Brazil’s much-praised Crypta bringing its powerful take on death metal to San Antonio

Since coming together in 2019 as an offshoot from long-running Brazilian thrash metal act Nervosa, death metal band Crypta has drawn critical praise for a pair of albums that pay homage to the genre’s roots while pushing it in intense new directions. The all-female quartet has also earned respect from metal heavyweights such as Morbid Angel, who invited the group onto its previous U.S. tour, and Tobias Forge of Ghost, who praised Cypta as his favorite up-and-coming band.
