"Brooklyn trio Skryptor embody the belligerent swagger of noise rock through a progged-out lens..."
–Decibel
Decibel has premiered "Raga," the opening track off Skryptor's debut album, Luminous Volumes.
A wild, instrumental ride, inspired in part by Indian classical music, "Raga" sets the tone for the album – a complex reimagining of the soaring sounds of '70s rock, heavy metal, and beyond, brought to you by three heavyweight noise-rock players from Dazzling Killmen, craw, and STATS.

Black Sabbath meets Mahavishnu, by way of AmRep and Touch & Go, in Skryptor's raw-yet-epic compositions. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Skryptor consists of Tim Garrigan (Dazzling Killmen), David McClelland (craw), and Hank Shteamer (STATS). Among other things, the band is a heartwarming tale of a musician getting to collaborate with his heroes. Shteamer was a rabid fan of Dazzling Killmen and craw when he was a mere teenager; he describes those bands as "my Zeppelin and Beatles."
Out March 29th, debut album Luminous Volumes is a joint release between three labels: Skin Graft, Aqualamb, Sleeping Giant Glossolalia. The album was recorded and mixed by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Kelly Moran). Formats are vinyl, CD, digital, and an illustrated, 200-page book featuring original horror stories curated by Skryptor bassist David McClelland.
