Criptofonia is a heavy/thrash metal band from Ezpeleta (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina). The history of the band begins when emiliano perez (guitar), gonzalo gayoso (drums) and leonardo magallanes (bass) met together with the idea of forming a band. Riffs that were part of the first songs slowly began to emerge aiming at thrash metal and mostly influenced by the old school.

Criptofonia was inspired by bands like Metallica, Slayer, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Megadeth and others.

After a long time rehearsals, the group posted advertisements on sreets and music shops looking for a singer and guitarist. A few months later Fabo Pavic joint the band. He immediately began to make contributions to the already existing compositions.

Criptofonia is a band that seeks to leave his footprint on heavy metal's way with the premise of making their own music with a particular style.

In 2007 the band produced "Factor de la Destruccion" (Destruction Factor), a two song demo which was free distributed at band's concerts.

The group was support band of bands like Horcas, Tren Loco, Mad and so on.

In 2008 Criptofonia recorded it's first studio EP "Sinfonia de la Cripta" (Symphony from the Crypt), which can be obtained in music shops and at band's concerts.

Actually the band is about to release the english version of "Sinfonia de la Cripta".
