Review: The mega bomb!! This Third album from this Canadians is pure Apocalyptic Death! Since NECROSIS (their first band) in the early 90 's they fucking improved their style. This is so intense, so fuckin 'brutal! That 's the kind of album that every Death Metal freak is expecting, you know what I mean: nothing bores you cause it is so good for you ears ! Some may say that it 's lacking of diversity but who gives a fuck when every thing crush your head until your brain blows out! Fast riffs, fast drums (really amazing!!), fucking extreme! Be prepared to be blasted by this skilled musicians CRYPTOPSY enters in the Death Metal Elite with this album. note: 4,5/5 ('cause I am sure that I will put 5/5 for their next album) Reviewed by Bruno Kan the_genocider@yahoo.fr

CRYPTOPSY "None so vile" (Wrong Again Records) Release date: 1997
Review: This second Cryptopsy long length work shines by its magnificence and excellence in matter of structured and brutalizing death metal. Canadian legend spawned eight offsprings for this album, each of them abounding in inveterate barbaric violence. Through a deadening death metal style, shot with sumptuous metalistic technicity and instrumental maetria, they bring a new breath to old death metal classical acts, like Suffocation or Cannibal Corpse, hardening and strenghtening their styles. Intensifying blastbeat parts, totally speed crazed, fast as hell, always sharp and clear, articulating the song structures on velocity overtaking... Resolute guitars are also ryhtming and assmembling coherence of compositions, and harshly attacking mental senses, cutting through ears with corrosive thrashy, withering swings, or splendid melopoeia... Primitive, raw brutal growls also tighten the profuse burstings of malevolent aggressivity. The most sordid ungentle instincts are sublimed through exquisite orchestration, violent to the extreme, but mastered with surgical precision... A total success in my mind!
Tracks: 1)Crown Of Thorns 2)Slit Your Guts 3)Graves Of The Fathers 4)Dead And Dripping 5)Benedictine Convulsions 6)Phobophile 7)Lichmistriss 8)Orgiastic Disembowelment



CRYPTOPSY "Blasphemy made flesh" (Radiation Records) Release date: 1996
Review: From the first few chords of "Defenestration", you clearly hear that Cryptopsy attempts to violently brutalize listener's ears... You're snatched up by the considerably expeditious speeds, reached with implacable, faultless skilful ease and helped by a quite clear sound production... With wild, sharp, heavy, technical guitar riffs tearing from all sides, popping twisted bass lines and blasting tight drumming... all of the ten songs composing "Blasphemy made flesh" are played in a hurry, track structures are agitated and so exciting, with throaty outcries of guttural clamour and insane growling, ponctuating Cryptopsy's destructive musical achievements. A downright fast brutal death metal, sometimes drawing near grindcore horizons, only to exalt the heavier, thrashy, catchy metal parts; combining impulsive extremity to control and technicity... "Blasphemy made flesh" is an important accomplishment in death metal history... A prodigious must-listen.
Tracks: 1)Defenestration 2)Abigor 3)Open face surgery 4)Serial messiah 5)Born headless 6)Swine the cross 7)Gravaged(a cryptopsy) 8)Memories of blood 9)Mutant christ 10)Pathological frolic
