Dutch Futuristic Metallers CRYPTOSIS Release New Video for "In Between Realities"

Dutch futuristic metallers CRYPTOSIS have recently unleashed their mighty and awe-inspiring sophomore album, 'Celestial Death,' via Century Media Records.

Today, to continue building momentum around the album’s release, and ahead of CRYPTOSIS’ upcoming tour kick-off next week, the band has shared a brand-new music video for "In Between Realities." Produced once again by acclaimed film production company F/53, the video is based on live footage from the 'Celestial Death' album release show at Enschede’s Metropool venue.

 

CRYPTOSIS checked in with the following comment about the track:

“We’re proud to present the live video for 'In Between Realities', captured during the CRYPTOSIS album release show at Metropool, Enschede (The Netherlands) on March 29, 2025. The song explores the story of a person caught between two worlds: the physical reality we all know, and a highly immersive, almost perfect virtual reality. In this VR world, life feels ideal, exciting, beautiful, and full of purpose, while the real body is slowly being neglected and forgotten.

"It’s a reflection on modern escapism, technology, and the thin line between living and existing. Experience the energy of the live show and the depth of the concept. Let us know in the comments: Where do you draw the line between reality and illusion?”

'Celestial Death' was recorded by Olaf Skoreng at Tom Meier and Studio Moon Musicbetween April and August 2024, mixed by Fredrik Folkare at Chrome Studios (Unleashed, Necrophobic, Hellbutcher) in Sweden and finally mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Studios (Arch Enemy, Borknagar, Amorphis) in Sweden too. The album is the follow-up to CRYPTOSIS’ acclaimed 'Bionic Swarm' debut album (2021) and the EP 'The Silent Call'(2023), it once more comes with artwork by Eliran Kantor (Kreator, Testament, My Dying Bride) and also showcases the group on a darker, heavier, more melodic and extremely cinematic journey across its 11 tracks / 42 minutes of playing time.

“We’re really excited to share our newest single, 'Reign of Infinite,' with all of you. This track is a dystopian anthem that dives deep into the rise of a new god, blending relentless Overkill-style double bass drums with an epic and dark atmosphere. It’s not your typical CRYPTOSISsound—most of the song rides on the same beat and pulse, creating a hypnotic energy, while Laurens’ vocals bring an atmospheric edge. As the second single from our sophomore album, 'Celestial Death,' 'Reign of Infinite' offers a glimpse into the vast and intense album we've created—one that’s darker, heavier, and more unrelenting than ever before. Stay tuned for the full album release, and let us know what you think!"

About 'Celestial Death,' CRYPTOSIS shared the following:

“We’re excited to announce our new album! A sonic journey that pushes all boundaries of everything we created before. This album represents our evolution - an exploration of darkness that’s both vast and cinematic. 'Celestial Death' pulls you into a haunting atmosphere with relentless heaviness. Each track digs deeper into the enigma of existence, decay and fragile hope. 'Celestial Death' is our darkest vision yet - a soundtrack to the chaotic world we live in. It’s heavier, bolder, and still very much CRYPTOSIS. We can’t wait for you to experience it, and join us in this new chapter. Prepare to ascend. The 'Celestial Death' awaits!".
