It's a New Year so it's a time for summary!
No doubt we are done with an important phase which can be described as a "come back". Doing it was like a moving an old, rusty machine. Today this machine called CRYPTIC TALES is slowly moving forwards. 2009 brought many surprises to us. Our latest album "VII Dogmata Of Mercy" was reissued outside Poland by CRASH MUSIC (USA). Then our older albums "Valley Of The Dolls" and "Anathema" were reissued on CD's by Psycho Records and Redrum 666 respectively. We played our first concerts. We played a role of a supporting act for SAMAEL.
Simply speaking we are back and we are part of the metal stage. Now we
head out towards new goals, namely coposing new album. We are currently working on it and we will inform you about our progress.
We would like to thank all those who supported us, those who remember us from 90's and our new fans as well.
Big cheers!
Our web page was updated recently so you can find all the interviews, reviews and materials about the band. We have a new section called PRESS.
Check it out
All the best
Peter! |

We played a few more concerts in Lublin, Rzeszow and Katowice (Poland). We enjoyed the way the fans reacted to our performance and we'd like to thank for your support! We eard people shouting CRYPTIC TALES! once again and in some cities we were made to play extra songs because the crowd demanded it. IT WAS GREAT! BIG CHEERS!
We reached our goal. We wanted to feel good on stage after our come back, and after playing those concerts we are ready for bigger challenges.
We would also like to thank Extreme Night Booking Agency, who organized all those gigs. You rock! See you on next concerts

AFTER FIRST SHOWS
We are after a series of gigs that we played to grab the smell of the
arena once again. These were the first gigs after the lears of break and
they were very important for us. Thanks to these short tours we gained
experience to make our concerts better. We needed it, and it was great!!!
We had many wonderful moments and we met a lot of amazing people from Poland, Czech Republic and Germany, and most important played in a new line-up. After many years we heard the crowd shouting CRYPTIC TALES! and what really shocked us singing the lyrics with us. We were glad to see our older fans who supported us during some gigs. We would also like to thanks our "younger" fans who got to know us sincs the release of "VII Dogmata of Mercy".
Call it as you want, we are back on stage.
Thanks for support.
