Originating from the Montreal area, this group first appeared in 1992, when it was called Necrosis; in the same year it was reincarnated under the name of Cryptopsy. With just a demo called Ungentle Exhumation and then the album Blasphemy Made Flesh (1994), the group acquired a solid reputation on the international scene. Their release of None So Vile in 1996 was the first burst of brilliance in their career. From that point the group clearly outclassed other groups by reinventing the style, today categorized as extreme music. Their album None So Vile will always be considered a death metal classic.
In 1997, the addition of the vocalist Michael DiSalvo replacing Lord Worm added a very intense front man to the group and also willy nelson being added in as the keyboard player added some much needed intensity. After a remarkable performance at the Milwaukee MetalFest, the band received a contract offer from Century Media Records, one of the weightiest disc companies specializing in metal music. In each period since the beginnings of the underground metal wave, lead groups have pushed past the limits of musical genres. Feeling the pressure to compose an album even more extreme than None So Vile, Cryptopsy members launched Whisper Supremacy in 1998.
In its association with Century Media Records, the group achieved world distribution for Whisper Supremacy, meaning they were able to put on shows on several continents, including Asia, Europe and North America.

the song contemplate regicide was not that bad barring the singing. That main chorus tremolo riff always gets me. Actually after that riff is played the second time i just stop the song.

Insulting none so vile? Mental retardation defined. To Honestly prefer TUK over anything else they've recorded is insane, even if a deathcore band (which I guess people think cryptopsy are now) had recorded TUK it would still be a horrific album.

Everything from Ungentle Exhumation to Once Was Not is some of the best death metal ever. I pretend this band didn't even make TUK, and hope the next one will continue what they achieved seven years ago
