Crypta is a Brazilian female Death Metal band, recognized worldwide. It was founded in 2019 by Fernanda Lira (bass and vocals) and Luana Dametto (drums). Currently, Crypta continues as a trio, with guest guitarists (on second guitar) for tours. Alongside guitarist Tainá Bergamaschi, invited to join the band in 2020, Crypta consolidated its line-up and released, in 2021, the acclaimed debut album "Echoes of the Soul", released by the Austrian label Napalm Records. The album reached relevant positions in international charts, such as Germany and Switzerland, and drew attention for its sound and visual work - with production by names such as Arthur Rizk, Jens Bogren and cover art by Wes Benscoter. The second album, "Shades of Sorrow", released in 2023, reaffirmed the band's prominence on the global scene. In addition to entering significant charts in the United States, Europe and Latin America, the album was among the 50 best albums of 2023, according to the São Paulo Association of Art Critics (APCA). With the album, Crypta also debuted on the US Billboard, something rarely achieved by Brazilian metal bands. The band was on 7 charts in the US, 6 in Canada, 2 in England, and also in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Having played at major festivals such as Wacken Open Air (Germany), Rock in Rio (Brazil), Bloodstock (England) and Primavera Sound (Brazil), and toured and performed alongside legends such as Morbid Angel, Carcass, Behemoth, Ghost, Arch Enemy and Hatebreed, the band has performed in dozens of countries in the Americas and Europe. In 2025, the band will continue on the road with new tours already confirmed in Latin America, Europe, the United States, Canada and Brazil, while preparing their third album, scheduled for 2026.
