Wow! Its an OK attempt... I think they could have chose a different song to cover because OMFG is a song of epic proportions, and i tink The Dev is the only one who can truely sing that song. However, great drumming =) Sty Metal

Jason is not EPIC.

Yeah, I was basically about to say the same thing. The only part of this cover I really like is the blast-beat part with the frantic vocals. Everything else sounds very unappealing, and I listen to shit like Agoraphobic Nosebleed when I want a grindcore fix.

No, no, no. This isn't SYL. I hate it. Even though I was born and grew up in Montreal, flooded by cryptocrap, SYL still reigns supreme in my holy opinion.

I feel somewhat disgusted because of the fact that I like SYL and because of this I am now in someway connected to that cover and it's absolutely horrible.

I'm sorry other bands aren't as awesome as you guys are. At least they try. :-p

Flo simplified the drums, but it's definitely more metal. If you don't like shrieking vocals and grindcore you won't like it. I think it's great.

I can appreciate what they were trying to attempt, yet "OMFG" seems like a difficult song for anyone to cover.

The vocals killed it for me. I like Cryptopsy, much more so their old stuff, but that was a poor effort by them.

Wow, not a fan of that cover at all. Vox did nothing for the song, and while Flo is an amazing drummer, there is DEFINITELY something missing...wait...I know...it's GENE! You can't touch Gene's flow/feel/brutality on the kit. Period. I want my SYL! SHITSTORM!

The only band who can do a good cover of Strapping Young Lad is Strapping Young Lad.
The cover is wank.
