Cryptopsy is a Canadian extreme metal/avant-garde death metal quintet from Montreal, Quebec. Originally they were known as Necrosis when they started in 1992. They are currently signed to Century Media. The band's 1996 release, "None So Vile", is considered to be landmark technical death metal album. Cryptopsy drew praise and criticism alike for their change of singers and gravitation towards a more jazz/progressive influenced style with later albums. They now stand to be considered a defining point of extreme music's proficiency in technique and originality. Cryptopsy released their fourth full length studio album in 2000 - ...And Then You'll Beg and currently have a new album lined up to be released around the summer of 2005.
