Cryptopsy Release Filthy Bass Playthrough
Posted on June 16, 2025
More information about An Insatiable Violence
Just one year after winning a Canadian Grammy, this week, Cryptopsy are officially back with their eerily prescient ninth album. As the most vile band in death metal prepare to tear into An Insatiable Violence, today, their filthy bass player Oli Pinard is releasing a sharp and shiny new playthrough for lead single “Until There’s Nothing Left”.
Armed with his trusty Spector 5-string, the fleet-fingered Pinard slaps, slides and smacks through the brutal groove of this delicious earworm from An Insatiable Violence. Feast your eyes on his deadly fretwork by peeping the playthrough over at Metal Injection, who recently named Cryptopsy their Artist of the Month.
“It’s a tribute to my bass heroes: Steve Harris, Geddy Lee and Steve DiGiorgio”, Pinard says about his playing on “Until There’s Nothing Left”. “I had the idea for the middle part of the song for a long time now. I wrote it during the pandemic without knowing if it would make the cut somewhere. But when I showed my ideas to the guys during one of our writing sessions out on the road, [Christian] Donaldson put his filter on my riffs and made the magic happen!”
The official bass playthrough for “Until There’s Nothing Left” was filmed by Emmanuel Pronovost (@Neokosmos) with assistance from audio engineer Dominic Grimard.
Oli Pinard uses Spector Bass, EMG Pickups, Darkglass Electronics, Neural DSP and Ernie Ball strings.
An Insatiable Violence comes out this Friday, June 20 on Season of Mist.
