At the same time, the band recorded 2 songs in another studio for the
comp-CD ´frykenrock which contains only local bands from Sweden.
It turned out very well and they started to practice and write new songs for a new demo.
In June -96, they went to studio Abyss to record their third demo, Sects of Doom.
This was the first time the band entered a "big" studio and for the first time, they
were pleased with the sound, heavy and brutal. "Several reviews praised the sound."
This time, instead of sending the demo only to record labels,
they sent the demo to zines and mags all around the world.
They received many good reviews from Singapore, France,
Germany, Belgium, USA a.s.o. They also received several inquiries
about compilation-CD´s and one was from Black Mark.
From the demo ´Sects of Doom` they took the song Genocide and
Black Mark´s comp-CD ´Out of the Box` was a fact.
Mental Crypt was one of the bands which received best response
around the world so in November -97, the band went to a studio
to record their first CD, on label Black Mark.
The record ´Extreme Unction` contains 8 songs and has received
very good response so far.

They have recorded a CD promo, Ground Zero, at their own studio,
HairyBones Studio. It contains 3 new songs.
With this CD promo, they want to find a new record label.
Mental Crypt is a live band and wants to play live as much as they can
but to have the chance to hit the road, they need a record company behind them.
The band has Sound Swing behind them, a booking company and so far they have
been playing in Sweden with bands like:
Morgana Lefay, LOK, Vomitory, Gehenna, Godgory, Human rage, Dawn of Decay
Pandemonium
Mental Crypt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Killer without cause, dead bodies on the street
Massive mental breakdown, there's no place to hide
Awakening of the sleeping dragon deep inside
Just another slayer, random victims fell
Now they are in heaven, we are still in hell
Killing evil hate...
Slaughter in cold blood, senseless multicide
Horrid wrath ignition exploding in your face
Uncontrolled aggression which leaves a bloody trace
Just another slayer, random victims fell
Now they are in heaven, we are still in hell
Killing evil hate...
Blood, hate, death
Life, love, lost
Nothing is sacred for the mad
No bounds for atrocities
No repentance, no regrets
No emotions in dead souls
No compassion, just contempt
Mesmerized by violence, distorted evil minds
Nobody is safe, fury strikes blind
Facing a machine gun, see the empty eyes
No, there is no reason, but now you're gonna die
Just another slayer, random victims fell
Now they are in heaven, we are still in hell
Killing evil hate...
The lyrics of Mental Crypt's song Pandemonium paint a picture of a state of chaos and disorder where a soldier that was trained by the army goes on a killing spree without any cause whatsoever. The song describes a mental breakdown, the awakening of the dragon deep within, an uncontrolled aggression that leads to a bloody trace, and nothing fully sacred for the mad. The lyrics describe the killer as a "Just another slayer, and their victims are "random" and "fall".
The song also highlights the brutality and horror of the killings of the "Avengers" who are on the prowl with automatic fire leading to a "senseless multicide". It further goes on to say that there is no repentance, no emotions, no compassion, and only contempt in the dead souls. The violence becomes so mesmerizing that the fury strikes blind, and even the chance to look into the eyes of the killer, one can only see emptiness.
In conclusion, Mental Crypt's song Pandemonium is a portrayal of a state of pandemonium characterized by anarchy, disharmony, and the collapse of the social order. The song shows the danger of uncontrolled aggression and the impact of violence on society. It also portrays the killer as mentally ill and lacking any empathy towards the victims' lives. The message of the song remains that violence has no place in society and that we must strive to promote peace and harmony.
