Whisper Supremacy by Cryptopsy w/ Joe McGlynn from Man Must Die and Go Down Fighting - 356

Download

Once upon a time Man Must Die released two albums on Relapse Records and toured an absolute shit load. I actually remember when they toured with Machine Head, which is a fairly impressive thing for any metal band to achieve.

Man Must Die were a death metal band, and in some quarters they were even called a technical death metal band. A term that vocalist, and our good pal, Joe disputes. And with good reason - technical death metal isn't really his bag.

However, he does love Cryptopsy, and he has an extensive knowledge of death metal. And metal in general, really.

So this week we thought it'd be a good idea to ask him to come along to talk about Cryptopsy, get his take on the various sub genres of death metal and to generally shoot the shit about a truly technical death metal band.
