Crypticus was formed by guitarist/vocalist Patrick Bruss in the winter of 1996 as crude & barbaric Death/Grind. This period yielded the "Enter the Zombie" & "The Riddle of Blood & Steel" demos, both recorded on home stereo equipment. Summer of 2000 saw the release of the "Ghost Infected Flesh" tape in extremely limited quantity. In 2002 the "Unholy Secrecies" demo was released, which saw the band's sound becoming influenced by bands like Dismember & Necrony.
