CRYPTOPSY release uncensored version of “Malicious Needs” video

30 years since they first donned metal’s crown of horns, CRYPTOPSYremain insatiable as ever. The Montreal legends’ latest album, “An Insatiable Violence”, received their second nomination for Best Metal/Hard Music Album at this year’s JUNO Awards, a category they won two years ago. Now, as they prepare to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their Decibel Hall of Fame inducted album, “None So Vile”, with a headlining run on this year’s Decibel Magazine Tour, CRYPTOPSY are proving once more why they are the vilest band in death metal.

Today, CRYPTOPSY are releasing the uncensored version of the music video for “Malicious Needs”, the second single and harrowing finale of “An Insatiable Violence”. While initially labelled too vile for unfiltered consumption on YouTube, the uncensored video fully reveals the explicit desires feeding our digital fantasies.

‘Malicious Needs’ is the last song that we wrote for An Insatiable Violence and right away, we were all completely enamored with it,” vocalist Matt McGachy says. “We are thrilled to finally unleash the fully uncensored version of the video, which brings the dystopian horror story behind our latest album writhing and screaming into the light! Come see us perform this song during our headline set on this year’s Decibel Magazine Tour, which starts this month!
