Cryptopsy -- Montreal, Quebec -- November 23rd, 2012

[VoidFlame]

Venue: Club Soda
Opening band: Death Lullaby

I'm not in the mood to write a review, but the show was sick. Every band was brutal (except maybe Death Lullaby, since I missed them) and the pits were violent. Unbreakable Hatred and Ion Dissonance suffered from a muddy sound mix, but it all got fixed for the two last, and best, bands. Cryptopsy gave one of the most face ripping performances I've seen; definitely their best I've witnessed so far. The exclusion of "Slit Your Guts" was wierd, but with "Crown of Horns", "Graves of the Fathers" and the Blasphemy Made Flesh medley (which was pretty long and included riffs from "Defenestration", "Abigor", "Open Face Surgery" and others), I couldn't complain. Matt's vocals have greatly improved too, he adapted very well to the different Cryptopsy eras and he sounded fucking furious. It was a great, fun, all local concert.

I don't know Revenge that much, but I'm going to start listening to them before MDF. Plus, it was 40$ vs. 15$... I'm not that rich.

Ah, I didn't know you were going to MDF.

Yeah, that was what made the balance tip towards Cryptopsy. I regret nothing, the show was fun as hell

They're still playing Worship Your Demons? Now they're just being stubborn.
