Cryptopsy is a Canadian death metal band from Montreal, formed in 1988.
Canadian death/thrash metal band Necrosis was formed in April 1988 by drummer Mike Atkin, guitarist Steve Thibault and vocalist Dan "Lord Worm" Greening, initially under the name Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. John Todds later joined on bass.
Atkin left the band and was replaced by Flo Mounier, at which time the band rebranded under the name Cryptopsy, where the members collectively wanted to play even heavier material. Todds left shortly thereafter, retiring from music to focus on his family; he was replaced by Kevin Weagle; Dave Galea also joined the band.
