Guitarist Alex Auburn of the Canadian death metallers CRYPTOPSY has confirmed to BLABBERMOUTH.NET that the band has once again parted ways with singer Lord Worm (a.k.a. Dan Greening). No reason was given for Lord Worm's departure, but according to Auburn, this time the vocalist was "kicked out" of the band and didn't leave of his own accord.

CRYPTOPSY is currently looking to audition candidates to fill the positions of singer/frontman and keyboardist/samplist. Vocalists must be able to sing in clean voice, on pitch, and also be able to scream/growl. If you are motivated and would like to try out, e-mail the band at crymusic@hotmail.com. If you have a criminal record, don't bother auditioning, as this means you can't tour.

CRYPTOPSY's last studio album, "Once Was Not", was released in 2005 via Century Media Records.

I don't know if I can believe it just yet. This has to be a joke, why would they kick him out? A sad day indeed.

dude, they kicked him out once before.

my concern is if they are going to include more clean singing
~gR~

 

[I-Oblivion-I]

No why would they kick him out???? Him and flo are like the two trademarks of cryptopsy! I'm also concerned about the clean vocals part as well, they do not belong in death metal!!

~gR~

yeah I know they did before...

Clean vocals? I really liked Lord Worm, better than DiSalvo, too bad he's gone.
On a side note, are any of you going to try out for Cryptopsy? I can growl most deifnitely and scream but clean singing? Fuck!

 

[genocide roach]

i could clean sing. but i dont live in canada hehe
~gR~

 

[~Derek~]

I don't either but I think I'll e-mail just to hear what they say.

 

[hibernal_dream]

I can't sing, scream or growl but i'm sure I could do better than Lord Worm (not a huge fan)

 

[EmbraceTheDeath]

wow this sucks. they better find a better replacement than disalvo.

 

[zim18]

fuck lord worm, he doesnt compare to mike disalvo

 

[genocide roach]

fuck lord worm, he doesnt compare to mike disalvo

neither of em are great, but id take lord worm of a guy who shouts
~gR~

 

[cookiecutter]

My guess is that they are moving towards metalcore (clean singing ) and Lord Worm didn't agree. Or Lord Worm might be a dick.

 

[genocide roach]

well, the last album did get kinda soft
~gR~

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

worm is a horrible vocalist

 

[Susperia]

[Pessimism]

You fail.

I'm pretty sure it's this. I saw an interview with the band just after Lord Worm rejoined, and Lord Worm was pretty up-front and blatant about saying (in a promotional article, nonetheless) that he didn't really care about the music, and only came back because the band offered him more money than he was making by working regularly. Maybe they got sick of that attitude.

Yeah, the Terrorizer interview. Not really fussed either way - tbh I've never seen what the fuss is with this band.
