Krypteria - My Fatal Kiss (Live at Metal Female Voices Fest, 2010)

Metal Female Voices Fest is a Metal festival dedicated to the female singers, existing since 2003. It takes place every year in Belgium, and since a few years at Oktoberhallen in Wieze.

Success of the festival cames from its unique concept, but also from bands' appearances, like EPICA, NIGHTWISH, AFTER FOREVER, TARJA, LEAVES' EYES and many others.

My Fatal Kiss is a studio album by German Symphonic Metal band Krypteria, released on August 28, 2009.

While not a classic concept album it has been observed to deal with ambivalence and man's "inner demons".

On July 17, 2009, the first single, "Ignition", was made available for free download through the official Krypteria website by signing up for their newsletter. A music video then followed for the track "For You I'll Bring The Devil Down."

Drummer S.C. Kuschnerus: "We were able to again turn it up a good notch in terms of the sonic intensity, the overall atmosphere and the emotional depth compared to 'Bloodangel's Cry'. We put all our hearts into the songs on 'My Fatal Kiss'…which I am sure the fans will be able to hear and feel."

The songwriting: "The new album truly is a group effort, since we were really feeding off each other creatively. Therefore the songs perfectly reflect the band's personalities, ideas and our artistic vision," adds bass guitarist Frank Stumvoll.

The recording: "We went to great lengths in order to create a rich and entertaining album. We are now able to offer our fans a piece of music we are immensely proud of," says Chris Siemons, the band's guitarist and producer.

The concept

Singer Ji-In Cho: "Lyrically, 'My Fatal Kiss' is a very personal album. The songs deal with emptiness, desperation, inner demons, the fight between good and evil and really touch on our own struggles. Both the album's artwork and our stage set will follow this theme, too."

The new partners: Following two albums and one EP, KRYPTERIA's contract with their prior record company had run its course. "We are looking back on four great years with EMI. Dirk Ewald and Philippe Koenig have been particularly wonderful to us not only professionally but from a personal standpoint as well. For their efforts and their friendship we owe them our deepest gratitude," the band emphasizes.

Now, teamed up with Onfire and Roadrunner, the next phase in KRYPTERIA's evolution is being launched. Chris Siemons says: "Wolfgang Funk is just the perfect match for this band. His successful track record with artists such as H.I.M., GUANO APES, WITHIN TEMPTATION and OOMPH! speaks for itself. Wolfgang Funk obviously has his finger on the rock community's pulse. Plus, he really impressed us with the tremendous fire and passion of his. So between Onfire and the world's greatest rock label Roadrunner, we feel that the four of us and our music are in the best of hands."

Wolfgang Funk believes in the female-fronted group's abilities: "KRYPTERIA is an act with enormous potential," he says. "We are excited about the band's faith in us, and armed with their latest and strongest album we plan to unleash a huge firestorm and take KRYPTERIA to the next level."

The lyrics:

Before the two of us will take this any further

You've got to tell me if you're ready for a sacrifice, a little death, a little kill, a little murder

And if you do it good I promise I'll be extra nice

Can you handle this?

My fatal kiss, so sweet it is

A taste you'll never want to miss

My fatal kiss, so sweet it is

Here it is, my fatal kiss

The time is right for a little death, for another kill, another murder

Say are you willing, are you able to meet my demands

Are you ready to take me a little further

Or do I have to take matters into my own hands?

Can you handle this?

My fatal kiss, so sweet it is

A taste you'll never want to miss

My fatal kiss, so sweet it is

Here it is, my fatal kiss

Can you handle this, can you handle this...?

My fatal kiss, so sweet it is

A taste you'll never want to miss

My fatal kiss, so sweet it is

Here it is, my fatal kiss, so sweet it is

A taste you'll never want to miss

My fatal kiss, so sweet it is

Here it is, my fatal kiss
