So, would you believe it. Today we return to the world of metal on A Year In Horror. Yes! Welcome to the mad minds of UK progressive thrash metal fright fiends Cryptic Shift. Their latest album is entitled ''Overspace And Supertime' and it comes out on February 27th on Metal Blade Records. This is what it's all about. Today we speak with vocalist and guitarist player Xander Bradley about the band, his history with horror and of course the sci-fi horror belter, Pitch Black.
