Classic Album Review: Cryptopsy | Whisper Supremacy

The Montreal grind-core quintet make Black Sabbath look like Menudo.

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Title aside, there’s nothing even close to a whisper on this third CD from Montreal grind-core quintet Cryptopsy.

Screaming, there’s plenty of. Along with bludgeoning mayhem, relentless riffage, astonishing instrumental precision and jaw-dropping speed. Faster and heavier than mere mortals could ever be, Cryptopsy carves out some grand grind that makes Black Sabbath sound like Menudo. Submit or be obliterated.
