Canadian extreme-metal legends CRYPTOPSY have revealed their depraved, merciless new single, Flayed the Swine. Found on the band’s first full-length album in over a decade, As Gomorrah Burns, that’s out September 8 from Nuclear Blast Records, the influential death-dealer’s latest single, Flayed the Swine, is an accessible yet face-melting track that takes listeners down a dark and demented path to madness. In true CRYPTOPSY fashion, the track is accompanied by a horrific, blood-soaked video that will only fuel viewers’ nightmares.
Commenting on the new single, vocalist Matt McGachy says: “‘Flayed the Swine’ is one of the catchiest Cryptopsy songs I have ever written. It is brutal, filled with massive groove sections and extremely vulgar. Lyrically, it concentrates on a mental breakdown, an utter loss of control. We all have dark intentions, but we rarely act upon them. The protagonist by the end of the track most certainly wishes they hadn’t.”
