I've found this Cryptopsy release to be one of my favorite ones, especially sense Cryptopsy has been able to help further raise the bar and influence many modern technical death metal bands today. There is a lot that I like about this album, being that it is their first full length, and even at the time at which it was recorded, it sounds really, really surprisingly good. It was 1994, and although it wasn't the best sounding production that had ever been produced, it is still fun and brutal enough for me to rotate in for a couple of listens. Not a typical stunt for a band to be performing at the time of this record's release, but never the less, there was something to brag about upon these guys entering the scene with their truly progressing talent. This again, is another one of those albums whose songs all seem to flow together pretty well, and there wasn’t one that I didn’t like, as I am the type of person to tend to rotate an entire album, and I can usually find to like ALL or most of the songs on the record, not just the 1 or 2 good “hits” that people will usually waste money buying the whole CD for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cryptopsy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46358989439196,"sku":"HHR201514","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/4123\/6444\/files\/hhr2016-11_crypstopsy_-_blasphemy_made_flesh_ac9c6259-cde5-405e-983d-f0291f8264cf-min.jpg?v=1740528993"},{"product_id":"cryptopsy-book-of-suffering-tome-i-clear-vinyl-lp","title":"CRYPTOPSY - Book Of Suffering Tome I \/ Clear Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e100 copies released on 180 grams clear vinyl.

A friend turned me on to their first two albums in the late nineties, and I even stuck by the band through Whisper Supremacy. Things started to go wrong with the release of And Then You'll Beg, but the return of Lord Worm and a new avant-garde style brought me back somewhat for Once Was Not. However, The Unspoken King was so insulting that I finally wrote Cryptopsy off for good, and I was prepared to treasure the first three full-lengths as the only Cryptopsy albums that really mattered. Much to my surprise, the self-titled album that arrived in 2012 finally showed Cryptopsy correcting over a decade's worth of problems. I initially approached the album with caution, half-expecting the improvements to be too good to be true.

Comes with a bonus DVD from 1996. Limited edition of 2.000 copies worldwide as a digibook.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is there to say about this album that hasn’t been said before? Multiple words could be used to describe this album: Timeless. Essential. Masterpiece. Definitive. Sickening. Yes, even sickening falls into this category, because believe it or not, back in 1996 when Cryptopsy released “None So Vile,” it was\u003cbr\u003eunlike anything else at the time. From the first drum hits and guitar riffs of “Crown Of Horns,” it would have been obvious, and still is to this day, that Cryptopsy improved on themselves since “Blasphemy Made Flesh.” But then you combine some of the most technical and speedy Death Metal to date with the sickening\u003cbr\u003escreams, snarls, growls, and grunts of vocalist Lord Worm, and I’m sure that 1996 was the year Death Metal changed forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e“None So Vile” is a testament to the Death Metal formula, and the odd thing is is that not many have tried to emulate it. I don’t know why. Maybe it might be because of how difficult it would be to emulate an album of this calibur. Cryptopsy is a massive influence upon Death Metal. Many factors contribute to the influence Cryptopsy struck upon Death Metal. One of them is absurdly seen from Flo Mounier’s maniacal drumming. As far as I’m concerned, two words can sum up this man: Speed Demon. But just because he’s speedy doesn’t mean he loses any shed of technicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBut Flo is not alone in making Cryptopsy. With the duo of Jon Levasseur and Eric Langlois on guitar and bass respectively, Cryptopsy was noted for their technical music playing. Just look at songs like “Slit Your Guts,” “Graves Of The Fathers,” and “Phobophile” to see how this duo completely tore apart everything that may have been considered a standard for Death Metal at that time. These two remade the standard by bringing shredding guitar and audible, crushing, and technical bass playing into the mix. The playing by these two is a testament to technical playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBut what truly makes Cryptopsy, and many would agree, is Lord Worm. This man is down right beastly. No true word in the English vernacular could describe what this man brings to Cryptopsy and what he did for Death Metal on “None So Vile.” At this point in time, I don’t think anyone could have anticipated vocals like this. He is downright in-fucking-human. His screams are vicious, his gutteral growls are putrid, and the longevity at which he can perform and hold these vocals is insane. But not only did Lord Worm bring a sickening unnatural vocal style, he brings forth a style of lyricism that was complex yet somewhat simple. Lord Worm writes lyrics that are poetical descriptions of gore, murder, and insanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv id=\"tab-label-tab.tab\" class=\"data item title\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"tab-label-tab.tab-title\" class=\"data switch\"\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD: None So Vile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
