What the fuck is wrong with Crypstopsy?

[Postman]

I'm all about going in new directions, but this crazy. You really can't call it cryptopsy anymore.

Believe me, I have an extremely eclectic taste, but that is just wow.

[Vish]

I think their new stuff is the best stuff I have heard from them... but it still sucks.

[Mythos Inibri]

haven't heard it yet

[Mythos Inibri]

yeah, Bemoan The Martyr really sucks

the other song Resurgence of an empire or whatever was a little better but it sucked too.The background vocals are especially stupid sounding:thumbsdown

[-deathboy-]

i gonna have to just go ahead and drag those right on over to the recycle bin.
might as well empty it while i'm at it.
may need to reformat my computer for good measure to insure they are actually gone...

did you like any of their stuff that did not have Lord Worm?

[Postman]

and this is what they have to say about it

Drummer Flo Mounier of the Canadian metallers CRYPTOPSY has defended the shift in the band's musical direction on their forthcoming sixth full-length studio album, "The Unspoken King", after unfinished versions of several of the tracks surfaced on the Internet.

A CRYPTOPSY fan named "Sam" made an online posting directed to Flo in which he stated about group's new material, "there is a difference between adding experimental touches to music and completely and utterly throwing everything you've done on past albums out the window. Now I haven't heard the full new album so I can't base a full opinion on it yet. But I sure as hell know that I'm not the only one feeling this way. The way I see it (and countless others I have spoken to about the issue) is that you've alienated your core fan base completely, which is shit, because die-hard fans like myself are just left saying 'What the fuck?' Also the new tunes I've heard sound pretty commercial, but not commercial enough to get a whole new fan base off the ground in my opinion. As a musician myself, I know what it's like to want to play something different and change it up every once in awhile. But at least change the name of the band if you guys are going to release this because listening to 'Bemoan the Martyr' [off the forthcoming album] and then putting on something great like 'Loathe', 'Shroud' or 'Phobophile', it just doesn't sound like the CRYPTOPSY I know and love, and have spent a lot of my hard-earned money getting tattoos, CDs, seeing shows, merch etc."

In his response to Sam, Flo wrote, "[I'm] very disappointed to see how closed-minded some of our fans are. We started extreme metal and now we are doing it even more then before, extreme dynamically. When you listen to the full album, you will understand or not. Never has CRYPTOPSY been soo fast and agressive and at the same time generated feel in metal songs, wow. Not an achievement to you, it seems, but something extremely hard to do. If you get it or not, that's up to you, but people judge fast and I can guarantee that if you open your mind a little, you'll understand and be in awe. No change, then just vote for Bush again while you're at it. You know, [I'm] not an angry person by nature, but god, open your ears."

"The Unspoken King" is CRYPTOPSY's first album to feature new vocalist Matt McGachy, who is also a member of 3 MILE SCREAM.

CRYPTOPSY was forced to cancel its previously announced tour of South America in March after Mounier broke his knee cap. Flo had completed the drum tracking process for the group’s new album prior to the incident, so it did not affect the recording. The tour of South America is expected to be rescheduled later in 2008.

i have liked everything i have heard up til this mourning. it has nothing to do with it heading towards a nu-metal-death-core or what have you direction, as it is well documented that i enjoy those styles too, but(t) these two samples are just crap. they sound disjointed and half assed. sounds like no one in the band has any idea what each other is actually doing in the studio.

[Postman]

exactly, I agree. Music is music. Genres are irrelevant. It's the music you like. BUt this just seems so contrived and half assed.

[Evil Red]

"We started extreme metal..."

Oh man... the doubaggery. Well this news blows hard and not in the good way. Guess I'll never eat the worm again...

I think he meant they started out as extreme metal.He couldn't possibly be that stupid.

[Postman]

I don't know. Those guys have some serious egos. Look at Luke Yeager ala Sleep Terror or Axl Rose or Dave Mustaine. Those guys are insane.

[Evil Red]

I dunno. That was a mighty firm sounding statement. But then again, if it wasn't for Al Gore "inventing" the internet we wouldn't be having a discussion about retarded quotes anyhow. ;)

AHHA!!! Got you there! Al Gore definitely did not invent the internet. :P

:D

[Evil Red]

My point exactly.

RIP Cryptopsy. :(

[Vish]

AHHA!!! Got you there! Al Gore definitely did not invent the internet. :P

:D

nor did he actually say that he invented the internet. he took credit for putting his name on a piece of legislation to get the internet up and running nationally and the conservative media took a small part of his quite, warped it and put it out to the population in a manipulated form.

[Evil Red]

Oh for fucks sake! SEMANTICS!

I'm sad about this news and the stupid vocalist.
RIP Cryptopsy, end of story.

[Vish]

im glad im not a cryptopsy fan. never understood what the fus was about.

[Mythos Inibri]

Vish,did you try reading Lord Worm's lyrics..that guy was fucking twisted:monkey

[Bonehead]

im glad im not a cryptopsy fan. never understood what the fus was about.

I'm with you on this one, Vish. I mean, there is extreme, experimental or progressive music, and then there is being weird just for weird's sake.

Flo is a heck of a drummer, but I have never been able to enjoy his style. Just too odd for my tastes.

[Mark Carras]

Vish,did you try reading Lord Worm's lyrics..that guy was fucking twisted:monkey

The lyrics were never a problem. It was the music.

I could never understand the fuss either. Flo even wrote me a pissed off email once when I reviewed a cd several years go. I think it was Whisper Supremacy or None So Vile.

i never read the lyrics of any band that i listen to. i never pay attention to lyrics. i pay attention to the music. since i listen to mostly extreme metal where the lyrics are usually indecipherable, i just lost my want for knowing what a band is singing about. one of my most favorite bands is cannibal corpse, and i really dont know what most of the songs are saying, other than from what the title of the songs are.

[Evil Red]

That's funny because I think of all the growlers, Corpsegrinder is one of the easiest to understand. I do get to know the lyrics so some of that may be me being familiar with how certain vocalists pronunciate though.

On a related note... Lord Worm told me I was the only one he'd seen that swallowed the worm without chewing. BHAHAHAHA! :rotfl

[Mythos Inibri]

I liked the music on None So Vile.:shrug

[Mortado]

I did the same thing. no chewing on worms for me. Kind of like raw oysters!

[Evil Red]

Haha RAD!
It was probablly the same night. MMM.... good eatin's at S7 that night. :D

[Postman]

truth

Lord Worm was one strange dude.
