Tampa, FL – Cryptic Perversions, the debut album by Florida’s death metal force Bloodmessiah, is back and more ferocious than ever. The album’s re-release on November 15, 2024, via CDN Records, features re-recorded tracks with new elements that amplify the album’s raw, brutal energy, marking this as the definitive edition of Cryptic Perversions.

About Bloodmessiah
Founded by renowned drummer and multi-instrumentalist Ronnie Parmer, Bloodmessiah is a powerful homage to classic death metal, invoking the raw energy of legendary bands like Deicide and Morbid Angel. Parmer brings his expertise and technical prowess from a career that includes collaborations with some of the genre’s biggest names—Amon, Malevolent Creation, Brutality, Angelcorpse, Perdition Temple, and Immolation. Parmer fills out the relentless sound of Bloodmessiah, writing and performing all music on the first two albums.
On Cryptic Perversions, Parmer joins forces with Mike Vredeveld (formerly of Tampa’s Catalysis) on vocals, whose aggressive, dark lyrical delivery matches Parmer’s brutal instrumentation.
