Bionic Swarm is an excellent name for the third Cryptosis outing, and the first since changing their name from Distillator. The rush of their energetic, aggressive thrash metal sounds exactly like the flurry of insects you would imagine coming out of an irked hive, yet the precision and commanding technicality of the performances carries a certain mechanistic intelligence that mere biology can’t quite describe. A good few bands have sprung up in the Vektor mould over the past several years, with Cryptosis standing out as one of few willing to write brief, punchy songs that still carry a strong conceptual arc and pack in technical features. That puts them far adrift from Cryptic Shift’s 25 minute tracks and, despite the name change bringing the 2 outfits into close proximity, Cryptosis should pick up more regular thrash fans as a result.
