Cryptopsy drops Live Video and Plans for New Album

Canadian technical death metal icons Cryptopsy continue to prove that brutality and precision can coexist in perfect harmony. This week, the band released a high-definition live video from their recent Philadelphia performance, reigniting excitement among fans and confirming that new material is in the works for late 2025.

The live clip captures Cryptopsy in their natural environment, pure chaos refined by decades of discipline. Flo Mounier’s drumming remains a masterclass in speed and control, anchoring riffs that move between clinical precision and primal rage. The band’s cohesion and stage energy recall their seminal 1996 masterpiece None So Vile, yet there is a renewed confidence in their performance that feels distinctly modern.

This appearance follows the band’s acclaimed comeback album As Gomorrah Burns (2024), their first full-length release in over a decade. That record reestablished Cryptopsy as a creative force, bridging the grotesque complexity of their early years with a sharper and more contemporary production approach.

Now, with whispers of a forthcoming release and a planned international tour in 2026, Cryptopsy stand once again at the forefront of the extreme metal underground. Their longevity is not built on nostalgia but on an unwavering commitment to evolution, proving that technical death metal can still feel dangerous, spontaneous, and human.

In an era of overproduced aggression, Cryptopsy’s live resurgence is a reminder of what true extremity sounds like when executed with soul and precision.
