Re-Issue of CRYPTOPSY's 1996 album "None So Vile" now on Hammerheart Records.
What 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 unlike 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 screams, snarls, growls, and grunts of vocalist Lord Worm, and Im sure that 1996 was the year Death Metal changed forever.
*"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 dont 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.
*But 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.
*But 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."
*In retrospect, this is the album that many Death Metal enthusiaests should live their lives by.
