CRYPTOSY
ONCE WAS NOT

AND ON THE THIRD DAY GOD DISINTEGRATED EVERYTHING IF A POWERFUL MAN WERE TO MANIFEST IN A MUSICAL FORM ON THIS PLANET, THE FORM IT WOULD TAKE WOULD BE EITHER THAT OF MESHUGGAH OR CRYPTOPSY. MUSICALLY BOTH DIFFERENT FROM THEMSELVES, THESE TWO MONSTERS HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON: A METALLIC MADNESS THAT MAKES THEM SEEM LIKE DEADLY TRUE WAR MACHINES PREPARED FOR THE TOTAL ANNIHILATION OF THE LISTENER. CRYPTOPSY PERFECT THEIR DEATH METAL ALBUM BY ALBUM UNTIL THEY REACH PERFECTION IN THEIR LATEST ALBUMS. MUSICALLY, ONCE WAS NOT IS A PUNCH IN THE STOMACH, THE SONGS ARE A TECHNICAL MASSACRE ON THE EDGE OF JAZZ. LEADING EVERYTHING IS THE DRUMMING OF FLO MOUNIER, WHICH AS USUAL IS SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY, SEEMING LIKE A DEMON THAT SEEMS TO HAVE COME TO DISINTEGRATE US INTO PIECES LIKE CARRIONSHINE, AN IMPLACABLE TECHNIQUE THAT, WHILE SHOWING LESS DESTRUCTIVE, HOWEVER, PRIVILEGES THE IMPACTFUL TECHNICALITY. IF WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT PERFECTION INSTEAD, THIS RECORD WAS FOR THE LONGTIME FANS THAT MARKS THE RETURN OF LORD WORM ON VOCALS, WHO MEANWHILE WENT ON TO TEACH AT A SCHOOL AND WAS IMMORTALIZED IN HISTORIC ALBUMS. THE SINGER ENTERED HISTORY FOR ONE OF THE CRAZIEST GROWLS IN HISTORY. HIS RETURN MEANS A LOT TO DEATH METAL LOVERS. THE RESULT?? MASTERPIECE.

I BELIEVE THIS IS THE BAND'S BEST ALBUM AND ONE OF THE PILLARS OF BRUTAL DEATH METAL.
