PSYCROPTIC ANNOUNCE NAME OF NEW RECORD

Psycroptic’s new record will be only released this fall but they have announced that the title will be Ob(Servant). Says drummer Dave Haley: “Ob(Servant) is definitely our finest hour (well, finest 49 minutes and 49 seconds anyway). It’s of course a cliché of every band to say that their newest album is their best and so on, but we are very proud of what we have done on this album. The writing process was a little different for this album, with Joe (guitarist) writing pretty much all the material. This gives the album a very coheisive and flowing feel, and this album is definatley our most diverse material thus far. The artwork is also amazing, having been completed by Raymand Swanland (DEEDS OF FLESH). Those not familiar with his work should check it out – you will be amazed!”
