Finland’s Cryptic Hatred perform ferocious, unpretentious death metal channeling the spirit of the early 1990s underground. The band came together in 2019 when Jami, Tatu, Eemil and Miska met in school. In 2020, they settled on the name Cryptic Hatred and self-recorded and released the 8-song “Free from the Grave” demo digitally in June of that year. In August, the demo was released on cassette in North America and the UK. That same month, they performed their debut gig at the Helsinki Deathfest.
