In the world of music, lineup changes can be challenging for any band, but for the Brazilian thrash metal band *Crypta*, the departure of lead guitarist Jéssica di Falchi has been particularly tough. The loss of a key member, especially someone as integral as a lead guitarist, could easily shake a band’s foundation, but Fernanda Lira (vocals/bass) and Luana Dametto (drums) are working hard to push through the difficulties and focus on what’s next.
In an exclusive interview, Lira and Dametto opened up about how they are coping with di Falchi’s exit and the impact it’s had on their journey as a band. Both musicians acknowledged that the departure was anything but easy but emphasized their commitment to the band’s future. They are determined to stay positive and keep their focus on the upcoming release of *Crypta’s* new album and their highly anticipated 2025 world tour.
Navigating the Emotional Impact
Jéssica di Falchi was not just a band member; she was a vital part of *Crypta*’s identity. Her departure left a gap in both the band’s sound and emotional core. For Lira and Dametto, this loss has been difficult, but they are learning to adapt to the new reality.
“It’s definitely been a tough adjustment,” Fernanda Lira admitted. “We’ve been through a lot together as a band, and losing Jéssica was not something we could take lightly. She
Luana Dametto echoed these sentiments, saying, “It’s hard when someone who was so close to the project leaves. We spent a lot of time working on our music and growing together, and to see that shift is emotional. But we also know that we can’t let that stop us from moving ahead and doing what we love.”
Both musicians emphasized that the decision to continue was made with Jéssica’s blessing, and while it’s been challenging, the band is focused on making the best of the situation.
