More than three decades removed from their ungentle exhumation from the Canadian underground, Cryptopsy are truly more insatiable than ever. A year after winning a JUNO Award, the band have been reeling off cryptic teasers and blasphemous videos to feed pit-dwelling faithful ahead of their upcoming ninth album. While eerily prescient of our latest unholy obsession, An Insatiable Violence proves once more that Cryptopsy are the most vile band in death metal.
"An Insatiable Violence is as explosive, violent and technical as anything in their catalogue", Blabbermouth says in a 8.5/10 review. "For fans of ruthless, boundary smashing brutality, this is a gift from the death metal gods".
"Cryptopsy proves that even after decades of dominance, they remain hungry - hungry to evolve, to experiment, and to push the limits of brutal death metal", writes Lambgoat in a 8/10 review. "Far from resting on their laurels, the band has crafted an album that feels both contemporary and timeless".
An Insatiable Violence comes out tomorrow, Friday, June 20, but you can hear all eight brutally technical tracks today by listening to the full album stream on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.
"When writing An Insatiable Violence we focused on creating a far more digestible Cryptopsy record", the band says. "We did this by adding more groove sections, more melodic moments and allowed the musical passages to breathe a bit more than on our previous releases.
"Whatever we do nowadays, we always take extreme care to honor the band’s legacy. It is extremely important to us. But at the same time, we never want to repeat ourselves. We strive to be loyal to our sound while constantly evolving. It’s a fine balance between up-keeping the legacy and remaining relevant.
"Another huge aspect that we focused on while crafting this record was introducing a sense of dread and malaise to the songs. We wanted people to feel disoriented and dirty after listening to it.
"We are extremely proud of what we have created and can’t wait for everyone to have the chance to experience it!"
