Free Music Review: More quality stuff from the tech-death masters
Hit: 5 Stars
This legendary Canadian quintet has always been about making quality metal, and you should be ashamed of yourself if you thought their fourth full length would be any different. 2000's "...And Then You'll Beg" is the cream of the crop when it comes to type of music; it's nine songs and less than forty extreme minutes of undisputedly great technical death metal. Nobody would even dare to challenge this album until Suffocation released "Souls To Deny" several years later (in 2004). Cryptopsy first proved themselves to the world that they are definitely unparalleled when it comes to technical metal on 1996's "None So Vile," and they continue to prove themselves here, with complex song structures, blinding tempos, and ridiculous musicianship (which is especially showcased by the unbelievable drumming from the iconic Flo Mounier).
This record is one which is about as fulfilling and rewarding as you'll come by (in any type of music), and it also may become very addictive. Plus, these songs are very punishing, brutal, uncompromising, and lightning fast assaults on the listener's ear drums. Therefore, this album is definitely appropriately titled, because once you hear even the first track, you'll do one of two things: beg for mercy or beg for more.
"...And Then You'll Beg" begins with an instant genre classic: "...And Then It Passes" fires out of the starting gate with an immensely heavy, steamrolling rhythm and fiery, churning riffs bolstered by a driving blast beat. The drumming on this song is so fast, it sounds like Flo almost has to restrain himself, fight to avoid dominating the rhythm section, and he very nearly tramples over/upstages the guitar lead. And then, of course, added on top of all of this is Mike DiSalvo's famous, schizophrenic vocals.
Other album highlights include the speaker-shaking "We Bleed," which anchors careening guitar leads with more insane, pounding death metal blasts, and two nice, very unexpectedly melodic guitar solos crop up to conclude the song. Song number four, "My Prodigal Son," is almost giga-heavy, since it boasts pounding, cascading power chords and a raw, swift, walloping snare drum. Despite having several different tempos, the majority of the next song after that, "Shroud," flies by at a downright blistering, breakneck speed, and "Equivalent Equilibrium" features more scorching guitar shredding and catchy, relentless drumming to boot. Lastly, "Back to the Worms" is a little different than the seven tracks that came before it (and the one track that comes after it), because it's centered around a very slow breakdown. But it's just a matter of time before this song speeds up greatly, thanks to its blazing riffs and airtight double kick work.
Anybody who knows a whit about death metal should definitely already be well aware that anything released under Cryptopsy's name (including "...And Then You'll Beg") should be heralded as one of the genre's defining, standard bearing, and best exercises in very intense, uncompromisingly brutal, extremely tight, completely satisfying, inhumanly talented, and utterly confusing and complex musical brilliance.
