Cryptopsy announce new album ‘As Gomorrah Burns’
CRYPTOPSY have announced a new album!
Titled As Gomorrah Burns, the upcoming album from the veteran Canadian technical death metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2012’s self-titled effort, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, making their label debut at new home Nuclear Blast Records.
Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Matt McGachy says, “I’m excited to finally unveil As Gomorrah Burns. It’s an album that we have been crafting for the past five years. A meticulous endeavor that we are proud of. It’s the perfect medley of oldschool CRYPTOPSY with a few modern twists. We’ve leaned heavily into the grooves and let some of the riffs breathe just a little more than we have on the past few releases. I’m really stoked about the new era of CRYPTOPSY.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; In Abeyance. The new music video was directed by Chris Kells [THE AGONIST, BENEATH THE MASSACRE].
Speaking about the new song, McGachy says, “In Abeyance is conceptually about feeling isolated while being submerged in a new environment. The hunt for a sense of belonging while mourning a previous life. Musically, it’s a slap in the face. It’s a banger that appears to be straightforward yet remains ultra complex.”
