Saw Cryptopsy tonight. Technical death metal masters, much more "brutal" then Opeth, but on the same level of insane talent. Here's what I posted at the Cryptopsy forum.
"I saw Cryptopsy tonight in Dallas, and all I have to say is this:
Unbelievable!
One of the best show's I've been too, and I have to say I now consider Flo the best drummer in metal. That man is unbelievable. To say nothing of the godlike abilities of the rest of the band and the welcome return of Lord Worm's killer vocals. He really breathes new life into the Disalvo era stuff.
Set list:
Intro
Crown Of Horns
Slit Your Guts
Graves Of The Fathers
Dead and Dripping
Benedictine Convulsions
Phobophile
LichMistress
Orgiastic Disembowlment
Drum Solo
Open Face Surgery
Cold Hate Warm Blood
We Bleed
Encore:
Back To The Worms
As you can probably tell, it was an amazing show. They played all of None So Vile, in order, start to finish, which was awesome. All the songs had all the solos totally intact, no one missed a note, ever, and I think Flo was adding stuff here and there. During Orgiastic, Worm was whipping himself with his mic cord on the back, chest, and groin, lmao. Then during the encore he came out with a chalice, and was letting people drink from it. Hell yeah.
Flo's solo was even better then I expected, it put his "None So Live" solo to shame, and was perhaps the best drumming I've ever seen, and I've been to a lot of shows. Incredible stuff.
I saw them in a tiny little club, only held a max of 230 people, it was long and narrow with a tiny, short stage, less then hip-high. Worm was grabbing peoples heads and stuff.
After the show the guys came out and stood around the Merch table, which was really cool, I got to meet them and got them to sign my Canada Live 2004 CD. They're all really cool guys.
Thanks a lot guys for a great show, and the autographs.
Hail Cryptopsy.
Oh yeah. I'm pretty worn out right now so I might have mixed up the order on the last few songs or left something out, so if you got any questions, lemme know."
