Cyptopsy are currently putting the finishing touches on their first in a series of EP’s entitled The Book of Suffering: Tome 1 backed by a crowdfunding campaign to aid in the financing of the project.

The Book of Suffering: Tome 1 is the group's second release as an independent entity after their split with long time record label Century Media, who have been working with the band since their breakout record None So Vile in 1996. Their tenure with Century Media yielded 5 studio albums, one live and one Best Of release over the course of 16 years.  

A clip for The Book Of Suffering: Tome 1 featuring members of Annihilator, The Devin Townsend Band, Cattle Decapitation, Disgorge, Soreption, Dimmu Borgir and more can be seen below:

The band previously released a 45-second teaser video for their forthcoming EP, The Book Of Suffering: Tome 1. Tome 1 is the first in a planned series of EPs collectively titled The Book of Suffering. Check out the teaser video below:

Three years after their self-titled album, Cryptopsy will release a series of EPs entitled The Book of Suffering. This approach will allow the band to put out new music more often while remaining true to their standards of quality.

Cryptopsy's crowdfunding campaign is open with exclusive t-shirts, girly tank tops, hoodies, CDs and vinyls. In addition to the more traditional merchandise, they are offering signed Flo Mounier cymbals, online lessons with each band member, guest performances and a song mix by their guitarist and sound engineer Chris Donaldson. For those who are interested in memorabilia, they are offering stage banners that have been used since 2012. Cryptopsy's $20,000 goal will fund the recording, mixing and mastering of The Book of Suffering Tome 1, as well as produce artwork, a music video and stage banners. Additional rewards such as a play-through video, a tour documentary and more music will be unlocked for all backers if they surpass their goal.

Cryptopsy have stated: "We hope that every extreme metal fan will be exposed to The Book of Suffering Tome 1. We are extremely proud of the material; it is some of the most brutal, technical and fresh music we have ever created."
