Paintstroke

Tucked away since early 2020, Paintstroke was completed and held from release until the band was able to continue touring again. This pandemic-hidden platter marks growth in sound, structure and style since it's' predecessors. While not straying too far from their roots, the group takes their sound to the next level. The band's catchy, melodic, yet sometimes dark signature shines through in new setlist staples such as "Inchworm," "29 Years" or "Sentinel". The alchemy continues with their first ever ambient instrumental interlude track "Between The Tides." In The Cryptics timeline Paintstroke serves as a crucial stepping stone connecting what came before with what lies ahead.
