Death Metal Debauchery #22: The CRYPTOPSY Edition

Cryptopsy used to be known for their very technical, fast-paced death metal. With the departure of Lord Worm on vocals after Once Was Not, a new lineup took over which put emphasis on sound quality and blast beats over technical but catchy riffs. Cryptopsy is not what it once was. But the old sound of Cryptopsy its run through five full-length albums and a live DVD. What you get from that band is quality death metal, although one can hear the difference in sound quality throughout those albums - where Lord Worm left for the first time, a void is created where Cryptopsy doesn't sound as fine as it did on those first albums and again of Once Was Not.
