Gravitations: Underground Music Comes to the Surface with Crypticomp Vol. 2
JAMESTOWN, N.Y., June 24, 2011 - If there’s one thing that can be said about Crypticomp Vol. 2, it’s that this isn’t your mom and dad’s music – unless your mom and dad happen to like Mastodon, Slayer, Melvins, or Slayer.
Aimed at music fans who enjoy exploring different songs and sounds associated with metal music, Crypticomp Vol. 2 is an album that certainly achieves its mission of bringing the underground component of metal to the surface. Featuring 24 different tracks from both local and regional artists (and even some from as far away as George, Florida and the United Kingdom), the album provides listeners an eclectic mix of metal, including stoner, doom and sludge sub genres. In addition, there are also some electronic and experimental noise tracks.“It’s pretty much bands from all over,” says George Moore, a Jamestown-based musician and artists who’s spearheading the Crypticomp project. “In the first [Crypticomp album] we had mostly local bands. We do have a few local artists in this one as well, but there’s also bands from Buffalo, Erie, a couple from Florida, and there’s a few U.K. bands on there too. I was talking to Holly Roar Records [United Kingdom] and they were cool enough to let me use some of their bands.”
Assisting with the creation and production of the album was Jamestown native and musician Rob Fiasco. Together with Moore the two comprise the musical duo known as the Cryptic Yeast (Myspace/Facebook).
