KRYPTERIA is a German-Korean four piece, fronted by leadsinger Ji-In Cho.
Ji-In, who studied vocals and piano at the renowned Musikhochschule/Cologne, and her trio of band mates form one of Europe's hottest new live acts.
KRYPTERIA have a knack for dramatic punch-you-in-the-face songs with sizzling melodies all spiced up with mysterious atmospheres and classical elements such as their trademark Gregorian chants.
But who are KRYPTERIA ?
After teaming up at the end of 2004 the cosmopolitan foursome has left amazed audiences in its wake ever since: Not only because they deliver high class power hymns that effortlessly crossover to the melodic genre, but also because they stage a remarkably energetic and entertaining live performance that will rock your socks off.
Bewitching Ji-In, guitar/producer-ace Chris Siemons, and the thunderous grooves of human dynamo Frank Stumvoll on bass and showboating drummer deluxe S.C. Kuschnerus provide an epic feast for the ears, a killer show, plus infectious enthusiasm to boot all rolled into one.
Backed by a spectacular and celebrated promotional trip to Korea back in February 2006 KRYPTERIA are in especially hot demand in the Land of the Morning Calm, as documented by No.1 positions in the Hottracks international rock album charts, the video charts as well as the airplay charts.
During the second half of 2006 the band had been writing and recording their 2007 release "Bloodangel's Cry" with a vengeance, interrupted only by their Vietnamese concert debut, a set of tour dates with the legendary Deep Purple and their successful Wacken debut during the summer before enjoying a sold-out German tour alongside Subway to Sally and another blockbuster performance in front of 15.000 enthused Asian fans in Ho Chi Minh City.
Ready, willing, hungry and dangerous the eclectic foursome hit stages all over the world full-throttle again in 2007 and 2008 - to further introduce themselves and to present the explosive array of hot tracks off “Bloodangel’s Cry”.
And they will continue to do so with new songs fresh off their highly anticipated upcoming album MY FATAL KISS.
This record will feature new material that according to the musicians themselves will elevate KRYPTERIA’s sonic intensity and lyrical identity to a whole new level...needless to say that they can’t wait to return to the stage and bring the hammer down again live just like they did last summer in front of 30.000 metal heads at Europe’s biggest hard & heavy festival, the legendary Wacken Open Air.
MY FATAL KISS will be the first release on ROADRUNNER RECORDS’ new division ONFIRE.
ONFIRE is headed by former GUN records CEO Wolfgang Funk, who recently joined forces with ROADRUNNER and WARNER, a move that drew quite some attention in the rock and metal world.
With the original line-up still going strong in its fifth year, KRYPTERIA now are eager to strike again.
Their new album MY FATAL KISS will be released on August 28th, 2009 with its European release scheduled for January 2010.

Put together the first music video for one of the songs, that being for the song "Eel Marsh House", which is based on the movie "The Woman In Black". Wasn't sure to name it that instead of 'Eel Marsh..." ...Eel Marsh House being where the woman in black 'lived', and now haunts it. Though, she seems to haunt the general area of the village as well as the House. If anyone catches her gaze, looks into her eyes....a child will die, usually from the family of the person unfortunate to look at her. As you see what happens to the story's main character at the end.
Hope you like it, that's about all for now, Cheers! Rob
