Cryptopsy made fans wait 11 years between the 2012 self-titled and 2023 follow-up As Gomorrah Burns. This time it’s a slightly shorter wait, as Cryptopsy has just announced their new record An Insatiable Violence due out June 20.
On the title of the new record, Cryptopsy vocalist Matt McGachy said it came to him in a dream: “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. Because, you know, we all have to have our phones with us all the time”.
Cryptopsy is now streaming the first single “Until There’s Nothing Left”, which as you’d imagine is fucking brutal. The single comes alongside a music video written and directed by Christopher Kells, and starring Nicolas Raspail.
On the record itself, McGachy added: “As Gomorrah Burns was a stepping stone for our new album. 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.”
An Insatiable Violence also finds drummer Flo Mournier moving faster than he ever has… which is insane. “I mix up a lot of a physical activity, like resistance training into the drumming,” Mounier said.
“I recently developed new techniques that make it easier to go even faster, so I tried to push that on this album. My focus is now more on dynamics and the touch of the snare, a certain snap of the snare, a rim shot on the snare, the toms, a light touch or a hard touch. Live, I can really let go, you know, give the sound guy a hard time.”
Oh, and former Cryptopsy vocalist Mike DiSalvo performs vocals on the track “Embrace the Nihility”, which is pretty cool. Pre-orders for An Insatiable Violence are available here.
