MB Classics: Cryptopsy - None So Vile

Trollheart · 03-05-2018, 05:18 AM

I've listened to this a few times, never got it. Based on the respect Batty and others have for it, I'm going to give it another go this week, but don't expect miracles. Still, you never know: pussies very occasionally become tigers.

Is it because the guitar riffs ain’t catchy enough?

If you can like death metal now then just put one song on repeat for a while until it starts making sense (I'd suggest "Slit Your Guts", but any one of them would be nearly as good). If it's all going by in a haze then it's not going to mean anything, but when you can start making the riffs and their textures out then there's not a single album like it afaik. Music that brutal and immediate while having that kind of layered textures may or may not exist and you'd be missing out on everything that is death metal if you just played it once and declared defeat yet again.

No; I'm going to run it once a day and see if it makes any difference to how I originally perceived it by the end of that run. We'll see how it goes.
