Cryptopsy Unveils New Album “An Insatiable Violence” Set for Release

After an 11-year hiatus between their 2012 self-titled album and the 2023 release of “As Gomorrah Burns,” fans of the legendary death metal band Cryptopsy can breathe a sigh of relief. The band has announced a new record titled An Insatiable Violence, which is scheduled to drop on June 20, 2024.

The Inspiration Behind the Title

Vocalist Matt McGachy shared an intriguing anecdote regarding the album’s title. He revealed that the concept came to him in a dream. “When I woke up, I immediately wrote the title down on my phone,” he explained. “Because, you know, we all have to have our phones with us all the time.” This moment of inspiration set the tone for an album that promises to be as intense and thought-provoking as its title suggests.

First Single Release

To build anticipation for the new album, Cryptopsy has released their first single, “Until There’s Nothing Left.” As expected, the track is a brutal showcase of the band’s signature sound. Accompanying the single is a music video directed by Christopher Kells and featuring Nicolas Raspail in a starring role, adding a visual narrative to the band’s sonic assault.

Evolution of Sound

In discussing the new album, McGachy noted that “As Gomorrah Burns” served as a stepping stone for their latest work. “We took what we enjoyed about the last album and focused on expanding it for a live setting,” he said. “We wanted this album to be more groovy so that people can really latch onto these songs when we play them live.” This focus on groove indicates a thoughtful evolution in their sound, aiming to create an engaging experience for fans during performances.

Drumming Innovations

Drummer Flo Mournier is also pushing boundaries with his technique on this album. “I mix up a lot of physical activity, like resistance training, into the drumming,” Mournier revealed. “I recently developed new techniques that make it easier to go even faster, so I tried to push that on this album.” His emphasis on dynamics and snare touch promises an intricate and powerful drumming performance that fans can look forward to.

Special Guest Appearance

Adding a layer of excitement, former Cryptopsy vocalist Mike DiSalvo contributes his vocals to the track “Embrace the Nihility.” This collaboration is sure to resonate with long-time fans, offering a nostalgic connection to the band’s past.
