The band has progressed while still keeping things brutal as, it would be worse if they just released the same material as they have before. Besides, Once Was Not was a pretty poor album, production wasnt great, i didnt think the material was that good, and Lord Worm... Lord Worm sounds like a 16yr old kid trying to whisper death metal growls into a mic while his parents are asleep in the next room. He has no volume, no projection, no clarity, he is seriously shit. Im with Fallover, one of the worst death metal vocalists ever. Unspoken King, not their best album but definitely a step up after Once Was Not. even tho And Then You’ll Beg is still my fav Cryptopsy album, and one of my fav metal albums, Unspoken King is still heaps good.

That's so brutal, blah , blah. There is NOTHING brutal about metal. Blast beats, downtuned guitars , screaming and grindcore drumming are not brutal, it's not dark in any way. It's a gay(literally and figuratively) and image based. I'm so sick of it. There are acoustic singer songwriters 100x more brutal than any stupid wannabe metal band. Remember it's all just music, for entertainment purposes. and BTW if this offended you in any way, it just proves my point!!!!! metal heads are mostly pussies, they whine and cry so much about lame stuff… That’s so brutal, blah , blah.

Any of you ignorent retards who say otherwise should go buy a Hate Eternal CD or a fuckin Brain Drill cd. That is how to do a death metal scream. Yeah, the new guy uses the "metalcore" creaming style, (that is to say not all gutteral, with some actual RANGE), but the new guy is way better anyway and the new music is different and pretty sick.

That's what cryptopsy do with the record, they kill hundreds of these so-called throwaway bands, reduce them to ashes. And besides, i always liked cryptopsy much, musically, but the singers always sucked. who are you to fucking judge them?

Most of the opinions on thi site are based on opinion, so whether you like it or not is irrelevant, what makes the album a good or bad one, in my opinion, is whether 1: the band progressed 2: the songwriting is more complicated 3: the songs are catchy , or good, 4: lyrics arent as important to me, because to each listener they can mean something completely different, but they should not br jibberish, in my personal opinion 5: and yes, a good album, is just deifned as if you like it, but those are very important. well i only heard the song they posted on their myspace prior to it being released, i didnt think it to be that bad.

It's essentially a deathcore album with Flo Mournier and Eric Langlois on it. Even past the nu-metal sounding clean singing, the guy sounds like a throwaway 19 year old tryout for Despised Icon. the guitar tone has no character and the riffs are uninspired. While I liked Lord Worm he wasn't irreplaceable... Jon Levasseur was the true loss for the band as he was the primary songwriter. Flo is a great drummer but his taste sucks and so does his writing. The keyboardist is absolutely pointless, even moreso than the one in Opeth. And their image overall looks like it's your average Century Media throwaway band that opens for Lacuna Coil and Leaves Eyes. there are so many things wrong with all this, I'm just getting started. bottomline, they fucked up and a lot of you have a combination of bad taste and a desire to pull straws to defend a band that you can't admit sucks.

Finally a review with the credit this album deserves. All of you who say it's awful are just a bunch of whiners, or must be fans of the hundreds of boring generic brutal death bands out there. I'm a huge Cryptopsy fan and a Death Metal fan in general and I f*cking love this album. Big deal if they got vocals, as Carlos says it does actually give it some great dynamics. Being a fan of Cryptopsy I was pretty shocked to hear the clean singing the first time myself..but you know what..I got used to it...and now I think it suits it great. Trust me I f**cking hate emo, generic deathcore, and metalcore..this album is none of those. Do people not have an open mind these days? Or do they just go by what wikipedia tells them. Awesome!
