Anyway. This is "the" death metal album from my younger years. It still takes your face of with each listening these days. Cryptopsy have definatly gone off the boil in recent years. This featured the original line-up with the monstrously voiced Lord Worm fronting them ( he used to feed live worms to the audience). I first heard this when i was 17 round at a friends house. From the opening sample and fearsome blast that sweeps everything away like debris in a hurricane it is unrelenting. The bass playing of Eric Langlois has inspired me more than any other extreme musician. I could never really pick any flaws with the record. It was unrelenting with the blasting and the silly fast riffs, the screams and growls sounded so tortured and the dynamic stop/start nature of the compositions.
All that wanky talk aside, this album has had such a bearing and influence on my own style and writing since I first heard it 10 years ago. The next few albums after this had there moments but None So Vile owns.
