Influences"It was CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER along with bands like D.R.I., ACCUSED, AGNOSTIC FRONT, C.O.C., THE CRUMBSUCKERS, SLAYER, HELLBASTARD, NAPALM DEATH etc. that in the mid-80s turned a world of metalheads onto hardcore and a planet of punks onto metal."
~inmusicwetrust.com
Sounds Like"Along with D.R.I., C.O.C. and the contributions of punkers like Discharge and The Exploited, Cryptic Slaughter built up the genre of "thrash" music from haphazard crossover to a science of more terrifying, instantaneous music."

   About CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER
The original Speedcore merchants, Cryptic Slaughter dealt a West Coast hand into the late 80's Crossover movement, a movement that saw the normally warring armies of punk rock and thrash metal finally come together into a unified front bent on exposing social injustice and political hypocrisy. Powered by a previously unimagined sense of informed aggression, the band's uncompromising political stance and lightning-fast tempos ultimately proved too harsh for mainstream tastes, but their status as underground legends remains unquestioned.

Vocalist/bassist Bill Crooks, guitarists Les Evans and Adam Scott, and drummer Scott Peterson first met while playing on their High School soccer team, and formed Cryptic Slaughter in 1984. Adam Scott was soon on the outs, but the remaining trio still managed to cut their five-song Life in Grave" demo by May of the following year. Its sheer speed and unbridled ferocity quickly made it a favorite conversation piece on the all-important underground tape-trading network -- a worldwide phenomenon that had already launched dozens of successful acts before them -- and eventually landed Cryptic Slaughter a contract with fast-rising independent Metal Blade Records.

Issued in 1986, the band's debut album Convicted introduced new bassist Rob Nicholson (freeing Crooks to focus on his rabid vocal delivery) and somehow crammed fourteen tracks into a violently giddy, adrenalin-charged half hour, every single cut spewing a torrent of anti-establishment bile and fury. Follow-up efforts like 1987's Money Talks and 1988's Stream Of Consciousness added only the smallest of sonic refinements, and kept the group's ever-expanding legion of fans happy by staying true to their original, raw and frenetic style.

Cryptic Slaughter TRIVIA:

* Napalm Death covers "Lowlife" on their 2004 album, Leaders Not Followers: Part 2.

* Bass-player Rob Nicholson, aka Blasko, used to play with Rob Zombie, Danzig, Prong and now plays bass for Ozzy Osbourne.

* Powerviolence band Spazz covers "M.A.D" on their 1997 album "La Revancha"

* The song "Lowlife" is featured in the video game Tony Hawk's Project 8.

* A "Convicted" album is seen being handled by Johnny Depp in the 21 Jump Street pilot.

* Cryptic Slaughter is featured in the book Sound of the Beast, the Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal.

* "Money Talks" is the featured album in Decibel magazines Hall of Fame feature. April 2007.

* "Money Talks" is featured in the SPIN Magazine column "Essentials". July 2007.

* Cryptic Slaughter gets a "shout out" from some punker in the film Decline of the Western Civilization: Part 2.

Oi pessoal... As "Sementes da Desordem" estão em contagem decrescente para a propagação oficial.

Estamos a chegar ao fim de mais um ano e a época natalicia vai promovendo o capitalismo e o consumismo, pelo menos para os que vão podendo. Altura de lavar consciencias e de "ajudar o proximo"...
E é no ambito do espirito de natal que os Ervas Daninhas irão ter durante todo o mês de Dezembro e até ao fim do ano mais um tema que faz parte do EP que está para sair brevemente, o tema tem por titulo "Escravo do Prazer" e apela ao prazer, ao sexo e ao amor. Explodão de prazer e façam-se viver!!

Aproveitamos também para deixar agradecimentos especiais a todos os que nos têm ajudado e apoiado neste e noutros anos. Agradecimentos ainda ao Paulão (Decreto 77) que gravou, produziu e foi o 6º elemento da banda no EP - "Sementes da Desordem"; João (Decreto 77) pela grande participação no tema "Guitarras de Guerra"; ao Arroja e ao Igor no "filme" criado para o tema "Bar da GNR".
Desejos a todos de um próximo ano melhor, mais justo, mais feliz e com muita atitude.
