And? It still sounds like a bunch Annihilation b-sides, minus the good.

"In There Darkened Shrines" is still there best in my opinion.

As for Ithyphallic and Annihilation of the Wicked... I haven't heard "The Unspoken King" yet, so I couldn't say which is better. I've only heard one song from the album, and it wasn't so bad.

Ithyphallic was terrible, it's was like older Nile, but gutless.

Why the hell are people comparing The Unspoken King to Nile? Just wondering, no one could seriously debate whether there are any Nile albums worse than the Cryptopsy one, could they?

interview with Auburn, probably late 08/early 09 before he left.

Just a warning, it's hard to read because the writer of the article obviously does not understand who he's interviewing.

It is a pretty lame interview, but it does bring to mind some interesting points about bands like Cryptopsy who have created classics and then gone on to not live up to their potential. It says a lot about the fans, especially. We fans have an apt appreciation of their good music, but to them, it's just their music. Just a difference in perceptions, I suppose. What we see in Lord Worm is brutality and uniqueness and charisma, but the band looks at the more technical side and tells us that he was a bit hard to work with, and that he fucked up a lot live. Stuff that we didn't know about.

Of course that doesn't justify the "we're just trying to be DIFFERENT" shit. That's just weak. Shitty music is still shitty music.

not to mention auburn's accent is probably real thick and it seems to not have translated well haha.

EVERY fucking picture is of Lord Worm.

EDIT: They fixed it.
