Hath the Wizard imbibed a strange poisonous brew, or is it some ancient doer of evil deeds that hath cast a spell upon the Crypt causing the very fabric of this dimension to be torn asunder?! No matter which, we advice all those brave pilgrims who which to visit the Crypt to tread with caution... you wouldn’t want to get sucked into some kind of intergalactic hell portal, would you? ... #cryptofthewizard #metalmakesusstrong
Knight Terror can now count to 4!
The Wizard doth possess a multitude of secrets - some ancient, others merely temporary, just waiting for the right moment to be shared... and now such a moment hath occur’d. An extremely limited number of Sleep’s new 12” ‘Leagues Beneath’ on ULTRA limited blue/green vinyl have surfaced in the Crypt and will go on sale at 11am Friday morning. First cometh, first serve’d.
The Crypt Keepers speak to CVLT Nation...
LAST CHANCE to ensure your copy! Pre-order Sleep's new 12" Leagues Beneath on etched black vinyl... NOW!
Much gratitude goes to these two cool cats for tending to the Crypt whilst the Wizards were off on a quest.
Sleep new 12" Leagues Beneath is now up for pre-order. Available for shipping or in-store pick up. "Leagues Beneath is the first release immediately following Sleep’s long-prophesied, critically-acclaimed opus The Sciences. Recorded as a part of a series of songs for Adult Swim. The song is a testament to what has made The Sciences such a success: bottomless tone, spacetime-melting riffs and a unparalleled aural experience from start to finish. “Leagues Beneath," features the full 17-minute hadal plunge on the A-side, with a tentacled aquanaut nightmare etching on the B-side."
Stream the full Grave Dust MLP over at Decibel Magazine now! Vinyl coming soon from Crypt of the Wizard Records...

After a valiantly fought battle the giant beast name’d Leviathan hath at last been tamed and now resides here in the Crypt... but beware for this grotesque colossus is a many headed hydra, and just when you have wrest with one of its faces another awaits ye!
Attendance to this incredible gig is mandatory! Now with added Dungeon!!!
Weary traveller rest your head for thine journey hath come to an end and the salvation ye seek has at last arrived... Although the path ye took’th was not always an easy one, filled with many a blockade and countless likely larrikins. Misdeeds were many, pain was plentiful, and misery did indeed flow freely until thine cup overflow’th. Many was the occasion upon which death loomed nigh... come’th hath the time to stop bloody moaning, cos at least there is a new Wytch Hazel album out on Bad Omen Records! Hooray!
one of the best metal shop in London. Best vinyls and other products, and employers are amazing.
Yep, this is the place, nothing but metal, and not the Hot Topic kind, either. Open one in Vegas!
Visited the Crypt this morning, great shop!
Visited the Crypt last Friday for the first time. Great store. Being someone who remembers Shades Records in the late 80's/early 90's (and long since closed down), it was awesome to once again go to a shop that sells nothing but Metal. Had Satyricon playing throughout my visit, which was nice. Had a great chat with Marcus (top bloke) and came away with 2 records and 2 shirts (one a Crypt of the Wizard - had to be done). Could have quite easily spent several hundred pounds in there. Will definitely return at some point (I live in Bournemouth, so it's a bit of a journey). And I'll bring more money next time. Thanks again Marcus.
Visited for the first time today and this place is an absolute gold mine. It's got a great selection of records and tapes, friendly and helpful staff and some nice merch too. I will definitely be back to pick up more awesome records.
This shop is incredible. The heaviest range of records along with a genuine personality. Long live Crypt of the Wizard!
Pilgrimage made today. Picked up the new WITTR and a couple of COTW tee designs. Great shop, welcoming atmosphere, good to chat with the owners too, top chaps! Highly recommend you visit soon, I’ll be back! �����
Only had a few minutes to pop in before I had to leave to catch a flight. Those few minutes left me impressed! I'll be back to raise some hell soon. If you're in London, take a trip to the Crypt!
Must visit, from classics to underground gems I'm glad I came by to check it out. Staff was super helpful and nice and the place itself had a nice vibe to it. I live on the other side of the pond but when I come through again I will definitely revisit Crypt of the Wizard! Thanks again
Must visit place. Good to see so many vinyls in one place and not have to flip through pop, dance or other things. Plus little touches like black candle (^_-)
Lovely little shop with a strong selection. Friendly and helpful staff with great recommendation skills! Top vibes!
Incredible selection. About time there was a record shop in London that catered to finer taste. Fantastic and friendly staff. Great coffee. Happy to assist with gig promotion (sticking up a poster, distributing flyers to customers).
All the support.
I'm not a huge metal fan but I went with a friend and I must say this a great shop. There are not many genre dedicated record shops around so to have one run by passionate metallers where you can get unusual stuff is great.
First visit yesterday. Belgian hardcore punk guy behind the counter on his first day. I was his first ever customer! I was most impressed when I said “I want something that sounds like it was recorded in a cave by goblins. In Norway. In the winter.” And without hesitation he pulled exactly that off the racks!
Finally made it to the Crypt all the way from New Zealand!! The staff dude was epicly nice and helpful!! The selection was ace!! Managed to get a copy of Blessed Black Wings by High on Fire and I’m stoked as shit!! For any Metal lover visiting London go and visit and give them all your moneys!!
Fantastic selection of records, great atmosphere and friendly staff who are extremely knowledgeable and give great advice. I’ll be back soon!
Cool shop and a cool guy running it,will be back soon...����
Absolutely refreshing to find a record store dedicated to metal! There’s hope for metalheads in London after all. Now if we only had a proper metal bar/club...
A home for every metalhead. Got the best Goatwhore album of 2009, got the Crypt of the Wizard T-Shirt and had a nice chat with Marcus. Horns up! \m/
