The guitars do sound quite good, but are mixed quite low. Recorded from December 2007 - February 2008 at Garage Studio (Montreal, Quebec). Within the first ten seconds there's been a stop-start riff, several pathetic screams layered over each other and within the first 20 there is a vocal sound that is like a weak midrange growl, but with a tone approaching pig squeal territory, and a hilarious riff that manages to be both horrendously -core (chugs in unison with vocals) and pseudo-technical (scale runs between said chugs) at the same time. So vocals, yeah, they hurt, but so do the guitars, which are in an almost never ending breakdown, and no, it isn't a good Cryptopsy breakdown, which is interesting, inventive, and adds personality to a song, its a very standard deathcore break down which has no personality or purpose. Now, where people are getting confused as to what this band is like is that people tend to automatically decide that complaints about deathcore are from people who simply don't get it, and are for that reason just bashing the album for no reason other than it isn't what they are expecting. If they could've utilized her properly *cue jokes*, she could've been an interesting addition that may have been the breath of fresh air that Cryptopsy needed. And like Cold Lake, it's a poor attempt at a poor genre, one of those things that makes you wonder "wow, deathcore must be harder to do then I thought". I may as well review it properly. Even worse, the 'keyboardist' Maggie Durand. Things just stop, a particularly shitty riff will come in, Matt will sing for a few seconds, babies will cry, then things will stop, and a slightly less shitty breakdown will begin. Well, sorry boys some of us do and we are the ones who actually matter because we understand the faults that were made here. Because aside from these minimal “new elements” (or "drawbacks", if you will) in their music, the rest of the album is Cryptopsy the way you would have expected them to play and sound at that point in their career. She does appear every once in a while but thankfully, her performances are scarce and she doesn't overtake the music. Livraison gratuite dès 25 € d'achats et des milliers de CD. So wrong in fact that I felt compelled to write my first, and only, review for metal-archives. Sorry, I just don't get bands that have more than 5 members. The album was released on May 23, 2008 by Century Media Records, and marked a shift in Cryptopsy's musical style following the departure of vocalist Lord Worm. "The Unspoken King" is Cryptopsy's sixth full-length studio album and definitely their most different effort. The album marks the debut of Matt McGachy as well as the first and only appearance on a Cryptopsy album by Maggie Durand, as well as the band's departure from the death metal genre. with the terrible ideas thrown in to create an unholy marriage of all that is bad about modern metal, with a few new nuances as well. In closing I'll say this: if it turns out I missed the memo that my opinion is completely wrong and Cryptopsy are a legitimate deathcore band now, then as far as I'm concerned they're still among the elite in their genre, and it will be a long time before anyone eclipses them. Sure, it may have been a bit boring, but nothing like this. or anything of the sort. Boring and shitty. Album opener Worship Your Demons immediately displays that Cryptopsy have lost none of the edge that albums such as None So Vile had, with its ultra technical guitar work that is up there with the best, and the vocal work is breathtaking. Alas, as I had failed to keep up with the latest Cryptopsy news, it totally slipped my mind that Lord Worm left once again. "Worship Your Demons" What kind of sound you think it would make if it could utter any words? I didn't even like any of Cryptopsy's vocalists (though I enjoyed Lord Worm's performance on Once Was Not) but their albums were kept afloat by the fantastic work of the rest of the band. Yep, you heard me right. On previous Cryptopsy records you were treated to a unique brand of brutal death metal with hints of melody and jazz influence,especially on their previous release, "Once Was Not" which saw the return of Cryptopsy original front man, Lord Worm, which added a nice touch to that release. I may as well start on vocals though. Do not encourage or fund this shitty band. Let’s just try to remember them for what they once were. New vocalist Matt McGachy is really into what he's doing, but he isn't very good, plain and simple, boasting an atrociously bad set of clean vocals alongside some shitty tuff-guy -coreish vocals and a generic Deathcore yowl that could probably attract lonely cats if utilized under the right circumstances. Everything that Cryptopsy normally wouldn't do. Veteran developer Insomniac Games presents The Unspoken—an Oculus Touch‐enabled VR action game that pulls players into a hidden world of spellcasting and magician’s duels. The Unspoken King is the sixth studio release from Cryptopsy and marks their departure from the technical death metal sound that they had helped to pioneer alongside bands such as Suffocation and, earlier, artists such as Atheist and Death. The solos are quite respectable, not as good as what they've had in the past, but easily the best thing about the guitar work on offer. Even if they managed to return to the roots on the next album (you know as well as I do that won't happen), this is unforgivable. I couldn’t bring myself to give this album 0%. Overall, these drawbacks are small enough to overlook and appreciate the rest of the album for what it is: your typical millennium-era Cryptopsy. This is a mixed bag album, but I really enjoy it and recommend it to everyone with an open mind. Obviously the latter of these influences demands clean vocals, though the hack that Flo has recruited isn’t fit to lick Stu Block’s boots when it comes to screams or clean singing. Granted, many of the solo sections are surrounded by 3 or 4 minutes of incredibly terrible sounding deathcore noise or groove metal riffs. Around 98% of the riffs are either painfully dull or just painful, essentially proving that without Jon Levasseur Cryptopsy riffs are just not good. He was later recovered by the Alpha Primitives, who cared for their fallen king. A band which can use clean vocals quite well is mid-period Soilwork, but this is nowhere near that level both in the song writing and the ability of the vocalist. And as far as the general songwriting goes, this is not NEARLY as asinine or weak-kneed as it's made out to be. 08. Even though this album is nothing new, they still managed to be very boring and excruciatingly unoriginal. In either case, the vocals just don't work for this style of music. I delayed buying this album for a couple reasons. Maybe they figured it was a failed experiment? I might vouch that this album's situation is very unique and suffers from an effect that could be coined the "The Unspoken King Effect", if you're the kind of person that likes discussing metal whilst pretending to be a scientist or something. It's very difficult to think of her as anything more than 'window dressing', as in the aforementioned shit act Bleeding Through. Among the many loaners I’ve received from friends who love metalcore more than I is this latest piece of work, which has done little to sway my opinion about their favorite metal sub-genre. The riffs aim for some kind of technicality but come across more as thudding, grooving tunes occasionally interrupted by out of place blasts. The Headsman has some crazy lead playing, and The Plagued is just a lesson in how to play ridiculously fast and still sound nearly perfect. This brings me to my final problem with this record. McGarthy’s vocals are what really drive this album into the shitter. Unfortunately, even the one or two decent riffs are totally mudded up and ruined by the vocals of Matt McGachy. It is safe to say that hardly any of them expected anything having to do with metalcore, but as it turns out, metalcore is a major ingredient on The Unspoken King, which finds Cryptopsy unveiling a new six-person lineup that includes newcomer Matt McGachy (who has been with the Montreal-based band 3 Mile Scream) on lead vocals, Flo Mounier on drums, Alex Auburn and Chris Donaldson on guitar, Eric Langlois on bass, and newcomer Maggy Durand … The Unspoken King is the most maligned in Cryptopsy's extensive discography for the simple fact that it was Cryptopsy tapping into the trends of the day, and this is not rightfully so at all. So, this is the infamous 'deathcore' record, yet Cryptopsy had been incorporating ingredients of that aesthetic bastardization as far back as the later 90s. This is a creative Twilight Zone, in a way, not being creative in a good way, yet not being uncreative or unoriginal enough to warrant cries of "clone of (BAND XYZ)!!!1!" When Cryptopsy announced their lineup change, adding a keyboard player and vocalist who could perform cleans, quite a lot of fans (myself included) were quite intrigued, as the more experimental and chilled out stuff on Once Was Not was actually very good. If you’re familiar with his previous band 3 Mile Scream you’ll be just as confused as I am why Cryptopsy even considered adding him to the line up. Life's funny that way. The music itself is very hit or miss. So, even when you don't factor in that Cryptopsy has gone so far downhill that they've entered a crevasse so deep that light cannot escape its dark clutches, The Unspoken King is still absolutely disgusting beyond the capabilities the average band. One thing that I've learnt in my 9 or so years as a metal and music listener in general is that selling out isn't always as bad as it seems, as long as it's done right. The real tragedy about this song is that they start out with a great intro riff and then never bring it back, resulting in the first minute and a half being sheer classic death metal ownage followed by a mixture of half assed metalcore bullshit and some semi-solid ideas. Positive press and negative mudslinging are more alike than one would ever think. Flo Mounier’s drums sound as uninspired as Lars during St. Anger takes. (You could consider the band photo the third reason why I delayed purchasing the album. The drumming is fine, although the drum writing doesn't fit with the music. 1/5. How were they not laughing at how stupid sounding the vocals are? Matt McGachy assumed vocal duties on this release. For those Lord Worm fan boys out there, listen to this song to be convinced that Matt has every bit of the power Lord Worm had behind his vocals. He even implements clean singing into some songs, which caught me just as off guard as anyone else. If they kick out Matt and get a much better singer, have no pointless add ons e.g. An example of this would be in 'Bemoan The Martyr', where he lets out some long held notes over a Langlois-dominated groove riff. Proceed with caution and an open mind. Occasionally there will be glimpses of former glory (like the solo in “Leach”), however the remaining 98% or so of The Unspoken King will have you scrambling for the stop button on your iPod. Beyond that, The Unspoken King seems like quite a lot of effort expended into a product that I can't imagine anyone wanting. Also, the death core elements found throughout this album are extremely annoying, with the introduction of Resurgence Of An Empire and the chugging open string breakdowns found all through the album being the obvious examples. If you want good Cryptopsy listen to Blasphemy Made Flesh, None So Vile, and to a lesser extent; Once Was Not. Needless to say, Cryptopsy fit into the 'bad sell out' category. Most people tend to regard the album is being "Deathcore" or "Technical Deathcore" so I'll compare it as such to their other albums. Its really quite surprising that he was accepted into the band, they even asked for singers with good voices and the ability to sing on key, rather than just any random guy who wants to give it a go, as if to say that the average metalcore voice is too crude... Compared to classics like "None So Vile" and "Whisper Supremacy", this album is a sharp left turn. When you can hear her, she is actually quite good, and funnily enough, all of these decent moments are times when it's a bit quieter, and Matt is either silent, or doing spoken word (which, as cliché as it is, does not sound awful). Basically like a weaker version of the guy from The Faceless. Honestly, its hard to single out just one reason. Originally written for Sputnik Music. Genres: Deathcore. http://www.fromthedustreturned.com. Not too pussified, nice. You really don't. The main difference here is simply how, well... simple the riffs generally are. Les albums de Cryptopsy. McGachy's vocals sound like a lame attempt at death metal growls with some clean vocals that would sound fantastic on a record from any run of the mill alternative rock band. The 47 minute length of this album is almost as despicable as its musical content. Flo's comments about the negative feedback on this album pretty much confirm this - he considers previously loyal fans as idiots for not liking this music, and also considers it as extreme as the band has ever been. Most death metal fans have heard deathcore and typically don't like it. The instrumentation. The clean vocals parrot the same tendencies of the rest of the music and don’t have any structure or symmetry unless you take into account that the whole section is repeated once or twice later on. Forum Index » Music Talk » Metal Discussion. Because of this, his performance is highly controversial and many times dismissed as shitty. 0. It contains a vast, interesting mix of melody, ferocity, technically, and groove. Cryptopsy went from playing extremely technical sounding stuff to something more accessible and as I said before, stripped down. There has been a strong focus on the clean vocals more than anything else. Nowhere near as unhinged or compelling as the Lord Worm records, some are at least intelligent and meaningful (vague, personal or sociopolitical, and very 'deathcore'). 03. Go to page 1, 2 Next. The riffs are generally fairly simple (for Cryptopsy) during the faster parts, but are just downright embarrassing for the breakdowns. Safe for mommy, or your little sister. She's just there for the sake of being there, it seems. Bad vocals, generally sub par riffing, goofy keyboards, and the lack of the beloved Cryptopsy sound easily label this as their worst album. 04. What a bore. The result was The Unspoken King, a great release. The resulting melody, and I use the term extremely loosely here, has no memory grabbing elements, it’s just there and then it’s gone just as soon as the random harshness takes over. The man's a human drum machine, that's for sure. And while keyboardist Maggie Durand is very capable, she is barely used at all on this album, making many a disgruntled Cryptopsy fan wonder why they bothered. La tracklist de The Unspoken King par Cryptopsy : 01. Seriously, they added a synth player. In every respect possible, The Unspoken King is almost completely unlistenable. These really do reduce this band at times to being no heavier than bands like Job For A Cowboy, who have a fake heaviness. These mainstream sellout elements really detract from this album a lot. This adds even more melody and "easy listening" sections to the album. … While I don’t fault any band for wanting to expand their horizons and try something different, the clean vocals in this case just don’t cut it and are simply out of that sort of “comfort zone” for this listener for this band. Metal music is a guitar riff oriented style of music, I don’t care what sub-genre you play in, which rightly justifies any questions as to whether this music even qualifies as metal since riffs take the back seat to lung spewing gibberish and throwing a thousand notes or drum hits into every minute of sound space. Cryptopsy - The Unspoken King (2008) It doesn't at all surprise me that The Unspoken King has received the tidal wave of negative reactions that it has; what DOES throw me for a loop is how a lot of these people act as if it's their first shitty album. What goes on in Area 51? That is not an exaggeration. Worm must be laughing his pants off about how his band couldn’t survive without him. 1. Instead, she does piss all and has her name on the first Craptopsy record. Face it, they’re not going back to the writing style of their first two albums. Congratulations Craptopsy, are you proud of all the new fans you've garnered? There are no good riffs or melodies on here at all, but if you took away the vocals, you'd be left with something that sounds like an uninspired shell of what we all love the band for in the first place. Sure, this album would have benefited from more solos, but really, what's on here already gets the job done just fine. “Worship your demons” takes the cake for being the lamest and most derivative deathcore song I’ve probably heard so far, and might qualify as a b-side to the “Doom” EP that I hope never crosses my ears again. To be honest, his growls aren't too bad. Rated #1543 in the best albums of 2008. I could leave this album on while I wrote my current story, and it would leave no impression at all, except that of faint, wispy annoyance. I guess my reasoning for this decision, along with it being a moot point by now, is that this band isn't Cryptopsy anymore. This is their Cold Lake, except that it's done in an even worse genre. Skip towards the end of the song "Bemoan The Martyr" before it ends, there's this part with lots of blast beats, right before it concludes with the clean singing part. I'd mainly recommend this to a fan of deathcore that is interested in getting into death metal, or any open minded death metal fans who aren't afraid of their favorite bands experimenting a bit. Now, I still have to give credit when it's warranted, the first three songs are merely wet farts in comparison to the rest of the fully fledged turds on the remainder of the album. It was the last album to feature guitarist Alex Auburn and bassist Eric Langlois respectively. Even after "Illud Divinum Insanus" by Morbid Angel came out, which is definitely a sorry excuse for an album, this album is still spoken of with much discontent. Every once in a while, he attempts this punch worthy clean mallcore whining. On, The Unspoken King though, even the drumming has been sacrificed. Mr. Although far from a pleasant listen, this album and the resulting online media circus that has followed has given me a new perspective on the deathcore genre and why it needs to die quickly. As if they knew what they were doing was wrong, and didn't want anybody to know, like a 15 year old boy tying to masturbate in the room adjacent to his sleeping parents. Fortunately the keyboards are practically unnoticeable. Next up to the plate is Mr. Songwriting. The clean vocals sound like Linkin Park's (which I shall refer to as LP from here on in) Chester Bennington and are utilised quite poorly. The worst of the worst on here are most likely Bemoan the Martyr, Anoint the Dead, The Plagued, and Contemplate Regicide, but trust me when I say nothing is remotely good. Maybe not in terms of structure, as that's a stupid thing to bitch about, let alone take time to make an analytical evaluation of such a thing, but in terms of what is in the songs. Although most of the guitar solos are relatively short and reserved in comparison to what normally appears on a technical death metal album, they avoid the pointless 8 second note filler sound of JFAC and actually stick in your head. And as if the performances weren't dull and crappy enough, almost every song is over four minutes, which is way too long for this bullshit music. Finally, I would just like to say as my review says the Unspoken King should remain silent and if you are someone who is new to the death metal scene, please do yourself and all of us a favour and pass up the opportunity to lisen to this record. He doesn't want to scream like a hardcore kid, but he just can't do proper high screams. But given that band, is that possible? The problem is though, that drumming alone cannot save music this bad (though the drum parts do stop a couple of half-decent riffs from being unbelievably shitty ones). It's bad, but I don't think it's as bad as other folks say it is. You don't need to be close minded to realise that this is shit. “The Plagued” isn’t quite as consistent and goes in and out of deathcore sections and more enjoyable melodic death moments, but most of it listens like consistent Into Eternity worship, complete with a less competent than the latter’s vocal harmonization which probably can’t be recreated live. There are reasons I listen to Cryptopsy, and then there are reasons I don't listen to deathcore. Yet for all the shortcomings I've been shedding light upon, it's within the sum of its better aspects that it doesn't complete cave in on itself with its misguided ambitions. However, his voice, unlike most, is not my main complaint with The Unspoken King. Albumi on viimeinen jolla kitaristi Alex Auburn sekä basisti Eric Langlois soittavat. I guess it should be mentioned, that when you write a new album with a band of now 6 people, consisting of a mere three that have been in the band for longer than one album, it becomes hard to hold onto the identity of the band. The music itself is quite a departure from what Cryptopsy normally does. So, basically, The Unspoken King is a piece of shit. And keyboards? His death metal voice is high and resembles the recent trend of death core bands. "The Unspoken King" is Cryptopsy's sixth full-length studio album and definitely their most different effort. I don't listen to deathcore for the unimaginative riffing, groove gone wrong, god awful vocals, copious useless breakdowns, and pretty much every element that is a staple to the genre. Short answer, YES. Also, if you can ignore McGarthy for a second, it’s apparent that the musicians are still capable of playing their instruments to some degree of skill. This is the death of Cryptopsy. Worship Your Demons. Really though, all they had to do was copy old Cryptopsy albums. I've always checked out Cryptopsy albums because of one thing. It’s definitely obvious where Cryptopsy drew inspiration from for this album and even more obvious where they didn’t. Leach. Speaking of those vocals, lets discuss those in more detail since that's what most of everyone is complaining about. Bemoan the Martyr. This album is definitely an easier listen than their prior releases. CM 8495-2; CD). There, now you know my thoughts on this album. Lord Worm was out of the picture, having quit after Once Was Not, and the band now had new vocalist Matt McGachy and keyboardist Maggie Durand on the team. Essentially deathcore is the newly born tyranny of the Prima donna drummer, typified perfectly by the metalcore image and inferiority complex ridden attitude of formerly respectable kit man Flo Mounier. And to be honest? “The Unspoken King” is certainly not their best, but it’s still a good listen, and a worthwhile purchase for true fans that know, understand, and enjoy the band’s back catalog, or for those extreme metal fans that have an open mind and who are able to run with their gut instincts rather than be turned off by that wretched label of “deathcore” assigned to by others. Maggie Durand erotettiin yhtyeestä pian levyn julkaisun jälkeen rahallisista syistä. They grind along at a fairly unassuming pace, way back in the mix and completely harmless, going through rather tired progressions and riffs that I could've sworn were on the first JFAC EP. Most of this album can be summed up by these 20 seconds. The awful dissonant lead guitar harmonies and the lack of Cryptopsy’s trademark style of brutality just don’t sounds like the band should sound. The Plagued. People listen to Cryptopsy because they wanna hear some insanely brutal, 280bpm fast metal with vocals you can hardly understand. There isn’t any harmonization or anything that remotely resembles a chorus/refrain section, and most of the clean vocals are placed at such random intervals that questions as to why the band bothered with them become inevitable. Not as goofy as Mike DiSalvo on And Then You'll Beg, but no more charming either. Although I still enjoy deathcore quite a bit if it's done well. Is it because there are some start-stop riffs? Yeah, maybe he sounds more level than on other records where his fills and performance had a lot more charisma, but this is no more or less than any modern brutal/tech record you'll find out there. There is at least one in every song but usually several. Some are there, sure, as is commonplace within this style, but not quite as overt as many of their one-time contemporaries. As best as I can figure, these guys were trying to emulate just about every current sensation from Job for a Cowboy and Atreyu, to some more respectable outfits such as Into Eternity. Pretty much the only aspects of The Unspoken King which don't disappoint are: a) the cover artwork by Jeik Dion, which is quite atmospheric and by that token has nothing whatsoever to do with the music; and b) the lead guitars, in general well composed and gleaming far above and beyond the vocals or rhythm sections. With The Unspoken King, I was half hoping Lord Worm’s voice would magically revert to the mastery heard on None So Vile and maybe, just maybe, we’d have another worthwhile Cryptopsy album. The new keyboardist, Maggie Durand, serves zero purpose and is only audible four or five times. 0. Clean singing, groove drumming, vocal harmonies, piano parts, guitar riffs that sound like they really belong in alternative metal, weird sound effect tracks between songs (very cool, but out of place) and a myriad of other things. Okay, so normally I don't write bad reviews, but this time I just can't help myself. Is Cryptopsy wishing to pursue an alternative music career and get out of death metal? Apparently there was also a chick in the band at the time, but I literally don't think she recorded on the album, I'm not hearing any keyboards. So what makes this so bad, you ask? Yours, mine, and the poor record store employees that had to expend an iota of effort unpacking and shelving the CD. Or did they just get tired of trying to find a good vocalist for their band? I'll start off by saying I'm by no means a Cryptopsy fan. Truly, if put up against the likes of Emmure, With Blood Comes Cleansing or (...*shudder*...) Oceano, there's really more to this unspoken king than meets the eye. I feel for certain that most death metal purists had no interest. The principle positive element at work here is the guitar soloing and the bass work. Now, to be honest, since WS onwards, song writing has been shunned quite comprehensively by the group. Every single song here feels about twice the length that it really is, and they're all filled TO THE FUCKING BRIM with ear-raping mallcoreish howling, whingy 14-year-old-angst clean vocals, oppressive, blatantly bad deathcore riffs and tons and tons of those fucking drums. It contains numerous elements that were not present in the band's prior efforts, nor their self-titled album from 2012, which was a return to form. A disappointment because I was a fan of everything Cryptopsy had put out in the past, now I’m even embarrassed to say that.
