About
Whisper Supremacy is the third studio album by Canadian technical death metal band Cryptopsy. It is the first album to feature vocalist Mike DiSalvo and the only album to feature guitarist Miguel Roy. On the US release the band logo is in the upper left, whereas on the German (European) release it is larger and centred. Whisper Supremacy has been described as a progressive death metal album. The album's mix has been described as "all vocals and drums," and the guitar riffs have been said to be "often buried under Flo Mounier's furious blast beats and ferocious double bass drumming". Daniel Gioffre of AllMusic suggested that the riffs "aren't the focal point," of the album so much as "Cryptopsy's desire for aural devastation." The album demonstrates brief instances of melody. Levasseur's lead guitar playing technique has been described as "conventional," though the album has been noted for its progressive elements. Mike DiSalvo – vocals Jon Levasseur – guitars Miguel Roy – guitars Eric Langlois – bass guitar Flo Mounier – drums, backing vocals Lord Worm – additional backing vocals on "Cold Hate, Warm Blood" and "Loathe".
