Cryptopsy Premiere Short Film for An Insatiable Violence!
While only a year removed from winning a JUNO Award, Cryptopsy are already outdoing themselves. The most vile band in death metal have graced the cover of Decibel and snatched Metal Injection's Artist of the Month, leading metal maniacs to quickly devour their latest offering. An Insatiable Violence has amassed more than one million streams while vaulting to #9 on the Billboard Current Hard Music Album chart in Canada. So of course, they still have another shocking treat hidden up their longsleeves.
Over the past four months, Cryptopsy have been revealing their new album's eerily prescient vision through a steady, albeit unsettling stream of cryptic video clips. "When we were thinking of a unique way to promote An Insatiable Violence, Flo came up with a killer concept of sharing one part from each song before the album came out", says the band's vocalist Matt McGachy. "We ended up expanding on that idea by using those pieces to create a short film".
Today, in honor of their latest malicious mutation, the band are premiering the full short film for An Insatiable Violence with their fellow Canadian horror fiends at Rue Morgue.
"The concept of the film for An Insatiable Violence is about a person that desperately wants to be a popular social media influencer", McGachy continues. "The scenes dance through the protagonist’s day-to-day relationship with content creation and how their audience reacts to it. It’s an insatiable violence and a truly saddening reality of humanity’s relationship with social media".
Watch the short film for An Insatiable Violence on Rue Morgue's website.
An Insatiable Violence is out now on Season of Mist.
