PSYOPUS NEWS

Check out Psyopus at this months magazine stand - Psyopus' offical signing with Metal Blade is mentioned in Revolver, we were voted #7 album of the year in Decibel and are mentioned in Alternative Press' top 100 bands to be on the watch for this year.

The anticipated video for "The White Light" is finally complete thanks to Justin Zangerle and the staff over at Optical Alchimists. A link to this video can be found in the VIDEO section. A live show from last summers Columbus, OH show is still in the works.

To all practioners of metal,

Jesus Christ last month was fun! We had a shit load of CRAZY fucking shows! Dayton, TN was off the fucking wall. Pittsburgh, PA turned into a living room show from HELL! We'd like to thank Knife the Glitter and The Network for being killer tour buddies. We had a blast jamming with these kats. Pittsburgh, PA and Buffalo, NY were witness to the unleashing of a new song, . . . tentitively entitled, "Bury Your Head in the Dirt", . . . I hope we change that name.

Well, we'll be embarking on yet another tour this Saturday 2/12. We'll be joining with THE END OF THE UNVERSE (ex- Converge, ex- Jesuit, Chainsaw Safety Records) for two shows, one being at New York City's own CBGB's. Then we'll be working our way towards the west coast for some LONG awaited dates out in that direction. We'll be sharing about a weeks worth of dates with the band His Irate Life (El Cajon/San Diego, CA). Many of the dates are still being finalized so, we'll try to keep you up to date. You can also check our website for any future news.

Till then, I have been away from my home of Rochester, NY spending time in PA at our drummer house. We are working on new material and getting our chops on point. Psyched to hit the west coast! See you on the road, . . . bring food, . . . we're ALWAYS HUNGRY!

PSYOPUS "IDEAS OF REFERENCE" REVIEW - sceneitall.net

Psyopus - Ideas of Reference - 2004

Some of you may be wondering, who the hell is Psyopus? Well, I was lucky enough to have had the pleasure to hear a few tracks of theirs before most people had ever heard of htem thanks to a guitar playing friend of mine who gave me the heads up when he said it was some of the best, craziest stuff he's heard in awhile. Hailing from Rochester, New York, these guys play technical hardcore with a flair for intricate guitar parts that seem to come from nowhere and disappear almost as fast.

Technical hardcore has always amazed me, ever since being introduced to Dillinger Escape Plan. That being said, any fan of DEP will love this album. It reminds me of DEP with Dmitri, the sheer craziness of it all, the guitar and drums at blistering speeds. However, they are not a blatant rip off. Songs like "Death, I" showcase their love for melody in the guitars while "Bones to Dust" is a great closer, not slowing down a bit. There is absolutely no filler on this CD, every track is great and should be listened to. Vocally, their is nothing really special besides the same screaming we all know and obviously love. But in every other are, it shines through all the wanna bes and is paving the way for more tech bands to come. Bottom line: Check them out and tell everyone about them.
