Release 2:
Montreal extreme metallers CRYPTOPSY have been nominated for Favorite Metal Artist as part of Canadian Music Week. The Indies, The 6th Annual Independent Music Awards, will be hosted by the Trailer Park Boys, and the awards will be presented at Toronto's The Docks on March 1st at 7:00 PM. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster or www.CMW.net.
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 Sweden’s 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 You’ll Beg (2000) and None So Live (2003).
Once Was Not was released in October 2005, an album representing the band’s power and versatility. Lighting the album’s 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 metal’s 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.
“Extreme metal champions, the planet’s most technically proficient and mind-jarring death metal band.” (BW&BK)
