Psycroptic Premiere "Gathering A Venomous Herd”

Technical death metal vets PSYCROPTIC have premiered a music video for "Gathering A Venomous Herd," the first single from their upcoming Metal Blade Records debut LP The Pulse of Annihilation. The self-produced record will drop on July 17th followed by tour dates throughout Australia and Japan, alongside labelmates Rivers Of Nihil.

“The Pulse Of Annihilation is the culmination of everything that has come before,” remarks vocalist Joe Haley. “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.”

“This one’s a tricky one and total wrist splitter,” Haley comments on the track, “It’s a mega non-stop riff fest.”

“It’s a knuckle-dragger,” agrees bassist Todd Stern, “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.”
