An Insatiable Violence - Digipak CD

A person spends all day building a machine, only to have it torture them all night. As if that weren't twisted enough, they like it. In fact, they like being tortured so much that in the morning they wake up rejuvenated, eager to tweak the machine until it runs perfectly in their minds.

This is the nocturnal vision that inspired CRYPTOPSY's ninth full-length nightmare. "Beware the spotlight," warns singer Matt McGachy, before "Dead Eyes Replete" flashes before your eyes with a skull-crushing breakdown. An Insatiable Violence' mirrors our toxic relationship with social media, but while eerily prescient, the album is influenced by the many mutations that have defined the band's hall of fame discography. Inspired by a mukbang gone horribly wrong, ravenous opener 'The Nimis Adoration' is a smorgasbord of gut-busting blasts, Christian Donaldson's fishhook riffs and a heavy dose of pit-pleasing groove.
