CRYPTOPSY - ONCE WAS NOT - CENTURY MEDIA
Though five years have passed since And Then You'll Beg, Cryptopsy has made amends to its fanbase via excellent new record Once Was Not. A definite Top 10 of '05 record, Once Was Not combines an incredible array of styles and substances, the record brimming with an energy we haven't seen since the debut. From its epic grandiosity to its furious straight-ahead attack, Once Was Not is extremely well-written and an effort that, surprisingly, works as a cohesive affair. This is definitely the album of Cryptopsy's career, with the band pleasing its complex diehards, death metal friends and even those who love the jazzcore/punky bits. A statement of purpose from a group whose time -- if there's any justice in the world -- is now.

ah... Looks like somebody holding a red flag or something...

I'll have to see a bigger image to decide whether it's good or not.

thats the cover, yes, but you cant really make out the details of the picture. It has some pretty sick touches; but in like a subtlely grotesque manner (its classic classy cryptopsy)...and the illustrations themselves are fuckin ace. The more I see it the more I like it honestly.

"Subtely grotesque... classic classy Cryptopsy." Bang on man. I'm a huge fan of all the Cryptopsy covers and artwork. I don't mind the re-release "Blasphemy Made Flesh" artwork TOO MUCH:The Michael Whelan original looks killer, a classic alongside his cover for Sepultura's "Arise." from what I heard, he's shuffled off the mortal coil and all his work has been declared "above" being used on something like CDs by his estate. If that is the case, well :2up: !
