FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Matt McGachy of Cryptopsy Talks An Insatiable Violence , 30 Years of None So Vile , and the 2026 Decibel Tour

Death metal fans, get ready— Matt McGachy of Cryptopsy tore into an exclusive interview on The Zach Moonshine Show at Metal Devastation Radio, giving listeners a front-row seat to the past, present, and future of one of death metal’s most extreme bands.

From the crushing new album An Insatiable Violence to the upcoming 2026 Decibel Magazine Tour, Matt delivered insight, humor, and exclusives that fans won’t want to miss.

A Year of Extreme Metal Chaos

Reflecting on the past year, Matt said: “Our European tour with 200 Stab Wounds and Fury and Corpse Pile celebrating the 30th anniversary of None So Vile —31 shows in 31 days, 15 sold out—was insane. Death metal is alive and thriving. It’s nonstop energy, everywhere we go.”

Highlights included back-to-back shows in Tokyo, long-awaited performances in Australia, and crushing U.S. dates with Nile . Matt emphasized how fan energy fuels the band: “Every show is a gift. After everything that’s happened in the past few years, I try to appreciate every moment, every fan, and every stage. That’s what keeps us going.”

Legacy Meets Relevance

Cryptopsy isn’t just living in their legacy. Landing a second cover with Decibel Magazine in under a year proves the band remains vital in extreme metal.

“Decibel has always been a beacon for extreme music. To be featured again shows that Cryptopsy is more than just a legacy band—we’re relevant, we’re still extreme, and we’re still evolving,” Matt said.

The band’s Juno Award nomination for An Insatiable Violence also underscores their impact. “Unlike the Grammys, the Junos actually recognize extreme metal. That’s huge for us,” he added.

Exclusive: Cryptopsy’s Next-Level Decibel Tour

Matt dropped an exclusive on the 2026 Decibel Tour: Cryptopsy is stepping up production like never before. A permanent lighting designer and a full visual stage experience will transform their shows.

“We want fans to leave saying, ‘What did I just witness?’” Matt said. While they’ll honor None So Vile , the band is mixing in new material to create a balanced set that celebrates both legacy and current work.

“We are more than a legacy band. We respect the legacy, but we’re creating something alive and current,” he emphasized.

Fans, Phones, and All-Ages Shows

Matt also discussed fan interaction, technology at live shows, and the importance of all-ages concerts:

“These kids have the stamina to pit through an entire set, and it’s amazing to see the next generation of metalheads embracing the scene.”

He even shared a hilarious on-stage moment: grabbing a fan’s phone mid-song and screaming into it. “It turns a moment of distraction into a memory for life,” he said.

Looking Forward

From celebrating 30 years of None So Vile to touring the U.S. and Canada, Cryptopsy is proving death metal isn’t just music—it’s an experience. Fans can catch them on the Decibel Tour and at the Metal and Beer Fest in Philly, complete with an exclusive craft beer collab from Atlanta.

“We want fans to have a sensory, unforgettable experience. That’s what the 2026 Decibel Tour is all about,” Matt promised.
