Cryptic Shift | Overspace & Supertime | Album

Released on February 27, 2026, via Metal Blade Records, Overspace & Supertime is the second full-length album from Leeds-based Cryptic Shift. It is a massive 80-minute sci-fi concept album that serves as a direct, parallel-timeline sequel to their 2020 debut, Visitations from Enceladus. The album is a dense fusion of technical thrash, progressive death metal, and avant-garde jazz. Consists of only five tracks, featuring two massive epics exceeding 20 minutes each. Reviewers frequently compare the sound to Atheist, Vektor, Nocturnus, and Cynic, with jazz-fusion nods to Allan Holdsworth and the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
