Cryptic Enslavement will be slamming down some brutally harsh death metal in Chilliwack this Saturday, with their upcoming show at the Chill House being one that you will not want to miss out on. 

The band is wildly full of energy and heavy music that will make any metal fans relish in their energy, and their sound is more extreme than anyone could expect from such an underground band. They have their sound on full blast 24/7 - and their style is packed full of dramatic expertise that sets them apart from other bands in the scene. It's rare that a metal band as brutal as Cryptic Enslavement comes along; but when they do? It's important not to miss out on their energy.

Sonically, it doesn't get more brutal than Cryptic Enslavement. They are without a doubt one of the most genuine, legitimate death metal projects out there - and they put the brutal into brutal death metal.
