The brood creeps on! Following the devastating first wave of shows earlier this year, Lycanthropic Chants presents the CRYPTIC BROOD – “Creeping Cryptic Contagion” tour: a descent into rotting flesh and radioactive nightmares. The band will flood stages of Western Europe with their own toxic blend of death metal, grind and doom, straight from the decaying heart of their latest album “Necrotic Flesh Bacteria”.

Keep away! The brood crawls out of its thermonuclear contaminated tomb and getting your hands on their new full-length effort turns your flesh into a foul stinking and dripping mass of rotting decay. They extended their unique formular for how to collar the drill to lobotomize you and present themselves on their third album “Necrotic Flesh Bacteria” in their best shape to date. Taking the spread of musical influences of CRYPTIC BROOD to a new level, this Wolfsburg/Germany based trio proves, that even after more than ten years of existence in a constant line-up, there’s still a lot of toxic sludge circulating in their veins to infect you with rotten metal of death!
