Psycroptic announce new album ‘The Pulse Of Annihilation’
PSYCROPTIC have announced a brand new album!
The Tasmanian technical death metal titans have revealed that their new album, The Pulse Of Annihilation, is set for release on July 17th via Metal Blade Records. The upcoming record follows on from 2022’s Divine Council and marks their first release for the iconic label.
Speaking on the new album, guitarist Joe Haley shares, “The Pulse Of Annihilation is the culmination of everything that has come before. We never force anything stylistically and just let the songs manifest of their own accord – maintaining progression while remaining very much PSYCROPTIC. I feel this is our most epic, thrashing, technical while grooviest release yet.”
Coinciding with the announcement, the band have released a brand new single, Gathering A Venomous Herd, offering a first taste of the album’s direction. Speaking about the new single, Haley adds, “this one’s a tricky one and total wrist splitter. It’s a mega non-stop riff fest.”
Bassist Todd Stern adds, “it’s a knuckle-dragger. I love when we can just cool out at this tempo. All my favorite PSYCROPTIC songs have this kind of ‘bounce’ to them that allows for just endless head-banging and leaves room for massive vocal passages, plus there’s that noodley section in the middle with the guitar ring out… Meathead Monday.”
