After 30 years, Cryptopsy are no strangers to the spotlight. Since their ungentle exhumation from the Canadian underground in 1993, the Montreal natives have worn the horned crown as the most vile band in death metal. Their upcoming ninth album and first since winning a JUNO Award embodies the many malicious mutations that have defined their Hall of Fame discography. But while infectious, the latest single from An Insatiable Violence brutally illustrates that society's viral takeover isn't all it's cracked up to be.

"'Dead Eyes Replete' is one of the most brutal songs on our new album", vocalist Matt McGachy says. "It reaches into the depths of the sordid world of YouTube child stars and how parents rob them of their youth and innocence all in the name of greed".

An Insatiable Violence comes out June 20 on Season of Mist.

The concept for Cryptopsy's upcoming new album appeared to vocalist Matt McGachy in an eerily prescient dream. But the latest single from An Insatiable Violence was inspired by the real life horrors of kidfluencing. "Nurture the chosen one", McGachy barks, opening "Dead Eyes Replete" with his freshly groomed death growls.

"We've played at least 140 shows since our last album", he says, "and all those reps have helped me deepen and darken my false chord screams".

Just like a doe-eyed YouTuber is pounced upon by wolves waiting hungrily in the comment section, "Dead Eyes Replete" opens in unfiltered, all caps, attack mode. As Christian Donaldson bends his frets like a spotlight operator who's gone haywire, Flo Mounier rolls out carpet-bombing blasts beats with blinding precision. "Since our last album, I've developed new techniques that allow us to go even faster", says Mounier. His controlled chaos is still the force that binds Cryptopsy's bloodlust, though he managed to raise the eyebrows of their in-house producer. Blink and you may miss it, but lurking within the song's stuffed sockets is a trampling fill that resembles another powerhouse.

"I love John Bonham's playing", Mounier says. "I told Chris that we were leaving that part in there. It's the closest we're ever going to come to sounding like Led Zeppelin".

During death metal's initial spike in popularity, Cryptopsy quickly staked their claim as the scene's most brutal band of technicians. They never stop knifing between surgical tempo changes and filthy hooks, but An Insatiable Violence gouges deeper into the lascivious grooves that won them last year's Canadian Grammy for best Metal/Hard Music Album. "Beware the spotlight" McGachy flashes with his signature bat-like shriek just before bassist Oli Pinnard slams "Dead Eyes Replete" shut with a career-best breakdown.

The video for "Dead Eyes Replete" was created by B2crea.

In the wake of spreading bloodshed all over Europe with Decapitated, Cryptopsy are now fiending to feast on the new cuts from An Insatiable Violence with their ravenous fans across the U.S.

This fall, the band are joining brutal technical death metal pharaohs Nile on a 25-date tour of the East Coast, Midwest and Pacific Northwest. Joining them on this run are The Last Ten Seconds of Life and Cognitive.

"We are so excited to bring An Insatiable Violence to the United States. It's a pleasure to tour amongst friends and this lineup is incredibly stacked!", Cryptopsy says. "Our new album was written for a live setting. The songs are more brutal and grooving so that people can really latch on and bang their heads".

Cryptopsy's setlist for this tour will pull from the band's latest albums while mixing in revered classics.

A person spends all day building a machine, only for it to torture them at night. As if this thought wasn't malicious enough, they enjoy it. In fact, they enjoy being tortured so much that, come morning, they wake up rejuvenated, eager to tweak their creation until it runs perfectly in their mind.

This is the waking nightmare that inspired the upcoming ninth full-length album from Cryptopsy. "The concept for our new album came to me in a dream. When I woke up, I immediately wrote the title down on my phone", vocalist Matt McGachy says before adding, "Because, you know, we all have to have our phones with us all the time".

While an eerie mirror image of society's latest brain rotting obsession, An Insatiable Violence is influenced by the many mutations that have come to define Cryptopsy's Hall of Fame discography. On their new album, the JUNO Award winners continue to push death metal to even more blasphemous extremes. While near bursting with the band's brutal technique, lead single "Until There's Nothing Left" stakes its claim as their biggest, most vile earworm.

Watch the nightmarish video for "Until There's Nothing Left" below.

"Until There's Nothing Left" holds nothing back. Just as quickly as the video's star takes the band's trusted bait, Cryptopsy lock him inside their freshly fleshed-out house of horror.

"Your greed for pleasure is too vast", McGachy utters with bottomless disdain thanks to his newly deepened death growls. Christian Donaldson reels through brutal chugs while Oli Pinard snaps off not one but two gruesome bass-slapping solos. After 30+ years behind Cryptopsy's drum throne, Flo Mounier continues to keep the band on the tips of their horned toes. With devilish ease, he slits between blinding fills, relentless double bass and punishingly precise blast beats without ever leaving the pocket.

"Since our last album, I've developed new techniques that make it easier for us to go even faster", says Mounier, who literally wrote the book on extreme metal drumming. "An Insatiable Violence is a nice melting pot of Cryptopsy's old and new eras".

The first taste of their upcoming album does smack you around before springing into a commanding groove. But even though the band's last album won the JUNO Award for Metal / Hard Music Album just a little more than a year ago, Cryptopsy weren't content with reaping their rewards. Writing for An Insatiable Violence began in earnest last spring, while they were touring North America with Death to All. Working from the road was new for them. And while not without bumps, playing 140 shows over the past 15 months gave them a clear sense of direction once the time came to hit Donaldson's studio.

"As Gomorrah Burns was a stepping stone for our new album", McGachy says. "We took what we enjoyed about the last album and focused on expanding it for a live setting. We wanted this album to be more groovy so that people can really latch onto these songs when we play them live".

With its headbanger of a chorus, "Until There's Nothing Left" will no doubt fill the pit when Cryptopsy tours Europe next month with Decapitated. The band's signature fishhook riff wriggles deep into the grooves in your brain beneath bat-like shrieks. "And as you now can clearly see / You're totally mine". Of course, the song wouldn't represent peak Cryptopsy if it wasn't filled with a more insidious message. Its sinister story of an online predator feeds into the album's larger cautionary tale.

"An Insatiable Violence reflects our toxic relationship with social media", explains McGachy, who's been feeling the effects since starting his podcast Vox & Hops. "I'm trying to break the cycle, but on those days where I'm just doom scrolling, I get so depressed. The fallacy of Internet stardom is just a dopamine trap that crushes our spirits".

Cryptopsy know not every brutal technical death metal band is on the upswing nine albums into their career. The cover art for An Insatiable Violence pays tribute to their late, great vocalist Martin Lacroix.

"Martin did None So Live, but he never really got to do a proper album", the band says. "His art is amazing. The two pieces of his that we used for An Insatiable Violence are incredible. His family was super excited about it, too. We are honored to have him be an even bigger part of Cryptopsy's lore".

The video for "Until There's Nothing Left" was written and directed by Christopher Kells.

Cryptopsy recognize that not every death metal band sticks around long enough to win a Canadian Grammy 30 years into their career. The cover art for An Insatiable Violence was created by the late, great vocalist Martin Lacroix. "The album artwork has got to be one of the most important things to us!”, the band says. “Martin Lacroix was one of our vocalists, one of our great friends and one of the nicest people that anyone could have the privilege to meet. We really wish he was here with us to share this moment. His perfect smile would say it all! Rest in peace brother".
