Cryptopsy Announce Second Book of Suffering EP, Drop New Single
The title of Cryptopsy’s last EP, 2015’s The Book of Suffering – Tome I, suggested that there would be a, y’know, second tome. Today, Cryptopsy have finally made good on that promise with the announcement that Tome II will drop on October 26. The cover art is below. I know very little about the rate at which a human corpse decays, but that may be the same lady from the cover of Tome I. I guess if there’s a Tome III and the cover is just a pile of dirt we’ll know for sure.
ANYWAY, Tome II‘s first single is called “Sire of Sin.” You can check out via the Chris Kells-helmed video below. I’ve blasted it a few times now, and TBH, the first listen wasn’t that satisfying, but now I’m loving it. I mean, that elephants marching riff at 3:32 is fuckin’-A++++ WDBWA. So if the track doesn’t grab you right away, maybe give it some time.
Tome Deux pre-orders are here.
