"Cryptopsy has returned with a self-titled album that brings the band back to that Golden Era sound that made it great in the first place." Four years ago, the death metal scene was set on its ear when Cryptopsy, the Canadian pioneers and esteemed progenitors of technical death metal, put out the much-maligned "The Unspoken King." To say it was polarizing wouldn't even be accurate. Everyone who knew anything about the band's past and its seminal album, "None So Vile," loathed "The Unspoken King...

Sound: This album is brutal death metal/grind the whole way through. The guitar is about as heavy as can be, and the drums are inhumanly fast. The overall sound is extremely dark and brutality oozes out of every note. Jon Levasseur and Miguel Roy rip out completely over the top guitar solos and I'm surprised Flo Mournier has yet to set his double bass on fire. Eric Langlois (bass) has some great slap lines (see Benedictine Convulsions), and skillfully provides the rhythm a bassist should...

Sound: This is the first and last EP makes Cryptopsy. It was the demo that made the debut of Cryptopsy. Was recorded in 1993 and consists of four songs, three of "Blaphemy Made Flesh", and one of the "...And Then You'll Beg". The demo was re-released in 2002 as an MCD. The overall sound is noisy, given the poor quality of sound. The guitars are heavily distorted, the voice of Lord Worm is somewhat out of date (later improved in the "Blasphemy Made Flesh")...

Sound: The sound is generally very good, the guitars are very successful, the bass is excellent, the battery, as is natural in Cryptopsy is abnormal, but do not get the coordinates of none so vile. The new voice (DiSalvo) is quite good, considering the departure of Lord Worm. The new singer (DiSalvo) is excellent, considering that the aim of Cryptopsy is get into a technical, but brutal album. This album manages to blend the technical with the brutal...

Sound: "Blasphemy Made Flesh" is the debut album of Cryptopsy, released in 1994, re-released in 1997, and also re-released in 2001 by Displeased Records with a different cover. The sound is improved in this album compared to the "Ungentle Exhumation". The guitars are distorted, but with far superior sound quality, like the electric bass, and drums. Lord's Worm voice is perfected on this album, going to be a monster screaming to have better vocal interpretation...

Sound: This album is by far the most technical of any other Cryptopsy albums. It is rare that you will here a power chord, and it sticks to a lot of diminished work at fast, tempo changing paces. The drumming is again amazing, as Flo Mounier is known for his godly technical drumming. The songs are pretty consistent but it gets a little filler during some parts. This album aslo singifies the departure of lead guitarist of Jon Levassuer, who was the primary songwriter of the band...

Sound: After finishing the album was a genre that had never reached such heights ("Whisper Supremacy"), Cryptopsy squeeze again to finish the gender of the Technical/Brutal Death Metal with "And Then You'll Beg". The sound of this album is extremely technical and brutal, marking the best album we can find Technical/Brutal Death Metal. The guitars are fast, Jon Levasseur and Alex Auburn know how to get a sound overwhelming...

Sound: While this release certainly is controversial, the sound and production of it is not. It should come as no surprise that Flo Mounier, the drummer, visionary and driving force behind Cryptopsy takes up a lot of the spotlight with his drumming and commands quite a large portion of the spectrum to his very well crafted work. However, he occasionally takes up too much space, somewhat depending on what he's playing...
