Tasmania’s Psycroptic has joined forces with Destroy All Lines Agency for all Australian bookings and to celebrate, this August they will take a break from the studio to get back out on the road to play their only remaining shows of 2024! The legendary metal pioneers are currently hard at work ensuring their ninth full-length album, the follow up to 2022’s brilliant Divine Council, will be their most refined and fierce work yet. Catch them headlining the Necrosonic and Electric Eye Heavy Fests in Brisbane and Perth, and stay tuned for stacked line-ups of killer all-Australian supports on their own headline shows.
Formed in Hobart in 1999, Psycroptic is indisputable in their legendary status as leaders of forward-thinking extreme metal. Rooted in technical death metal, recent records have seen the band explore many avenues of adjacent sounds to carry their unique identity to absolutely mind-melting heights. With brothers Dave and Joe Haley the creative core of the band since its inception, vocalist Jason Peppiat and bassist Todd Stern round out their most formidable form, and an endless devotion to technical wizardry and clever songwriting has seen the unit become a staple of the global circuit, having torn it up all around the world with acts such as Carcass, Whitechapel, Obituary, Aborted, Archspire, Thy Art Is Murder, and countless other iconic names, while releasing records through heavy metal institutions Willowtip, Nuclear Blast, and Prosthetic Records. With 2022’s spellbinding Divine Council album now firmly behind them, the band is presently hard at work on ensuring their ninth full-length leaves all that have come before in the dust.
