If you like what you hear, expect more ferocious vocals, more hard-hitting drums, more modems & telephones, and a hell lot of industrial noize!

Now to the song concept.
Do you recognize the voice of the opening sample? A vicious man that was ousted by his own! Manipulation is always followed by tribulation.

In “This Odometer Sydnrome” we start off with a speech by Zee Man who cannot Schpeak Zenglish himself, to then put him in a corner as we introduce the line “Stay calm and listen to Sceptocrypt”.
Moving on, we look at nowadays’ society being so tech-dependent, as we reflect on all the wrongs that could occur if we forget the human touch.

Lyrics penned back in 1999 by ex-vocalist Conrad Borg and current guitarist Malcolm Callus, it has been revisited by Malcolm & Pawel in 2025.

When all is said and done, stay calm and listen to Sceptocrypt!
