Following their latest studio album, Force Of Danger (October 2021, AFM Records), India’s heavy metal act KRYPTOS has announced a double-legged European headline tour, kicking off on August 18, 2022 in Poland!

The band, who formed in 1998 in Bangalore, have long been considered as one of the spearheads of the Indian heavy metal revolution. With six critically acclaimed albums under their belt, they have supported some of metal’s biggest names like Iron Maiden, Testament, Kreator, Exodus, Death Angel and many more, including two appearances at Wacken Open Air and many more prestigious festival stages, earning themselves a reputation as a fiery and exciting live act. Kryptos was the first Indian heavy metal band ever touring Europe.

“It’s time to kick things into high gear! We’re coming out of the blocks for our first ever double-legged European headlining tour that will see us rip through the European heartland, all the way from Poland to Scandinavia and everything in between,” KRYPTOS frontman Nolan Lewis comments. “We can’t wait to rock out with all you metal maniax once again and get wasted with each and every one of you. Dust off those leather jackets and spikes because we’re bringing the fjookin fury!”

Two years since their latest, vicious Afterburner– album, India’s heavy metal force KRYPTOS return to invoke the ultimate sound of denim and leather with the release of their sixth studio album! Force Of Danger will be out on October 1, 2021 via metal powerhouse AFM Records.

The band, who formed in 1998 in Bangalore, have long been considered as one of the spearheads of the Indian heavy metal revolution.

After previously- released singles, the crushing album title track and just recently “Raging Steel” (listen HERE!), today the band shared another blistering appetizer for their upcoming album!

“It’s time to burn rubber! City lights and neon nights is the name of the game, so get into cruise control and blaze through the streets with “Hot Wired” – the third single off Force of Danger,” KRYPTOS frontman Nolan Lewis comments.

“Check out the scorching new Kryptos video for “Hot Wired” that brings back killer memories from when we were ripping it up on the road in Europe and burning through the countryside spreading righteous heavy metal in our wake. Nothing beats touring and partying with all you amazing headbangers, so this goes out to metalheads everywhere – keep the fire burning!”
