There have been plenty of similar bands since the late '00s, for instance Mausoleum, Bonesaw, Anatomia or Repuked just to mention a few, but not many of them focused on the heavy, demoralizing slow downs that gave one of the most determining features and basically the core essence of old Autopsy. From the mentioned names, probably Anatomia relied on them the most. Cryptic Brood also successfully mastered the combination of old school death metal and doom influenced slow downs, therefore their name kinda stands out from the ever growing list of Autopsy rip-off bands. For those who missed the essentially sick feeling of old Autopsy or didn't find it sufficient enough at other new waved old school death metal bands, Cryptic Brood might be an excellent pick. Especially because even if the strongly direct influence is quite evident and the themes sounding pretty familiar, the band managed to not simply copy-paste riffs and they also didn't fall into repetitiveness. Like their music is not sounding like an AI generated rip-off like in case of bands like Gruesome or Skeletal Remains. The switches from old school hammering to slow downs have been done diversely and the sickening melodies are also as effective as they should be, guiding the listener straight into the depths of rotting filth.
