1222.0. ""Cryptopsy" IS heavy!!" by KAOFS::C_MENENDEZ (CARLOS, SOO ONT MCS (705)945-7862) Wed Apr 09 1997 19:42

    	Mike:
    
    	Since we were discussing on some topic about "heaviness" on the
    bands, I thought you might want try this one for size.
    
    	The name of the band is Cryptopsy, I'm sure Dle knows them. This
    is a Canadian band from Quebec and they ARE heavy, just like Kataklysm.
    IMO this is some sort of technical death with incredible speed/brutali
    ty. The vocals are also brutal, so you can't complain.
    
    	In comparison with Vital Remains (which I think was the band we
    were talking about), VR are a completely different style. VR is a very
    structured, not ultra speed death. I don't know what Dle thinks, but
    they have some traces of death and some distinct black influences. I
    like VR a lot, but they are just one style of music. Brutal they ARE
    and I have read some very positive comments about their live performan
    ces on the newsgroups. Currently thay are on tour with Incantation and
    I'm waiting for the Michigan dates Dle was supposed to send me to see
    if I can finally catch them live.
    
    	On the other hand, I would probably have some problems finding some
    thing heavier than Kataklysm/Cryptopsy/Neuraxis. These guys can leave
    you dumb if you listen at high volume levels.
    
    	The name of the CD I just got is NOT SO VILE, and it's highly
    recommended.
