Gypsys Lullaby Traps in a maze, zoran stands right by the clearing smiles with a wicked sort of sight and mr. coal warms his cave for mrs. poormouth blistering heat kissed my eyes Ohoo lost in a mirror say what do you see reflections of different ghosts from the past and I feel how they try to take part of me Souls behind the evening sun weeping songs for my afterbirth and all the mermaids disarming the sea zorants there building landscapes for my longings breaking the bounds in my mind Ohoo lost in a mirror say what do you see reflections of different ghosts from the past and I feel how they try to take part of me

Leviathan 02:48
LEVIATHAN if you think, she comes near, pull the rope and disappear bursting waves, deadly gaze, racks of peel sticks in her scales she disdained all divine ruler of the tides would you dare, to catch her teeth the least attempt will make you bleed but the blade glared her eyes through the lane in the sky and her sight was paralyzed droves of hits break the dark crown bloody sand graces the bay she disdained all divine ruler of the tides droves of hits break the dark crown bloody sand graces the bay

about

- Have the inexhaustible will to accomplish something which inspires, impresses and deeply
affects people -

This was and still is the intention of the band Cryptex whose members came together to make the first creative and organizational steps for their mammoth project “Good morning, how did you live?” This album was produced with great devotion, lots of attention to detail and a fair amount of smiling madness. Songs in which romantics, dreamers, hopeless melancholics, party people, lovers, angry or dolorous people, outsiders, rebels, but also unspectacular “nine to five jobbers” get carried away and travel through realms which we call progressive folk rock. The song structures convince by great hook lines, anthem-like choruses, a high stylistic band width, exciting and memorable moments which have a high potential of becoming catchy tunes.

The arrangements, lyrics and the instrumentation established an inventively bounding symbiosis with the different genres, whereby from our point of view a generation overlapping musical artwork was created.

From ragtime, blues, gospel, prog-art, brute and furious compositions up to ballad-like, pop and modern songs, “Good morning, how did you live?” offers everything a music fan loves. Producing an album is nothing special for a young band in the present time, but the real art form of an album musician to look after and support the creativity as his own child, is threatened with extinction. This debut album of the band Cryptex, however, follows this creeds.
