Background information about 'Blasphemy Made Flesh'

Fresh off their exhumation from the Canadian underground, Cryptopsy officially came writhing and screaming into the world of extreme metal with their instant classic debut in 1994. While only their first crack at a full-length, "Blasphemy Made Flesh" already bore the marks of the most vile band in death metal. "Defenestration" slits the album wide open at the command of drummer Flo Mounier, who blasts and beats his kit with unhinged precision. Adding lead axe man Jon Levasseur sharpened the thrashing riffs and hellacious, technical solos of soon-to-be setlist staple "Open Face Surgery". But despite the professional studio sound, somehow inimitable vocalist Lord Worm had grown even more depraved since their ungentle demos.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of "Blasphemy Made Flesh", Cryptopsy added two Satanic goodies to this reissue. The second disc showcases a 1995 live set that the band recorded during a tour stop in Regina, which includes a surprise Slayer cover and early cuts of songs that would later appear on "None So Vile". The end of the first disc features a brand new 8-minute album medley with guest vocals from members of Shadow of Intent, Stabbing, Undeath, Carcosa, Emasculator and a blistering solo from two-times Grammy winner and mega Cryptopsy fan Billy Strings.
