Flo Mounier<\/strong> isn’t one for reflection. But when you pass 35 years of death metal excellence, remaining on top of your game after nine albums and countless world tours, looking back is part of the process.<\/span><\/p>\n The Montreal native, who celebrated his 50th<\/sup> birthday last June, touched base with Metal Injection ahead of the release of Cryptopsy<\/strong>‘s vicious new album An Insatiable Violence<\/em>, which ratchets the band’s intensity to an all-time high with brutal cuts like “Malicious Needs” and “Until There’s Nothing Left”.<\/span><\/p>\n “We are always pushing each other, of course,” Mounier<\/strong> shared during Cryptopsy<\/strong>‘s recent European tour. “Yeah, let’s go for it. Let’s go for a ride. That’s it. That drive. Let us push this to 240. No, let us push it even faster. You understand what I mean? Yeah, that’s what we do. That’s life. That’s music. That’s all it is, brother.”<\/span><\/p>\n For Metal Injection<\/em>‘s band of the month for June 2025, the road to album nine and immortal status amongst tech death purists began in the late 80s in Cryptopsy<\/strong>‘s native Quebec. Reflecting on that time and the group’s lauded debut album Blasphemy Made Flesh<\/em>, the hows, what’s and why’s are of little significance to Mounier<\/strong>, who instead chooses to remember his bandmates who helped a then-teenage kid cut his teeth in extreme metal.<\/span><\/p>\n \n
