Cryptodira have signed with Good Fight Music and have announced a November 17th release for their new album, “The Devil’s Despair“. Pre-orders for that are live now at this location. The band’s drummer Matthew Taibi said of the outing:
“Much of ‘The Devil’s Despair‘ deals with the themes of dehumanizing social forces; forces which come from human activity and yet become confused for rigid, natural laws. In ‘Medusa Misgendered,’ the trend being criticized specifically is the objectification of femininity under the gaze of masculinity, reversing the myth of Medusa as the title suggests.
Even for the side that benefits from reification, there is still an unnecessary loss of substance and they themselves become a reflection of the very world they’ve frozen. This hits on the larger theme captured by the artwork, where the Devil himself becomes a victim of the demonic force of dehumanization which originally emanated from him.”
“Medusa Misgendered” from the effort can be found below. You can also catch the group on the road with The Number Twelve Looks Like You and Rolo Tomassi this fall, get those dates here.
