For those that don't know, Cryptopsy is a very well known technical death metal from Montreal, Canada (where I live). They became known because of their intense brutality yet they maintained a certain level of complexity in their music. Their drummer, Flo Mounier, would also become a highlight for the band because he can play extremely fast (I personally don't think he's that great but hey, he's still a very popular drummer). Songs like Phobophile and The Pestilence Walketh In Darkness became very popular.

After Once Was Not, Lord Worm once again announced his departure except this time it was final. They also lost Jon who was another very important because he composed a lot of the songs (as far as I know). To confuse fans even more, the band got a keyboardist named Maggie and they got the singer from 3 Mile Scream. Fans were extremely sceptic about the new record and when it got leaked everyone was disapointed. Frankly, the album sounded like complete crap. People started calling them Craptopsy and then it was announed that they did an alternate mix which was actually the final mix. It still sounded like crap and frankly, it was tech death it was more deathcore. Hell, even Flo's performance wasn't as good on the record. Many people called it the new St-Anger. On Metal-Archives the album got an average of 8% with 14 reviews which is probably the lowest rated album on the archives. If you look at any forums, everyone is complaining about the new album yet this month's Terrorizer gave it a 8/10 and several other media outlets seem to love the album.

I personally found the guitars to be too low, completely unoriginal, the vocals were closer to deatcore which I don't like but I can understand that they wanted to make something diferent but they still suck even for deathcore. When he starts singing clean it sounds like crap too. Flo is far from doing anything completely original, he's just there bashing his drums away like a madman yet it doesn't serve the songs at all. Anyways, his ego probably ruined the band. Hell, Maggie even left the band because she was furious that they barely used 5% of what she composed so she left (funny story... my girlfriend knows her because they both come from a small town about 2 hours from Montreal).

Anyways, use this topic to discuss this craptastic about by Cryptopsy/Craptopsy.

I can barely hear the fucking guitars and bass. Man, I don't even want to listen to this album. Fuck man, I have a hard enough time getting into Death Metal as it is, much less deathcore.

What am I supposed to be listening to? I can hear drums and sometimes when the drums stop I can hear Atari noises.

That is how shitty The Unspoken King is... I'm telling you guys, the album is terrible. I'm not even a fan of death metal but I used to have a lot of respect for Cryptopsy even though I didn't really enjoy a lot of their stuff but now.... ITS TERRIBLE. After mixing the album 3 times you still can't hear the guitars

Fair to say: best man ever

Lets write Lord Worm fanfics.
