Tech death maniacs Psycroptic are set to release their new album The Pulse Of Annihilation on July 17 through Metal Blade Records. The band have also released a new single “Gathering a Venomous Herd” along with a video directed and edited by Robert Brens.
Watch the official video for “Gathering a Venomous Herd” on YouTube:
Guitarist and principal songwriter Joe Haley shares his thoughts:
“’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 Pycroptic. I feel this is our most epic, thrashing, technical, while grooviest release yet.”
Bassist Todd Stern shares his thoughts:
“It’s a knuckle-dragger. I love when we can just cool out at this tempo. All my favorite Pycroptic 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.”
