Cryptopsy - New Album Coming, First Single Revealed
Canadian kings of technical death metal Cryptopsy have announced their return with As Gomorrah Burns, their first full-length album in over a decade, due out on September 8th through Nuclear Blast Records. The band also revealed the record’s first single, "In Abeyance", and its accompanying video, which was directed by Chris Kells.
Commenting on the impending record, vocalist Matt McGachy says: “I’m excited to finally unveil As Gomorrah Burns. It’s an album that we have been crafting for the past five years. A meticulous endeavor that we are proud of. It’s the perfect medley of oldschool Cryptopsy with a few modern twists. We’ve leaned heavily into the grooves and let some of the riffs breathe just a little more than we have on the past few releases. I’m really stoked about the new era of Cryptopsy.”
McGachy adds about the new single: “‘In Abeyance’ is conceptually about feeling isolated while being emerged in a new environment. The hunt for a sense of belonging while mourning a previous life. Musically, it’s a slap in the face. It’s a banger that appears to be straightforward yet remains ultra complex.”

I don't think I've ever looked forward to a Cryptopsy release, but there's a first for everything. This sounds pretty damn cool.

Surprisingly generic sounding. You would think after not releasing an album for over ten years that they would want to come back with something less cookie cutter.

I'm so dumb, I read it as Cryptosis and was very confused by the comments and post
