando a expectativa para o próximo capítulo da CRYPTA.
“A Portrait of Decay” chega como um rolo compressor de death metal agressivo, enquanto aborda a dissociação como uma forma de suportar a dor e o sofrimento. Tudo isso ganha vida por meio de uma sonoridade intensamente agressiva, mas também atmosférica e melancólica, acompanhada pelos vocais arrepiantes de Fernanda Lira.
A música vem acompanhada de um videoclipe oficial que, à primeira vista, pode parecer contrastar com a intensidade sonora da faixa. O roteiro foi escrito pela baterista da CRYPTA, Luana Dametto, que explica:
“O videoclipe é tanto um contraste quase poético com o som pesado do death metal quanto uma representação cinematográfica da letra: uma paisagem etérea e quase onírica que representa o verdadeiro estado de alguém, com pensamentos claros e emoções leves, que lentamente se dissipam com a passagem do tempo e a mudança dos ambientes. Com a chegada da noite e de um ambiente muito mais sombrio, depois de algum tempo surgem sentimentos de estar à deriva e perdido, mostrando que nossas condições e o tempo podem mudar diretamente a maneira como nos enxergamos, como nos sentimos e como interagimos.”
O novo single chega pouco antes de a CRYPTA iniciar sua turnê pela América do Norte ao lado de Arch Enemy, The Black Dahlia Murder, Septicflesh e Thrown Into Exile, com início marcado para 5 de Outubro em Riverside, Califórnia.
“A Portrait of Decay” foi gravada na Bélgica em junho deste ano e teve engenharia de áudio, mixagem e masterização realizadas por Yarne Heylen, no Project Zero Studio. A arte da capa do single foi criada pelo artista brasileiro Marcos Miller

Just in time for the holiday season, the four-piece celebrates the unholy trinity of speed metal, black metal, and scabious punk.

Italian death metal, grindcore warriors LUGUBRIOUS GARMENT have posted "TRANSIENT WOUNDS, SPIRITUAL WILT", , a track from the bands anticipated debut "IN THE WIDE VALE OF UNCREATED NIGHT", due to be unleashed 10/16/2026 via 20 BUCK SPIN.
FROM 20 BUCK SPIN:
Another new release to announce today in the form of the debut album from Italy's LUGUBRIOUS GARMENT titled ‘In The Wide Vale Of Uncreated Night’.
The album’s manic first single ‘Profaned Fountain Of Leaden Waters’ is streaming everywhere and pre-orders for LP / CD are underway.
While retaining the layered, multifaceted songwriting characteristic of Gabriele Gramaglia's broader body of work, LUGUBRIOUS GARMENT directs that complexity toward outright pandemonium, channeling that restless imagination into something noticeably more feral and antagonistic.
“"In the Wide Vale of Uncreated Night" narrates about a sort of trespassing of malign spirits and fiends into the earthly realm, as a metaphor for how the evil that man can do can manifests itself as an invisible and subtle force, able to obfuscate rationality and guide other human beings' choices and actions towards really dark paths.
"Profaned Fountain of Leaden Waters" is a pivotal chapter in this epopea and musically it presents itself as one of the most omni-comprehensive tracks of the record, showcasing a melancholic side towards the end too (lyrically as well), as if a moment of meditation is permitted, after the storm.” - GG
Album Tracklist:
1. …And Therein Plant, Unto Their Souls Asunder
2. Eulogy Of Deliberate Malevolence
3. Profaned Fountain Of Leaden Waters
4. Innocence As A Burden, Guilt As A Weapon
5. Transient Wounds, Spiritual Wilt
6. Eternal Scars And Imperative Backfires
7. Eden Fades Like Blurred Nightmares

BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?.
BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond.
A couple of issues I would like to address:
ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you.
ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like.
It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful.
ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox.
I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. .
ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal..
There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist.
A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues.
Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right.
ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal.
ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label.
BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/
