Cryptic Matter

(Higher Quality Version

A progressive rock/metal song from Baltimore's Cryptic Matter about being stuck in the dreadful winter, and wishing you could escape to somewhere warmer. Musically, this song heavily utilizes the Japanese Pentatonic scale. This song is available off our self-titled debut EP "Cryptic Matter" found on iTunes, Amazon mp3, and Google Play.

"The cross-pollination of Steve's metal guitar work with Justin's funk-rock drumming resulted in Cryptic Matter's unique sound, "Exotic Groove Metal," characterized by heavy guitar riffs/solos written in exotic scales, sitar simulators, Middle-Eastern drones, and hypnotic belly dancing-like drum beats. Meanwhile, Adam weaves funky/groovy bass lines underneath Devin's screamo/melodic vocal attack."

'Left For Dead' will be available to purchase a long with the rest of 'The Attitude Revival' EP on 26/04/15

Recorded at Q-Ten Studios. Produced by Travis Whalley and Sorry Hollywood.

Never found the reason to drive me to succeed
I had to find a lifestyle, provide the things I need
Now I’ve got a reason to justify my life
Now that I’m a soldier in body and mind

I don’t think that you understand
This is something I have to do
You may miss me while I’m gone
Don’t you try and tell me I was wrong

Never found the reason why you sent us here to die
Was it for the country?
An eye for an eye
Tell me the reason why so many lost their lives
Ship men to war, deceived by your lies

I don’t think that you understand
This is something that I had to do
Though you’ll miss me you must try to hold on to the memory left behind

Without a care, you left me lying there
Down in the dirt, clawing at the air
I feel nothing, could this be the end?
Sent to battle, now I’m left for dead

Left for dead

Without a care, they were left lying there
Down in the dirt, clawing at the air
We feel nothing as they meet their end
Sent to battle, they were left for dead

Written and arranged by Sorry Hollywood.

SORRY HOLLYWOOD - Left For Dead

Instrumental rough mix for Moment of Solitude.

Moment of Solitude (Rough Mix Instrumental)

Demise

In 2012 we recorded Tragedy Guide. Throughout the years we we lost a member and gained 2 new members. The song has had a bit of changes since the original with the new additions to the band so we decided to re-recorded one of our favorite Cryptic Matter tracks. Here is a rough mix of this song. Final mixing will be done soon. We plan on including it on our new album.

DJ Shadow, widely acknowledged as a crucial figure in the development of experimental, instrumental hip-hop, has returned with ‘The Mountain Will Fall’ via Mass Appeal Records [and Believe Digital in France], his first full length release since 2011. The 12-track album finds DJ Shadow exploring new realms in addition to the deep samples and kinetic soundscapes that helped to launch his career 20 years ago. On ‘The Mountain Will Fall’ he’s shifted further toward original composition, a vast experimentation of beats and textures, synthesizers and live instruments including horns and woodwinds. The album features Run The Jewels, Nils Frahm, Matthew Halsall, Ernie Fresh and more.

"Occasionally, I make a beat that demands a specific vocal treatment and  attitude. In the case of 'Nobody Speak,' I wasn't going to settle for anyone other than Run The Jewels; in my mind, it was them or no one. Fortunately, they  agreed, and they took the track to a place I could never get to on my own. That's the definition of a rewarding collaboration." – DJ Shadow

"Shadow is a legend and a friend. When he makes music he often changes music forever.  When he asked us to jump on the record we didn't blink.” 
– El-P of Run The Jewels 
 
The album is available in all formats with artwork designed by Paul Insect including a gatefold double LP. Order 'The Mountain Will Fall' here: https://DJShadow.lnk.to/TMWFYT

Here is our finished cover version of the theme from Game of Thrones.  Enjoy!  And you can download for FREE!

Original song by Ramin Djawadi

Game Of Thrones Main Theme (cover)

Cryptic Matter is an American alternative metal band from Baltimore, MD, created in 2011. The band was founded by Justin Bidinger (Drums), Devin Greenburg (vocals, guitar), Steve Hung (guitar), and Adam Bidinger (bass). Adam parted ways with the band and shortly thereafter came the additions of John Perry (bass) and Andrea Lauzon (keys).

Cryptic Matter generates its sound from alternative, funk, metal, and international music. Tragedy Guide and Asphexia were inspired by Asian sitars while upcoming Land of Kush in the traditional sounds of flamenco. With band members having roots in various parts of the world (Europe, South America, and Asia) the integration of the culture was pivotal in defining the direction of the band. This blend of influences of music and culture has created the exotic, groovy, and hard hitting music you will hear from Cryptic Matter.
