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.

why cant people ever stop comparing bands? when will some maturity come into them? is it so hard to just like something by its own absolute good or bad without making comparisons?

Suffocation and Cryptopsy are like apples and oranges. I personally think that on BMF cryptopsy had a discernible suffocation influence. I prefer cryptopsy to suffocation bu to say one is better htan the other makes absolutely no sense to me. Death metal would be lost without either either of these giants. That Said, the past two Suffocation albums to come out were way better than the past 2 cryptopsy releases.

I would answer your post but pity your English is too hard to digest especially that mind-fuck statement at the end, this is the first time ever on the internet I've said such a thing as I usually tolerate and admittedly engage in "misuse" of the English language so consider yourself special.

Stating that Cryptopsy are better than Suffocation is equivalent to allegation that the Bring The Horizon is better than The Chasm. Suffocation has a lot of awesome riffs, unique rhythmic riffing and complex songwriting, extremely awesome drummer (well Cryptopsy's drummer good too), much better vocals and tons of good albums. Suffocation is 100 times more consistent, influential and heavier as well. Cryptopsy is an average crap (TUK and OWN is a utter shite) with a couple of good albums. Cryptopsy is a pretty much a joke band when you can't find more than four-five DM bands better than Suffocation.

and quite frankly suffocation is overrated, whilst EoF and PfW are good from time to time to suppress the inner wigger they have little playback value.

cryptopsy absolutely destroys suffocation no ifs or buts, suffo has 2 great albums but too bad BMF eclipses both put together and this is not bringing NSV into the equation. Any statement to the contrary is irrelevant.

'blasphemy made flesh' is the album that got me INTO death metal..ofcourse i had listened to some other good bands/ albums before too, but i didnt get into DM with them somehow (wrong timing,etc I suppose)....BMF blew me apart and threw me to the other corner of my hostel room the first time i seriously listened to it... just an arbitrary shout
