CRYPTICUS "THEY CALLED ME MAD" OUT NOW ON RAZORBACK!

The moonlight shines into the secret shafts & awakens The CRYPTICUS once more! After 3 years sequestered in the unholy secrecy of the Filth Chamber, Patrick Bruss has unearthed the dreaded sequel to his first album... A supernatural symphony of sickness, madness & obsession whose title must serve as a warning to all mankind:
"THEY CALLED ME MAD"!


12 new tales of terror designed to delight the insane! Banned by the P.M.R.C. & protested by Colorado Mental Health officials, only RAZORBACK RECORDINGS has been brave enough to tempt the Horrors From Beyond by unleashing this degenerate masterpiece upon an unsuspecting public! Imagine Edgar Allan Poe & H.P. Lovecraft locked in a haunted house while jamming early DISMEMBER, DEMIGOD, ABHORRENCE(Fin), DEMILICH, GRAVE, etc.!
