| Cryptopsy Announce U.S. Tour |
| Most Vile Band in Death Metal Ripping Up the Road with Nile, The Last Ten Seconds of Life & Cognitive |
| New Album An Insatiable Violence out June 20 |
| “…brimming with technical ability that nevertheless always feels a half-second away from fraying, fragmenting and falling apart” – Decibel (Hall of Fame inductee) |
After giving fans in Europe an early taste of their upcoming new album, today, Cryptopsy are announcing the band’s first U.S. tour in support of An Insatiable Violence. This fall, they will join fellow 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 their revered classics.

| Tracklist 1. The Nimis Adoration (4:10) 2. Until There’s Nothing Left (3:59) [WATCH] 3. Dead Eyes Replete (3:57) 4. Fools Last Acclaim (3:26) 5. The Art of Emptiness (4:16) 6. Our Great Deception (4:21) 7. Embrace the Nihility (3:50) 8. Malicious Needs (5:52) [WATCH] Total runtime 32:04 Origin: Montreal, Canada Genre: Brutal Technical Death Metal A person spends all day building a machine, only for it to torture them through the night. As if that wasn’t twisted enough, they like it. In fact, they like being tortured so much that, come morning, they wake up rejuvenated, eager to tweak the machine until it runs perfectly in their mind. This is the nocturnal vision that inspired Cryptopsy’s ninth full-length nightmare. An Insatiable Violence mirrors our toxic relationship with social media, but while eerily prescient, the album is influenced by the many mutations that have defined the band’s Hall of Fame discography. The album’s lead single bumps and grinds with gruesome bass slaps – and yet, at its core “Until There’s Nothing Left” stakes its claim as their biggest earworm. Cryptopsy recognize that not every brutal technical death metal band sticks around long enough to win a Canadian Grammy 30 years into their career. The cover for An Insatiable Violence was created by the band’s late, great vocalist Martin Lacroix, who would growl with unholy delight over the freshly fetid depths of Matt McGachy’s false chord scream. But despite having claimed the crown as the most vile band in death metal on only their second stab in the studio, Cryptopsy are still pushing the limits of extremity on An Insatiable Violence. Even Flo Mounier – who literally wrote the book on extreme metal drumming – has honed new techniques to keep their blasphemy fresh. For its finishing move, album closer “Malicious Needs” slithers to a crawl before ascending like a bat into a blackened cloud of smoke. Bow to the new vileness from extreme metal royalty. |
| More praise for Cryptopsy “…one of the best technical death metal bands of all time” – New Noise “…it might be the closest thing that the non-classical, non-jazz world has to high-culture music” – VICE “…no surprise, Flo Mounier is completely on his game, as he displays his fierce, inhuman drumming” – Exclaim! “…a must-have for any extreme metal fan’s collection” – Metal Hammer “…would come to define technical brutal death metal” – Angry Metal Guy “…had the packed room going absolutely bonkers with circle pits, regular pits, and crowd surfing” – Brooklyn Vegan “…you’re gonna wanna windmill, but then you’ll be humming some of those riffs later” – Metal Injection “Cryptopsy brings the old sickness back” – Metal Sucks |
Metalheads who are chomping at the bit for An Insatiable Violence can further their appetite by revisiting Cryptopsy’s hallowed catalogue. Since signing with Season of Mist in 2024, the band have reissued their 1993 demo Ungentle Exhumation, revered debut Blasphemy Made Flesh, the widely-worshiped None So Vile, their triumphant self-titled and The Book of Suffering Tome I + II, which is now available for the first time on one combined LP.
