Founded by Xander Bradley and Ryan Sheperson, and later joined by John Riley and Joss Farrington, Cryptic Shift have become a continual leading force in the next generation of extreme music. 2016′s EP, Beyond the Celestial Realms, and 2017′s single, “Cosmic Dreams”, built anticipation for Cryptic Shift‘s debut full-length record, Visitations from Enceladus – one of the highest critically acclaimed debut releases of the last decade. Showcasing Cryptic Shift‘s unique take on progressive and technical death/thrash metal and sci-fi themes, Visitations from Enceladus takes listeners beyond the limits of planet Earth musically and conceptually – the first episode of perhaps the greatest musical sci-fi adventure of all time…

Now, after having signed with Metal Blade Records, Cryptic Shift are working towards building on their previously established phenomenal die-mensionominal Astrodeath, following on from the themes and concepts found on their debut record, Visitations from Enceladus.

Cryptic Shift line-up:
Xander Bradley – Vocals & Guitars
Joss Farrington – Guitars
Ryan Sheperson – Drums
