Making a splash on the Montreal death metal scene with their 1993 demo Ungentle Exhumation, Cryptopsy were immediately recognized in Europe after signing to Germany's Invasion Records the following year. Consisting of vocalist Lord Worm, guitarists Jon Levasseur and Miguel Roy, bassist Eric Langlois and drummer Flo Mounier, the band released their first album Blasphemy Made Flesh on the aforementioned label, followed by a Canadian supporting tour.
