CRYPTOPSY Self Titled CD (2012)

By 2012, Cryptopsy had done the unthinkable, alienated half their fanbase with The Unspoken King, then crawled back through the wreckage and released a self-titled record that hit like an apology written in blast beats. Canada's most technically unhinged death metal band returned to form here, and the underground noticed.

This is the album where Matt McGachy finally sounds like he belongs in the same band as Flo Mounier. The riffs are knotted and surgical, the drums are inhuman in the best possible way, and the whole thing moves with the kind of controlled chaos that made None So Vile a landmark. Not a nostalgia play, an actual recommitment to brutal technical death metal on their own terms. Heavy enough to rearrange your furniture from across the room.

Full length album CD, 2012 release on Century Media. Canadian pressing. Standard jewel case.
