Crypta’s “The Other Side of Anger” Hits 1 Billion Views on YouTube, Enters Platform’s Most-Viewed Hall of Fame

In a stunning milestone for both metal music and digital media, Brazilian death metal band Crypta has shattered expectations with their track “The Other Side of Anger” reaching 1 billion views on YouTube. This remarkable achievement marks one of the few times an extreme metal song has broken into the platform’s most-viewed elite, placing Crypta in a rarefied league typically dominated by pop and mainstream artists.

Released in 2023 as part of their acclaimed album Shades of Sorrow, “The Other Side of Anger” quickly became a fan favorite thanks to its blistering riffs, aggressive rhythm, and hauntingly melodic interludes. The video, known for its visceral imagery and powerful performance shots, steadily gained momentum over time, fueled by a loyal global fanbase and viral circulation among music communities.

Crypta—comprised of Fernanda Lira (bass and vocals), Luana Dametto (drums), Tainá Bergamaschi (guitar), and Jéssica di Falchi (guitar)—has been hailed for bringing a fresh and fierce energy to modern death metal. Their sound, combining technical precision with emotionally-charged lyrics, struck a chord with both metalheads and casual listeners alike.

“We never imagined a billion views when we wrote this song,” said frontwoman Fernanda Lira in a recent interview. “It’s a surreal moment for us—not just as musicians, but as women in metal. This shows the world that heavy music, especially made by women, can break every barrier.”

Industry analysts have called the achievement groundbreaking, noting that very few metal bands—let alone extreme metal acts—have ever approached the billion-view mark. The success of “The Other Side of Anger” signals a growing global appetite for heavier sounds, while also highlighting the power of visual storytelling and digital platforms in reaching diverse audiences.

The band celebrated the milestone with a special live-streamed performance and an official “1 Billion Views” edition of the video featuring behind-the-scenes footage and commentary. Fans across the globe took to social media with the hashtag #Crypta1Billion, sharing reactions and fan art in tribute to the achievement.

This milestone not only cements Crypta’s place as a force to be reckoned with in the modern metal scene but also paves the way for more genre-defying success in an industry often resistant to change. As “The Other Side of Anger” continues to roar across the internet, Crypta has proven that true intensity, when matched with authenticity, can resonate with millions—even billions.
