- 'The Mask of Anubis' is the first single from the new Kryptos album 'The Coils of Apollyon'. Worldwide release September 21st 2012 through AFM Records Germany. India release Feb 18th 2012
In traditional Egyptian lore Anubis, who bears the head of a dog/jackal and body of a man, is referred to as the god of embalment whose main role is to prepare the souls of the dead for procession into the netherworld. Anubis is usually known as the offspring of Osiris (god of the underworld) and Nephthys. There is also a belief that Osiris was in love with Isis but Nephthys disguised herself as Isis and seduced Osiris, which in turn led to the birth of Anubis.
The Mask of Anubis is based on a certain twist to the Anubis legend of Egyptian mythology. According to the song Nephthys gives birth to Anubis after an affair with Herrut, the serpent god. Her main motive is to gain revenge on Osiris who had spurned her initial advances due to his infatuation with Isis.
Nephthys and Anubis seek the aid of Set (god of darkness and Osiris' brother and sworn enemy) and Thoth (the god of knowledge and magic). Nephthys devises a plan to overthrow Osiris and make Anubis the undisputed god of the underworld. In order to do that they must seek the mask of plagues, which lies in a plane of reality that can only be accessed through a vortex beneath the Nile. Once they attain this mask they perform magick rituals at a sacred site, which gives Anubis immortality and unlimited power over life and death. To Osiris' horror he is captured and sacrificed to Set while Anubis takes his place as the undisputed god of the underworld.
The Mask of Anubis - Lyrics
-----------------------------------------
Into the depths we go
Across the astral planes
The winds of Khet blow foul
Beneath the cloak of night
Into the womb of the Nile
The blackened heart of the damned
The scarab's eyes glow black
With shades of death
Hail! O sorceress, dark mistress of Set
Bathe my soul in unholy light
Master of the spheres
Keeper of the spells
I am Anubis, The jackal head
Into the spectral void
The spiral halls of the dead
Within this sepulchure
The mask of plagues
Hail! O temptress, vile minion of Thoth
Sear my soul with infernal fire
Monarch of the ages
Guardian of the wells
I am Anubis, the jackal head.
Burn Osiris! God of the Dead
Hail Anubis! The Serpent flesh
Into the moonlit spires
Of ancient ruins past
The shifting sands of time
Bring a ritual sacrifice
Hail Nephthys! Witch mother on high
Praise Herrut! Viperian liege
Patron of the sinners
Defiler of the saints
I am Anubis, Immortal death
Into the depths we go
Across the astral planes
The winds of Khet blow foul
Beneath the cloak of night
Into the womb of the Nile
The blackened heart of the damned
The scarab's eyes glow black
With shades of death
Hail! O sorceress, dark mistress of Set
Bathe my soul in unholy light
Master of the spheres
Keeper of the spells
I am Anubis, The jackal head
Into the spectral void
The spiral halls of the dead
Within this sepulchure
The mask of plagues
Hail! O temptress, vile minion of Thoth
Sear my soul with infernal fire
Monarch of the ages
Guardian of the wells
I am Anubis, the jackal head.
Burn Osiris! God of the Dead
Hail Anubis! The Serpent flesh
Into the moonlit spires
Of ancient ruins past
The shifting sands of time
Bring a ritual sacrifice
Hail Nephthys! Witch mother on high
Praise Herrut! Viperian liege
Patron of the sinners
Defiler of the saints
I am Anubis, Immortal death
I really feel proud about our Indian metal band Krptos \m/
Ingersoll Alagarswamy all of yous people are awesome , l love Indian food , chicken masala, and more, and the gold 24 karat I wear it , and the clothes ,
@@maryjhonson2724 Thank you so much for trying out our culture, I hope you are doing well.
That's some old school metal right there.
Reminds me a little of Judas Priest.
yep i agree!
JP worship on speed
I had the pleasure of talking to the lead singer Nolan and he does say that Priest really shaped the way Kryptos made their music. You can say it's one of his favourite bands. Really chill guy who you could definitely share a few beers with 🍻
Judas priest never sounded like them. Kryptos sound more like Megadeth
Excellent. 1:52 to 2:22 = GENIUS. I remember hanging out with you guys once in the late 90's. Guess we've come a long way now. You guys are awesome. Cheers!
Being from North east india and a die hard fan of Judas priest i fucking love this Indian band bringing back old skool metal...
Fak! How awesome is this! Love everything Krytos is through the ages.
Demonic Resurrection, Bhayanak Maut, Krptos...our country is really doing an impressive work in Metal. \m/

Kryptos all the way that’s some old school heavy metal love this band 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥
Nolan has been possessed. Brilliant!!
Kryptos have their own style. Have you seen the pic with Bruce Dickinson wearing Kryptos T-shirt for a photo shoot of Flight 666? Also, this album won the Best Metal Album of the year. Sounding like your fav band is not the same as copying riff-to-riff of your fav band's songs.
Wow ! Thnks for the info
best metal album of the year?? source?
EVERY NOTES MADE ME GOOSEBUMPS.LYRICALLY MUSICALLY,THE BEST OF THE BEST HEAVY METAL SONG THAT I EVER HEARD.LONG LIVE" KRYPTOS"
Bloody Fantastic!!!
Badass. Horns up. \m/
Great song! I hope you guys try to keep 'the cause' of heavy metal alive in your country India! Good luck with your career, and if you guys ever come to Holland, I'll be in the front row!
AAAAAAAARRGHH. CAN'T STOP HEADBANGING!!! THIS IS SICK \m/,
I feel the riffs are a sweet extension from Spiral Ascent...awesome...
I think Rammstein got their inspiration for their song Deutschland from this song 😅
I was just listening to Deutschland and I thought the same thing. They totally ripped it off!! Happy to see this comment :D
Rammstein ist boring compared to Kryptos, Indian Metal gods!
Indeed very similar beginning,very accurate comment
Agreed...Kryptos are awesome 🤘
Deutschland is a different genre
Dhaamaaakaaaaaaa!!!! Superb guys, look fwd to your new album!
By far, best Indian metal song I have heard till date!
100% pure old school heavy metal. Fucking awesome!
Kryptos Rules!
Till I get my copy of this album, I come here daily and listen to this song for 9-10 times.
This lead vocalist, guitarist, and lyricist has had his share of occult studies and demonology. The lyrics are inspired seemingly from Book of Thoth by crowley. They're glorifying egyptian gods
From which institution bro?
From which institution bro ? (2)
No doubt in my mind that these guys are one of the finest bands that india has ever produced and yeah! these are from my hometown bangalore :D
"The Coils Of Apollyon" is even better than this song, such impressive thrashing if you ask me. That instrumental at around 2min mark is a pure headbanging orgy. This is a fucking good album guys, can't wait to get the review online.
U made India Proud Kryptos Love you :)
Kryptos, true inspiration to all the newbies out there.
This is probably one of your best songs ever.. Looking forward to moshing to this..Cheers!

Gay
😍
Blue420Jay indeed!!!
Maiden is one of their main influences along with Kreator and Priest... \m/
Insane song. But one question - does Nolan have the ability to do regular, melodic vocals as opposed to the partly guttural vocals that are featured on the first two albums akin to the proto-Death Metal vocals seen in early Kreator/Sodom; and the somewhat exaggerated, yet tune-less vocals which stress the words rather than focus on a tune, like the type that features in the latest album?
Nolan is like nolan gurer shondesh
som muito foda!
Wow!!! Frickin Metal \m/
Best...Band...EVER
Wow.. Hell yeah from Nagaland \m/
Fucking brilliant! I smell ACCEPT Strongly.
you guys are pretty good
Best Indian band ever!
unbelievable .. incredible.... rock on masters
When are you releasing a song on Djoser who also known by his Hellenized names Tosorthros and Sesorthos ? His Southern Tomb was opened for tourists today and I could not resist listening to this masterpiece after reading news.
coming soon
It kind of reminds me of early Bathory. Even the art! I wonder if it was intentional...
New Rammstein song Deutschland sounds so much like this song.
Ok so I'm not the only one to think that 😅
@@TheMihirj right? Somebody need to tag Kryptos and let em know although I'm pretty sure they woildnt give a fuck.
@@mahamrityumjay Just after listening the song, I texted Nolan Lewis on Instagram, he said he'll check, but apparently he's on tour so bit busy, i suggest you to do the same!
old school jigsaw

A little late to the party but this track just blew my mind. fuuuuuck yeah Kryptos👆👆👍👍👌👌

Looks like I know from where RAMMSTEIN got the idea for their new song DEUTSCHLAND
