Jon Levasseur's return is the best thing happen to this band, I always love the way he plays, technical while exciting and emotional. And he does play a Strat! I've been right!

I love that the vocalist is holding up a lyric sheet at 0:23

having john back made the whole difference. i missed him a lot

Man I wish you guys would release the Making of Cryptopsy video already. 4 years later and I still love listening to it! Definitely rekindled my love for your music and it'd be awesome to see the behind the scenes from it, especially the parts with Jon

This is the Cryptopsy we knew and fell in love with!

Damn this guys are truly the most amazing collective of musicians on the face of the earth...to actually write this stuff and be soo fuckin tight with all the speed changes is just incredible

wow this sounds pretty amazing cant wait for the new album!

This is the Cryptopsy I have missed for so long.

Sounds like a whisper supremacy!!! I believe in cryptopsy again!!!

Thank you, sir.

They've back!!!

I am with you man, I memorize mine before I even go into the studio.

Yes it does.

Imagine if Jon and Pat from CC made an album together. It would be some of the most technical music ever composed. Kids would be auditioning to music schools with it lol like Frank Zappa's Black Page drum solo.

It's gonna fucking destroy. I've listened to this trailer on loop for the past hour.

awesome pick ups as well !

HELL YEAH!!! Can't wait \m/

wow! amazing! cant wait to hear some new levaseur solos!

Know it? Yet so many of us enjoy the DiSalvo albums just as much!

It doesn't sound particularly like BMF or NSV, but it DOES sound very much like WS, ATYB, and OWN - albums which also make up a large portion of Cryptopsy's identity. This is Cryptopsy through and through.

Hopefully preordering my copy in the morning!:)

Hopefully it lives up to the hype

Enfin le retour de Jon!!!

Grindcore to the MAX!!

This is all pretty fucking badass. Definitely sounds like Cryptopsy.

Sounds Very promising!

Completely agree. Genre labels should serve as a means of giving you an idea of what something sounds like, nothing more. Bands aren't bound to them, and pretty much every band/artist out there could be split up into varying genres and sub-genres if we all wanted to be THAT pedantic and get THAT technical. At the end of the day, it still all boils down to whether you enjoy the MUSIC or not. It really is that simple.

Completely agree with you. If I could give this more thumbs up, I would.

It's like Whisper Supramacy played with The Unspoken King sound. Cool.

This sounds fucking brutal! bring it on!

I really liked some stuff on the unspoken king, but this... This will be EPIC!

Proof cryptopsy is back! ( even though i loved the unspoken king) but the fact jon is back says a lot. Hoping to hear that soon cryptopsy ruuuuuuuleeeeeees!

Adoro essa pancadaria! \m/

Amen to that. If you listen to other albums Chris Donaldson has produced recently (Neuraxis, Beyond Creation etc) the production values sound very similar to this. I personally think it sounds great, the mix is clear and you can hear every bit of what's going on. As much as I love that "old school" sound, it's 2012, and music production has come on leaps and bounds in recent years.

I'm glad to hear that the clean vocals got dropped. Do the vocals in certain spots remind anyone else of Psycroptic's stuff?

Yeah, right after I posted this comment, I was noticing a lot of complaints about their production, but I think it's amazing, you can hear everything now. I guess the point is just that people will always complain, no matter how good something will be.

Faith in Cryptopsy restored.

Because he's in the studio. You'd be surprised how many vocalists read their lyrics when recording them.

Wow that sounds like the old days I love it! I remember seeing you guys on your first Canadian tour after you self-released your debut album. Lord Worm and the whole band were in fine form, one of the best live shows I ever seen in my life. This clip takes me back to that time!

vocals sound like lord worm and disalvo mixed. personally, i cant wait for this. its like old cryptopsy with a new brutaller feel. every band has to evolve and i think this progression in the right direction, unlike unspoken king.

That sounds like the stupidly hectic Cryptopsy i love.

I wonder if this album will have melodic parts like Whisper Supremacy, the melodic parts in that album were amazing.

I got their new album yesterday (hard copy), it's really fucking amazing, everyone should get this album!

i think i'm one of the few people who enjoyed unspoken king , but i have to say, this new stuff looks absolutely awesome! i think i will not miss unspoken

Been looking forward to this album as much as the new Dying Fetus, the new Spawn of Possession and the new Cannibal Corpse.

Brutal, powerful, bad ass! \m/\m/

Yeah it look like the guys are getting along well now. unspoken king was a transition album

BRUTAL

Bought the new album plus a t shirt on their official website, fucking can't wait till it arrives!!

Really dig this. I couldn't like the last album, but this sounds modern without being trendy or just plain bad. I'll definitely pick it up.

So much better than The Unspoken King.

I've heard and seen tons of complaints about the new Nile production actually. But I think this sounds pretty good

I will admit though, that Amputated Enigma, sounds quite awesome...

Thank you Jon for rejoining and getting this band back on track. Anyone that complains about Lord Worm's absence can go hang out with all the Chris Barnes fanboys, you guys obviously don't have a grasp on the deeper musical nuances of this band. Fuck labeling their sound, how about wait for the record to drop and support them if you like what you hear. Easy enough?

This sounds fucking great....

i very much like what i am hearing.

This is CRYPTOPSY!!!1!!111!

Looks very brutal e a lots better than the last albums. I feel the spirit from "Whisper Supremacy" here. The vocalist is singing DEATH METAL now, and not hardcore like he used to sing. I will get the new album for sure.

Classic!!! Love the vocals \m/ Thank god Worm is gone!!!

Pretty sure he meant Lord Worm-era Cryptopsy, which is the only Cryptopsy that matters to me.

Actually, the guitar itself doesn't matter. Its the electronics that do all the job. All you need is a good humbucker pick up at bridge position to get a loud, fat distorted sound. Looks like an active EMG85 , but I could be mistaken.

from 1:50 YES.

That girl actually doesn't growl too shabby. It's still no BMF or NSV, but I'll definitely check this out.

That's a dude, his names Matt McGachy

So I wonder if it was Flo who decided to bring back in the main songwriter of the band and go "no no no, it still needs to kind of sound like we're deathcore trying to be death metal" instead of letting the riff god come up with his inhumanly awesome music. What the fuck, guys... I had high hopes watching this and now I'm only mildly excited to give it a listen. Don't be a shell of yourselves still, you already have been for years.

@shockofhyperbole You should give once was not another try. Nothing directionless about that album. Plus it has Lord Worm's finest vocal performance to date!

It's Cryptopsy with a different edge, a slight twist if you will... just like any band with a new album. Listen to Rush nowadays and they sound nothing like they did in the 70s - it's expected. Listen to any band's older album to listen to that particular sound - otherwise, enjoy the new stuff, fuck. To me, this is bananas in the sense of awesome!

It does. That guy at 1:32 even has a Whitechapel t shirt, and the vocals sounds like Annotations of on Autopsy or some shit like that

Cool shit! I'm pumped to get this. The vocals are better...but I'm not going to ask for Lord Worm back, because it obviously won't happen. He gave legendary vocal performances and made a huge impact on the Death Metal community, time to move on. Matt IS getting better.

cool Whitechapel/Despised Icon shirt!

I'm going to buy this album right now!!! *left*

@widehalk looking at the next line?

Cryptopsy Returns (?)

hmm, i love the guitar tone.

Can someone get Shaun LaCanne to do the vocals please? Thanks.

Sounds brutal as fuck. They must make another album similar to none so vile.

Where?

This shit is so bad ass!!!

1:34 Holy shit! Hail to Jon \m/

Who played bass for this album? Was it Youri Raymond or the new guy, Oliver Pinard? As far as the production goes, stop whining. It's how bands are being produced now, clean and legible. It's nice to be able to hear the riffs for a change, which are quite frankly awesome riffs.

@Dimebag: "This sounds nothing like Cryptopsy"??? Don't be silly. Every listener with a realistic view on things has to admit this sounds 100% Cryptopsy. The style of these songs (and vocals) is absolutely in the vain of Whisper supremacy which is my favorite Cryptopsy album so far. Very, very great!!!

lord knows he has the lyrics!

13 people want another album like the Unspoken King

WUUUHHH Tech/death i love it

Technical Death Metal to the bone no deathcore shit here. Very Promising

jon u may be gone again but i hope cryptopsy is back on track because of the temporary return

I never said that the guitar tone would be different on the teaser and not the final versions, so I'd prefer if you don't assume. The point I'm trying to make is that you can't really make a point about the MUSIC that will be released, I didn't say anything about the production. I doubt Chris is gonna re-amp the tracks too, but oh well, if it sounds good, then I'll listen to it. If not, big deal, I'll just get over it and move on.

Holy shit, this actually sounds... good?!

He did a good job with the Neuraxis album so I'm looking forward to this release. And I know of Dead Congregation, and their guitar tone is much better than this, but this isn't bad either. That's just my opinion. If they wanna do this, then let 'em. As for Nile, the new production isn't too bad honestly. Sure, something seems a little off, but at least now you can hear Kollias more. Just be happy Jon is back in the band and they're moving back to death metal, not the crap they pulled in 2008.

I KNOW I'M SO PUMPED

New-aged tech death metal for children. R.I.P. Cryptopsy.

They need Lord Worm back!

I didnt know jon levasseur was on this album

well its not exactly oldschool Cryptopsy, but sounds very promising!!!

i like how he has to look at his lyrics for "EEEERRRGHGHHHHHHHHH" haha

Much better than their old album which was a disaster

You just described a lot of old-school death metal. There is nothing REMOTELY core about this trailer. Like, not even close. This is more like Whisper Supremacy than anything.

There was nothing regressive about Once Was Not. Sometimes I think people say that simply because they believe Jon didn't write the music on that album (which is wrong - Jon wrote everything on Once Was Not before leaving the band, although his solos were replaced which is a shame).

This should be good. :D

the thing about deathcore being exclusively inhales is dead wrong though.

NSV was their best album and will always be one of my favorite records. They won't ever reach that level of greatness again in my eyes, but nevertheless I'm very excited for this, and so glad that Jon is back.
