Cryptopsy fires Lord Worm

2007-04-23 by Mikesn EMERITUS | 21 Comments
Canadian technical death metal band Cryptopsy has kicked out vocalist Lord Worm (Dan Greening). No reason was given for his firing. This is the second time Lord Worm has parted ways with Cryptopsy, the first being in 1997 when he left to teach ESL (English as a second language).

Crpytopsy is currently looking to hold auditions for a new vocalist (as well as a keyboardist/samplist). Interestingly, the band is requesting that candidates be able so sing clean vocals to go along with the traditional grunts/screams of the genre. To try out for the band you can send an email to crymusic@hotmail.com. Those with criminal records need not apply.

well, his voice was outstanding but the whole 'ruh ruh' peed me off big time, Shame tho, maybe they should get corpsegrinder from cannibal corpse (however impossible that may be). Clean vocals as well? metalcore?:S I hope not

Lord Worm isn't nearly as good as he used to be.

All their other vocalists have sucked though.

Yeh, that is kind of true, but he is still a great vocalist.

That's kind of sucky. I mean, the main the reason why I like Cryptopsy is because of Lord Worms vocals. That's probably why I didn't like their mid-period.

They should keep Lord Worm and add a keyboardist who is able to do clean singing.

This really sucks, Lord Worm explained why his performance on Once Was Not was why it was, and they're in the middle of working on a possible double-album.

My expectations have just been shattered.

Worm is overrated anyway, and I don't care for Cryptopsy in the slightest outside a few songs.

although I want to know why he was kicked out. I want all the juicy gossip of the Death Metal world!This Message Edited On 04.24.07
