Cryptopsy
Original post

Founded in 1988, Cryptopsy grew to become one of today's biggest leaders in today's technical death metal scene. Their singer, Lord Worm, is certainly one of the most notable aspects of the band, whose voice sounds almost strained, yet still powerful. Cryptopsy's music is very fast and aggressive, made stronger by their liberal use of time-changes and the intense drumming of Flo Mounier, who gives all of their songs a very prevalent percussive feel. This lineup released two albums, Blasphemy Made Flesh and their groundbreaking album None so Vile.
After 1996, Lord Worm left the band for his own ambitions as a teacher, and was replaced by Mike DiSalvo. His vocal style was very different from that of his predecessor, taking on a more -core style. His first album as singer was Whisper Supremacy. While many people were turned off by this dramatic change, DiSalvo was indeed a very aggressive vocalist. After the release of the band's fourth album, And then You'll Beg... DiSalvo quit in 2001 to pursue a family life.
After a brief stint with Martain Lacroix as vocals (who can be heard on the album None so Live), Lord Worm finally returned as lead singer on Cryptopsy's latest album, Once was Not. The band is now touring Europe to promote the album.
The first Cryptopsy album I heard was And then You'll Beg, and I loved it, so I suppose I like DiSalvo a bit more than some other Cryptopsy fans... of course, I now prefer Lord Worm.
Any other fans?

Written by Guest on 17.03.2008 at 05:48 Is there any band who has nose dived this hard and this quickly though? (it is a genuine question, I don't know too much about death metal, only about a dozen bands or so)

Written by Doc G. on 17.03.2008 at 09:04 I am wrecking my brain but can't think of a single band (be it in death metal, thrash metal, or whaver other metal) that has nose-dived this hard and this quickly.

I can't think of any band going under such a radical change for the worst in such a short span of time either.

Written by Baz Anderson on 17.03.2008 at 14:53 Judging by an interview I read with Lord Worm a few months back (trying to find it, but not much luck). And apparently he got ousted from Cryptopsy because he had health conditions that prevented him from touring...which I dont imagine would prevent him from at least making a studio project, but by the way he was talking he sounded far more interested in Black metal.

I'm going to post every picture I find.    ^^^that one makes me laugh while throwing up. Oh, and I think this was the interview that Dr.Rock spoke of (scroll down to the bottom if the browser doesn't do it for you).

Quote: Some interesting comments in that interview, especially this. He's always been one of the great lyricists in metal, it would be very interesting and appropriate for him to lend his skills to some sort of black metal collaboration. His writing would be very appropriate for something musically like Mayhem or Countess, even Lunar Aurora perhaps.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 15.03.2008 at 01:24 I've never listen to Cryptopsy before and I'm not that much into DM, but those two songs are crap...especially Bemoan The Martyr. It's sounds like someone making fun of the genre

Written by Damnated on 18.03.2008 at 17:18 According to what people say, it's a pretty reliable source. Anyway, with a vocalist like that i doubt that they will do better than those two musics

Written by Dangerboner on 18.03.2008 at 21:34 Yeah its not absolute crap, perhaps the band beat some sense into the singing faggot after they sobered up (they had to be loaded on something to actually think recording those other 2 songs was a good idea). The moments where hes not screaming arent bad.

Well, unless you're a fan of their older stuff (which I'm not). If you are, it's pretty depressing, I suppose.

This new music is a blasphemy so vile that I'm already whispering, begging that it once was not. Well, that didn't come out too well, kind of like the new tracks I've heard. Anyway, I guess we shouldn't judge after a few songs, so I guess that means I have to start liking Soulja Boy too. They should have just got Mike DiSalvo back, the two albums with him were at least alright. Anyway, at least Flo's drumming is still good, even though I still hate the production.

I've just started to get into Cryptospy having known them for many years and i really like this band. Blashempy made flesh and None so vile are really great and Once was not works really good for me too. So hearing they are going to release an new album really got me waiting for it. Now im fucking crushed, i was so close to start crying when i've heard this .....martyr song. Horrible absolutly horrible. Thought the band so brilliant for going wery fast and wery brutal and still keeping everything so good together not forgetting that unique "cryptospy vibe"...the grove and those killer riffs. And now this.........
