Cryptic Ruse Portland, Oregon
Cryptic Ruse is the one-person experimental metal project of nonbinary transfem microtonalist Deja
Igliashon.
Each album emphasizes a different constellation of influences, ranging from doom metal sludge to mathy progressive metal. A wide variety of microtonal tunings are employed on every album but Sierpinski's Casket, which is all in 12-tone equal temperament.

If you like "ASMR" and "Wasting & Thirsting", this album of dark ambient music may be to your liking. It's also very microtonal.

Always love musick and art coming out of Brattleboro VT but this really spun my head around, love the crazy atonal indie folk vibes! Bought a CD, can’t wait to hear it on my car speakers!

More cathartic, atmospheric heaviness from the German doom metallers, balancing no-nonsense hooks with proggy flourishes.
