Cryptik Howling reflects our society’s concepts, their music and poetry represents this with stories about human behaviours and emotions. Sometimes in the skin of their main characters, sometimes simply themselves and a bit screwed, their music is influenced from horror and everything about mental instability in our epoch. Sometimes they denounce immoral behaviours sometimes they encourages them, yet always to lose oneself in its perception of good and evil.
