After nearly 35 years of surgical brutality and zero interest in slowing down, CRYPTOPSY remain one of death metal’s most dangerous institutions. Fresh off a banner year that saw their latest album An Insatiable Violence dominate year-end lists at Decibel, Metal Injection, Banger TV, No Clean Singing and beyond — not to mention shake the Billboard charts — the Canadian legends are kicking the door wide open once again.
In 2026, CRYPTOPSY will headline the Decibel Magazine Tour, marking the tour’s lethal 13th run. The set will pull no punches, celebrating both the reign of An Insatiable Violence and the 30th anniversary of the genre-defining None So Vile, an album so feral it earned permanent residence in Decibel’s Hall Of Fame. Expect a setlist that bridges eras with maximum force: the unhinged precision of the present colliding head-on with the album that helped rewrite death metal’s DNA.
Joining the carnage for all 21 dates are NECROT, FULCI, and BLOOD MONOLITH — a lineup stacked with buzzsaw riffs, corpse-stench atmosphere, and pure underground hostility. This isn’t nostalgia. This is violence with purpose.
Decibel editor-in-chief Albert Mudrian sums it up bluntly: 2026 is peak CRYPTOPSY — a moment where past and present converge at full power. Vocalist Matt McGachy echoes the sentiment, calling the tour “violent, cathartic and unforgettable,” a proper tribute to where the band came from and a clear warning shot about where they are now.
Tickets for the 2026 Decibel Magazine Tour go on sale Friday, January 30 at 10 a.m. local time. Brace accordingly.
