As Gomorrah Burns - Gold & Black Galaxy, Cryptopsy, LP

Death metal juggernaut Cryptopsy return to pummel our collective senses anew with their new album, As Gomorrah Burns. Their first for Nuclear Blast, the Montreal-based quartet-featuring founding member/drummer Flo Mounier, guitarist Christian Donaldson, vocalist Matt McGachy, and bassist Olivier "Oli" Pinard-advance their signature Northern power as they celebrate 30-plus years of extremity. The merciless blasts of "Lascivious Undivine" and "Flayed the Swine" offer Cryptopsy at their most intense and maniacal, while "In Abeyance" and "The Righteous Lost" groove savagely. As Gomorrah Burns underscores the animus of fan-favorite None So Vile (1996) and the meticulous technicality of And Then You'll Beg (2000) with a strikingly sinister vibe.
