Not only do they play at an insaine speed, the shit they play whilst maintaining said speed is just not right. You will need at least a year of listening to them before your ear has adjusted to the style and you actually start picking up on things they're doing. It took me a full year of listening to "Whisper Supremacey", I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it either. Then one day, god know's why(it must have been from other shit I was getting into at the time), I found that I awoke and decided I wanted to give Cryptopsy a listen again. I remember this day as if it was yesterday, and I also remember saying out loud. What the fuck was I thinking, these guys are spastic!!! I've been into em ever since. I still pick up on little things in their songs that I had managed to miss the previous 500 listens. Some of the patterns the drummer plays are incredibally techo, same goes for bass lines and guitar lines. There is some truly fucked up shit going on in the music of Cryptopsy. As I said...... if you haven't really listened to em before, I wouldn't expect that you'd be way into it from the start. But if you are prepared to listen to one of their albums at least once every few weeks I garauntee one day the pin will drop, and they'll make total sense. Cryptopsy is an aquired taste.
Other than that, as mentioned previousley definately check out Martyr, totally techo from what I've heared of them. And also definately Emperor, but it's their last 2 albums that are the most technical, and experimental.
