With The Line Up Of Mark Kelson O'Neil Alexander Drums Geoff Kloprogge Vocals Guitar And Jade Von Nagy Bass The Band Released A Four Track Single Descend Into Thy Grave And Shortly Thereafter The Debut Album Endless Tears Which Has Recently Been Re-Released For International Distribution. An Opening Slot At The 1997 Metal For The Brain Festival Raised Awareness Of The Band Somewhat And Much Of 1998 Was Spent Working On New Material. Former Paramaecium Guitarist Chris Burton Replaced Kloprogge In 1997 And After Some Time As A Temporary Member Luke Wong Finally Joined As Full Time Bassist Mid-1998. Around The Same Time The Band Started Working With Ex-My Dying Bride Keyboards Player Martin Powell Who Came To Australia To Join The Band And Record "They Whispered You Had Risen Which Displays A More Gothic Character Than Earlier Work. Cryptal Darkness Had Plans To Tour Europe In Late 2000 But This Seems To Have Not Occurred.
