Deep within the primeval rainforests of northern NSW Australia, in the ancient caldera of the tweed valley dwells Decryptus. Combining elements of old School thrash with the brutality of death metal and the aggression of hardcore, Will Magnusson, Dom Zambelli, Sam Phillips and Dane McKenzie formed Decryptus in 2013 to create a chaotic hybrid of modern metal.
Decryptus launched themselves into the local live scene and due to their crushing live show quickly attracted a loyal fan base across Australia as they shared the stage with some of the biggest bands in the country.
Decryptus entered Yarrow studios in August 2013 to record a demo titled DEMO XIII. They unleashed there demo on the 19th of October 2013, receiving much attention and radio airplay both nationally (Double kick Radio, AndrewHaug Radio) and internationally, ( Asgard Radio USA, total Metal radio USA & GRB). They were also featured in Heavy Magazine (Australia) and BLUNT Magazine (INT)and multiple compilation disks distributed worldwide.
Decryptus entered Yarrow studios again (www.yarrowstudios.com) in May 2015 to record their eagerly awaited ep THE NECROTIC DESIGN. It was released in late 2015 to worldwide critical acclaim and has projected Decryptus to the very forefront of the Australia metal scene. 2016 saw them complete a large east coast Tour of Australia for the release of their ep and video clip 'ALTARS OF A FLESHLESS VOID". DECRYPTUS have hit 2017 running playing Australia's biggest regional metalfest AUSOCALYPSE 3 and finalising material for there sure to be punishing debut album

OBSCURE-CHAOS ZINE
This is a solid 15 minute and 18 second long exercise in sonic indulgence that never loses it's grip on you once it pulls you in. 8/10
In this age of 24 hour intravenously fed social media sickness DECRYPTUS is a new war machine to combat the dissonant system imposed by an oligarchic regime intent to hide the truth of our volatile political climate and the decline of the western world. Ask yourself does democracy truly exist? Or are we too apathetic to even care, absorbed in our own self nurturing materialist greed. Will our children's children be born enslaved in an Orwellian nightmare? Or subtly are we already there? Either way it's time for war!!!.
See you in the pit!!
