Black Market Activities is proud to announce we have signed the
technical grind-metal band, Psyopus. The band just completed the
recording of their forthcoming debut full-length Ideas of Reference at
Watchmen Studios with engineer Doug White (Earth Crisis, Buried Alive,
Kalibas). Hailing from Rochester, NY Psyopus take some lessons from
their local predecessor, Lethargy but then step things up to an
unparalleled and somewhat indescribable level. The band sounds like a
combination of tech-metal, video game music and over-the-top shred
metal. Driven by amazing, circus-styled, guitar-wizardry, machine-gun
drumming and harsh vocals, engineer, Doug White might have said it best
by comparing Psyopus to "Burnt by the Sun on crack but with more
classical guitar influence". Any further comparison would probably be a
great injustice to the band's unique style. Drummer Greg Herman was
clocked at a remarkable 225 bpm in the studio. Look for the disc to
street in March 2003 and an mp3 from the new album will be posted on
the Black Market Activities site within the week. For those interested
in booking the band, contact them at psyopus@hotmail.com.
In the meantime, catch the band this Saturday in Massachusetts or
12/19-12/23 on the road with Ion Dissonance.
11/29 Worcester, MA @ Club Marquee w/ Beyond the Sixth Seal, Ion Dissonance www.psyopus.com
