CRYPTOPSY perform at THE METAL QUEEN MANAGEMENT CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK SHOWCASE on Saturday, March 4, 2005 at The Vatikan, 1032 Queen Street West, Toronto at 12:00 a.m.

 

CRYPTOPSY launched into the international metal scene following their Ungentle Exhumation demo release in 1992 and debut CD, Blasphemy Made Flesh (1994). Quickly signed to Swedens Wrong Again Records (who also discovered In Flames and Arch Enemy), the band issued the underground classic None So Vile (1996), which severely outclassed peers and resulted in the band being cited as having reinvigorated the style. Their intense energy and musical superiority led to their Century Media international record deal and also the American re-release of their previous two CDs. CRYPTOPSY also released albums Whisper Supremacy (1998), And Then Youll Beg (2000) and None So Live (2003).

 

Once Was Not was released in October 2005, an album representing the bands power and versatility. Lighting the albums fuse is an acoustic/electric guitar intro entitled Luminum. Descending with whirlwind intensity, In The Kingdom Where Everything Dies, The Sky Is Mortal embodies the entire CRYPTOPSY experience: acid-jazz infused extreme technical metal, battle-honed guitar riffs, strategically supportive and deadly effective bass guitar, culminating in the omnipresent rhythmical onslaught from drummer Flo Mounier. Once Was Not demonstrates the licentious cohesion years of touring and performing has given CRYPTOPSY absolute supremacy. Hear why CRYPTOPSY are one of metals defining acts and why they have earned the nomination for Favorite Metal Artist.

 

CRYPTOPSY have toured across Europe, Canada, United Stated and Japan and have sold an excess of 275,000 albums.

Warmachine, Shatterpoint, Penetrator, Cryptopsy
March 04, 2006 The Vatikan

Review by: Ayaz Aziz, Spill Magazine

With Canadian Music Week '06 off in full swing, it had definitely come time for some of the home-grown metal talent to strut their stuff. Thanks to Metal Queen Management, four of Canada's most talked about underground bands had gathered in The Vatikan for an intimate display of what has been brewing lately in local scene. The line-up featured some pretty diverse sounds with both established names as well as some up-and-comers. Just as much as I was looking forward to see headliners Cryptopsy, I was curious about what sort of reactions the less familiar openers would recieve.

Warmachine kicked off the evening. Their debut album has been creating quite the buzz since it came out. Makes me wish I'd gotten out on time to watch them perform. Fortunately, I wasnt too late to catch Shatterpoint get on stage next. Hailing from Brampton, they have a very straight-up-thrash flavour that in many ways resembles something inbetween Sacred Reich and early Machine Head. Shatterpoint didnt take long to get aggressive with their infectious riffing and guitar solos. That, on top of clever tempo-variations and a broad vocal style made for a great live performace. They are definately one of my favorite emerging acts and have the potential to go a long way. Despite all this the crowd seemed more content just watching them play rather than engage in the traditional flailing-of-arms-and-legs. All the same, judging from the rowdy applase between songs, everyone seemed quite impressed.

Penetrator was up next. Their very old-school feel completely changed the vibe from the previous set. From the very first strum these guys looked like they were absolutely loving their stage time. Guitarist Bess Ross carried a huge smile on his face, like he was just born to be playing this part. Given their vast musical experience that dosnt come as a surprise. Penetrator are one of the few remaining bands that dare to play what stopped being
played ages ago: a distinct 80s power-metal style that will remind you of your favorite Judas Priest records. But once again, everyone seemed to be conserving their energy for Cryptopsy. Lack of a shindig aside, they still made their appreciation very clear.

And finally, without doubt the biggest crowd-drawer and winner of the Favorite Metal/Hardcore Artist catagory of CMW '06, on came Montreal's Cryptopsy. With little ado, guitars and drums were set ablaze, accompanied by an insane flurry of headbanging. This set was as awsome to watch as it was to hear. First of all, it's amazing that these guys can actually play live the berserk and mind-bogglingly fast stuff they put on their records.
The visual centerpiece had to be the monstrous drum-set that barely left any room for the rest of the band-members. Notorious drum-man Flo Mounier is a spectacle of his own, and is often cited as one of the most capable masters of his instrument in the known world.

Cryptopsy have made a name for themselves for being easily one of the most extreme group of musicians in their genre, playing their instruments as hard and fast as imaginable. They take extreme music to the extreme. And as can be expected of that, so did the fans. Just leave it to Cryptopsy to set off a riot of a mosh-pit. If you want to see guitars and drums being played to their physical limits, this is where to go. It's hard to imagine how exhausting it must be for them to play their music for more than a few minutes at a time, but they did it for the entire set while barely ever taking a moment to slow down. I guess this must have made front-man Lord Worm hungry, because he eventually brought out his chalice of worms. After slurping down one or two himself, he went on to feed the eager
front-rowers.

Metal Queen Management's CMW showcase gave these bands a chance to make some
noise and be seen, and gave us a chance to sample some great coming attraction. The fact that a show like this attracted a full house with barely any radio promotion speaks a lot about the fans as well. Although not everyone was familiar with all of the performers, they were all well recieved. The tremendous talent that was on display goes to show that
the domestic brew is just as good as any.
