Brief History of Cryptopsy
Cryptopsy is one of the most influential Technical Death Metal bands in the world, originating from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The band was founded in 1988 by Mike DiSalvo and several other musicians. Initially, the band was named Necrosis but later changed its name to Cryptopsy in 1992, marking a new era in their music. Cryptopsy is known for extreme technicality and complex songwriting in every album. The band combines brutal death metal with high-speed tempos, technical riffs, precise drumming, and aggressive guttural vocals. Their debut album, Blasphemy Made Flesh (1994), introduced Cryptopsy to the international metal scene. Over time, Cryptopsy became increasingly recognized for technical innovations that influenced many modern death metal bands, including Spawn of Possession, Obscura, and Beyond Creation. The band is also famous for intense live performances, precise instrumental execution, and extremely high technical standards.
