jesus h christ.....Athiest!





Oh, just seen what I did there

[Squigs]

I wonder are modern Cryptopsy up to much live. The new album got a lot of hype on social media, but it was shite generic death metal to my ears. Would love to see them rip through BMF/NSV/WS stuff.

I saw them playing NSV in full a few years back and it was great. The stuff since the Unspoken King has been ok nothing special but not terrible either. No interest in Atheist myself but I will most likely head along to see Cryptopsy.

It says 'Blasphemy' in the tour name. Next year will be 30-the anniversary of Blasphemy Made Flesh, so we can expect at least a couple of songs from that album I guess.

[Squigs]

Never copped the tour name, that's a good point.

Where was that show, Mick? Toronto?

[Trev]

Atheist special set celebrating Piece of Time, Unquestionable Presence and Elements? So all their albums except Jupiter then

Yeah it was the North American 20th Anniversary tour for the album then they played 5 or 6 other songs after the album. It would be great if this was a Blasphemy in full tour.

Looks like this is a co-headline tour and not just Cryptopsy supporting.

[Necro Red]

Cool, I've never seen Atheist. When was the last time they played here out of curiosity? Seen Cryptopsy a bunch of times. I'm not mad on their stuff post Lord Worm. Still cracking live though.

[Bürggermeister]

I think the last Atheist gig here was 2010. Last time I saw Cryptopsy was 2003, I think, possibly a year or two later, they played the Music Centre? There were worms for all. Can't say I'd be interested in going if Atheist weren't playing.

They played Temple Bar in the summer of 06 August I think that was the only time I saw them with Lord Worm. I think they also played in Dublin the year before on the Once Was Not tour it was one of those Saturday all day shows that had 8 or 9 bands similar to the gig with Pungent Stench and Grave that was an all dayer in Whelans back in 05.

they played the music centre with Grave,Versania,Dew scented and Aborted.Saw them in Cork with Gorerotted another time too,both in 06 i think.

Yeah that sounds right the Pungent Stench show just had a load of Irish bands on it now that I think of it. I am nearly sure Cryptopsy played in 05 and 06. I remember not going to the 05 show as I didn't know enough material then was delighted when they came back the next year as I had got really into them. I think the 06 show was August because I had just got back from Wacken when it was on.

I wish DME never got rid of that previous gigs section that use to be on the old Emerald Promotions site along with the photos from each show. With all the e-tickets only shows shite especially over the last decade it is very hard to even remember what bands you saw and where you saw them.

Edit: Yes you were right they played Dublin in Feb 06 which was the Grave show and looks like that was the first time they ever played in Ireland then again in August 2006 in An Cruiscin Lan and Dublin. Those were the only times Lord Worm played here. That was a rare thing even still today to have a biggish band like that play in Ireland twice in the one year.
