THE CRYPT Set to Ignite Athens: Exclusive Greek Debut at Rock Hard Festival Greece

We are very proud to welcome THE CRYPT to perform in Greece for the very first time at Rock Hard Festival Greece.

One of the breakout albums of 2024 was the self-titled debut album from Stockholm, Sweden based THE CRYPT. With their captivating mix of doom metal and classic heavy metal with big choruses, they won both audience as well as critics acclaim worldwide. The album, entirely penned by Leif Edling of Candlemass and produced by Marcus Jidell (Soen, Avatarium, Candlemass etc,) instantly went to the top of the critics charts at native magazine Sweden Rock, as well as several international magazines and showed up on numerous “album of the year” charts around the globe.

Based around the charismatic and enigmatic Metal Priestess, embodied by vocalist Pepper who’s on-stage presence quickly became a talking point, with her background both in heavy metal and the world of burlesque. Festival audiences in Sweden and Germany have testified to her strong presence, and, backed by guitarist Dave McKenzie, drummer Danne McKenzie, keyboardist Floke and bassist Rigor Mortimer, they pack a serious punch on stage.

Following the release of ‘The Crypt’, the band went out to play both local gigs as well as festivals, before heading back to the studio to get more songs recorded. Once again working with Leif Edling, they released what would be the theme song of online game ‘Rock Kommander’, featuring guest vocals from none other than the legendary Dee Snider of Twisted Sister fame. With a prominent placing in the game, Pepper’s personality is one of the key player personalities.

There is no doubt it will be one hot night in Athens when THE CRYPT enter the stage.
