With their latest album, An Insatiable Violence, out and a recent UK tour celebrating the 30th Anniversary of None So Vile completed, Canadian Technical Death Metal legends Cryptopsy return this year again with their Malicious & Vile Summer 2026.
An Insatiable Violence was dubbed a serious contender for their best yet across their 31-year discography by MetalTalk at its release in June 2025.
“We had to write the majority of An Insatiable Violence while on the Death to All tour, which was something we’d never done before,” vocalist Matt McGachy said. “Flo [Mounier, drums] and Chris [Donaldson, guitar] really put their hats on. It was a feat.”
Ever since COVID our focus is clearer,” Mounier said. “A lot of work gets done faster, and we push each other to get it done.”
Frequently cited by Death Metal fans as one of the most extreme and seminal records the genre has ever produced, None So Vile is 31 minutes of unrelenting intensity that reshaped the boundaries of Technical Brutal Death Metal.
“The album left a lasting mark on me when I first heard it,” MetalTalk’s Matty Hunter wrote at the January 2026 Manchester Academy gig. “I was blown away and quickly understood the hype. It is firmly my favourite Death Metal record, and as a huge Cryptopsy fan, seeing a show on this tour was a must. So I travelled down from Newcastle for it.”
A busy summer finds Cryptopsy kicking off their tour in July in Europe, with three dates in the UK before they hit the stage at Bloodstock Open Air.
Full dates are below, including a number of Festivals across Europe. Tickets and full tour details are available from lnk.to/CRYPTOPSY-EUROPESUMMER26.
