Cryptopsy has returned with a self-titled album that brings the band back to that Golden Era sound that made it great in the first place. It's immensely technical but engaging, with crystal-clear drum work from Mounier. Recapturing the past is a near-impossible task at the best of times, but Mounier and Levasseur have successfully reverted to the formula that helped invent the Quebec tech-death hyperblast sound alongside acts such as Gorguts and the early albums of Kataklysm. The Cryptopsy of old is back, the choice of going with a self-titled album is itself an indication of a return to purest form. The original lineup might be long gone, but the glow of those halcyon days of Cryptopsy, thought completely extinguished just a few years ago, is back with a 500 kilowatt vengeance!!
