Psycroptic are back with a brand new studio album, “Divine Council”, due for release on August 5th, 2022, via Prosthetic Records. The first single, “Rend Asunder”, is streaming everywhere, and it is accompanied by a music video, filmed in Tasmania earlier this year, which you can watch below.
“Divine Council” sees the Australian band ready to push their creative boundaries in new ways as part of their ethos to always keep things fresh – both for themselves and their listeners. The new opus oozes confidence, maturity and a relaxed self assurance befitting of a band with a rich legacy behind them and an unconstrained future ahead.
Brothers Dave Haley (drums) and Joe Haley (guitar) have steered Psycroptic through different shades of death metal – from the technical to the experimental. Vocalist and lyricist, Jason Peppiatt, and bassist Todd Stern have further embellished the sound of the band over the years. On “Divine Council” they are joined by Jason Keyser of Origin, who contributes vocals throughout the album, bringing a new facet to their sound. The incredible artwork was painted by Eliran Kantor.
Available to order now on CD and in multiple colour-ways on vinyl, “Divine Council” will remind you why Psycroptic are still dominating two decades since their inception.
