KRYPTERIA is a German-Korean four piece, fronted by leadsinger Ji-In, a stunningly talented and breathtaking beauty 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.

This unique blend of music is featured in all its forcefulness on their new album “Bloodangel’s Cry” which has seen the light of day on January 19th, 2007.

On this sixty minute journey across the rock, gothic and metal landscape twelve original songs will mercilessly capture you, ranging from the explosive uptempo neckbreaking variety (All systems go / Scream / I can’t breath) over reckless grinders (Time to bring the pain / Out of tears) to sparkling melodic jewels (Somebody save me / The night all angels cry), all capped by gloomy yet captivating 10-minute-tour de force “At the gates of retribution".

The foursome obviously are at the top of their game and enjoying themselves as they put together a remarkable collection of irresistable ear candy refined with clever arrangements and multi-faceted vocal performances and molded by a hunger that’s apparent from tracks 1 through 12.

But who are KRYPTERIA ?

After teaming up in 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 surprisingly energetic and entertaining live performance that will rock your socks off.

Bewitching Ji-In, guitar-ace/multi-platinum decorated producer Chris, and the thunderous grooves of human dynamo Frank on bass and showboating drummer deluxe Kuschi 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 last year the band has been writing and recording their upcoming album "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 early February.

After filming their spectacular video for ‘Somebody save me’ on the Baltic Coast, now it’s time for KRYPTERIA to launch the next chapter in their international endeavours:

Before the summer of 2007 the album will have hit stores in the USA, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and Mexico with other countries around the globe already set to follow.

So ready, willing, hungry and dangerous the eclectic foursome will hit stages all over the world full-throttle in 2007 - to further introduce themselves and to present the explosive array of new tracks off “Bloodangel’s Cry”:

That's when Ji-In will again paint sensually on the canvas of emotion, while six-stringer Chris, bassist Frank and drummer Kuschi will work their rears off to rock the living daylight out of their audiences.

KRYPTERIA are passionate about their music and will leave no stone unturned when it comes to exploiting all of their creative resources in order to win over music aficionados everywhere.

Therefore they pledge to tackle their 2007 live endeavours with a full head of steam and an alligator smile: So how about letting yourself be entertained, shaken and stirred by the German-Korean foursome ?
