Cryptic Scorn is psyched up to bring their hellish brand of old-school metal to a new set of fans. Don’t miss out on a chance to see one of their explosive stage performances at The Factory Theatre on the 18th for the Emergenza semi-finals. In a pre-show interview with the band, they let us is on what they’re looking forward to most about the upcoming gig.

FOR THOSE WHO DIDN’T GET TO SEE YOU IN THE FIRST ROUND, CAN YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT THE MUSIC OF CRYPTIC SCORN?
Cryptic scorn is stuck in the old school metal frame. Shredding axes, bass so heavy it could cause an earthquake, blistering drums and vokills straight out of hell. We play hard and fast with no remorse.

WHAT’S A LIVE CRYPTIC SCORN SHOW LIKE?
Loud, obnoxious, interactive, always different, and above all full of SCORN.

WHAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE FIRST ROUND FOR YOU?
WINNING! and seeing so many of our fans at the show chanting “Cryptic Scorn”!

CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE FIRST ROUND AND WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM IT?
Our fans RULE! It was a good sound and a good chance to make the Lair FEEL THE SCORN.

SO HOW DOES IT FEEL BEING ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE EMERGENZA FINALS?
We are stoked and want to rip this show up to get to The Metro.

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO BETWEEN GIGS AND WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT PHASE OF THE COMPETITION?
Annihilating our livers, smashing out some new tunes... and did I mention ruining our livers?

HOW ARE YOU PLANNING TO PROMOTE FOR YOUR UPCOMING GIG?
By annoying everyone we know with daily updates, badgering and downright rudeness.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOST ABOUT THIS ROUND IN THE SEMI-FINALS?
Playing The Factory, a venue most up and coming bands don’t get to play… and a new stage to destroy.
