CRYPTOPSY Vs. Internet Detractors: 'It's Dinner Time'
July 3, 2008Canadian extreme metallers CRYPTOPSY have uploaded a "mock track" on their MySpace page called "It's Dinner Time", apparently poking fun at the group's former "fans" who have slammed the band's recent shift in musical direction.
CRYPTOPSY drummer Flo Mounier recently spoke to Decibel magazine about the changes in the band's sound on its just-released new CD, "The Unspoken King".
"The Unspoken King" is CRYPTOPSY's first album to feature keyboardist/samplist Maggy Durand (HOWLING SYN; she has since left CRYPTOPSY) and vocalist Matt McGachy, who is also a member of 3 MILE SCREAM.
"This was part of the idea we had when we started working on the new material," Flo told Decibel. "First, we wanted a keyboard/sample player who could add a little more live atmosphere. As far as a singer, we were just fed up with monotonous [makes staccato grunting noises] sound through whole albums. I'm a big fan of dynamics in music and creating diversity. We wanted something really extreme in some parts, but with melodics and ambience in others. We're not planning on using clean vocals all that much, but we wanted someone who could, just in case."
He continued, "First, it's going to be the best-sounding CRYPTOPSY album. It'll be the 'tastiest' and most mature; all the parts are there for a reason and everything fits really well. Vocally, it'll be the most diverse CRYPTOPSY album; there will be a whole slew of screams, growls and voices."
He added, "I'm a fan of different sorts of music, and think it's most fun when a band puts out an album that has elements of everything; you get this thing called diversity, not boredom. That's what we're trying to do. Still, I think people are going to be surprised how brutal this album is."
