CRYPTOPSY Announce U.S. Release Date For Self-titled Album

Montreal extreme metal veterans CRYPTOPSY have announced November 20th as the U.S. release date for their forthcoming self-titled album. Already a contender for many a critic's top ten of 2012 list, Cryptopsy marks a furious return to the band's tech-minded roots. Cryptopsy will be released in the U.S. by Cryptopsy/Defen Society in association with Revulotion Harmony/Candlelight Records. Pre-orders for the album are available through the band at www.Cryptopsy.ca or by visiting this location.   Praise for Cryptopsy "A startlingly intense and memorably brutal self-titled album. Surely the most solid collection of tech-death songs released in 2012." (9/10)  - Outburn "This is a full-bore return to the death metal the band excels at." - Decibel "The band make a case for tech death, or extreme death metal, as more than a logical abstraction, and certainly more than a nostalgia act. Cryptopsy brings the old sickness back on this." - Metal Sucks "A welcome return for the Canadian masters of vicious technical fury."  - Terrorizer

Cryptopsy is an extreme metal band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  During the past twenty years, Cryptopsy have wreaked havoc throughout the metal genre by releasing six studio albums (Blasphemy Made Flesh, None So Vile, Whisper Supremacy, And Then You'll Beg, Once Was Not and The Unspoken King), a live album (None So Live) and an EP (Ungentle Exhumation), which have confronted and invigorated the conventional approach to writing extreme music.  Now in 2012, Cryptopsy have returned to their roots in order to craft their newest endeavor entitled Cryptopsy.  The band has said that Cryptopsy will be their most brutal, technical and dynamic offering as of yet.
