Cryptopsy‘s new studio album “An Insatiable Violence” has newly been unveiled for a June 20th release through the Canadian death metal band’s latest label home of Season Of Mist. This ninth studio outing serves as the follow-up to their Juno Award-winning “As Gomorrah Burns”. According to an official press release, “An Insatiable Violence” is centered around the following concept:
‘A person spends all day building a machine, only for it to torture them at night. As if this thought wasn’t malicious enough, they enjoy it. In fact, they enjoy being tortured so much that, come morning, they wake up rejuvenated, eager to tweak their creation until it runs perfectly in their mind. This is the waking nightmare that inspired the upcoming ninth full-length album from Cryptopsy.’
Vocalist Matt McGachy added:
“The concept for our new album came to me in a dream. When I woke up, I immediately wrote the title down on my phone. Because, you know, we all have to have our phones with us all the time.”
“I’m trying to break the cycle, but on those days where I’m just doom scrolling, I get so depressed. The fallacy of Internet stardom is just a dopamine trap that crushes our spirits.”
He later went on to state:
“‘As Gomorrah Burns‘ was a stepping stone for our new album. We took what we enjoyed about the last album and focused on expanding it for a live setting. We wanted this album to be more groovy so that people can really latch onto these songs when we play them live.”
First up from that effort is the below Christopher Kells-directed music video for the song “Until There’s Nothing Left“.
