Argonauta Records has set October 31st as the international release date for the album »No Return« by Italian psychedelic doom rockers Cripta Blue. The album will be available digitally worldwide.

“With the previous single »No Return«, we’ve only begun to reveal the beating heart of our music. The album is a journey that transcends technique or style, reaching straight for the purest emotions. We opted for a stripped-down production to keep the sound raw and authentic, free from filters or embellishments, capturing the same intensity and spontaneity with which each track was born. »Edge Of Instinct« delves into the lunar allure, that fine line between madness and instinct ignited by the full moon, weaving darkness with flashes of light in a one-of-a-kind nocturnal journey.” says the band.

Today, the band also released a new single, »Edge Of Instinct«, which is now streaming on Argonauta Records’ official YouTube channel.

Cripta Blue, hailing from the historic city of Ravenna, is a powerhouse trio blending rock with psychedelic influences and proto-doom vibes reminiscent of the late 60s. Their evocative sound has made them a standout in the underground rock scene.

Formed in 2019, Cripta Blue emerged from the shared passion of three musicians. The lineup includes Alessandro Melandri on bass and lead vocals, Federico Bocchini on electric and acoustic guitars, and Silvio Della Valle on drums. Their collective synergy and diverse musical backgrounds have created a unique and evolving sound that bridges various genres.

Cripta Blue’s music is a rich tapestry of rock infused with psychedelic undertones and heavy, doom-laden riffs. Over time, their sound has evolved significantly, culminating in their latest EP which consolidates these diverse influences.

Looking ahead, Cripta Blue is gearing up for an exciting period. Their highly anticipated second album is set for release in the fall of October 2024 via Argonauta Records. In the lead-up to this major release, listeners can expect two singles that will offer a glimpse into the evolving sound and direction of the band.

Cripta Blue is:
Federico Bocchini – Guitar & Producer
Alessandro “Zinah” Melandri – Bass & Lead Vocals
Silvio Dalla Valle – Drums
