They say death comes in threes. As it relates to Canadian extreme metal legends Cryptopsy, brutal, vertigo-inducing death metal indeed comes in threes! To lend some validity to this urban legend, the guys are back with the second chapter of their promised trilogy, entitled The Book Of Suffering – Tome II.
Much like 2015’s critically-acclaimed The Book Of Suffering – Tome 1, Tome II, promises an inhuman musical journey that once again defies the universal laws of relativity, gravity, rhythm, vibration, polarity and chaos. In fact, almost unbelievably, The Book Of Suffering – Tome II amps up the chaos, delivering an even more ferocious and superior sounding experience, as the band goes on to explain:
“The Book of Suffering – Tome II is some of the most intense, gnarly, brutal-yet-organic material we have written to date.”
RELEASE DATE: Oct 26th 2018
Cover art by Remy C from Headsplit Designs.
Produced, mixed and mastered by Cryptopsy guitarist, Chris Donaldson, at The Grid studio in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
