Psygnosis is a Progressive Extreme Metal band, born at Mâcon (Burgundy, France), with the idea of "making music without barriers", mixing electronic with extreme metal. Psygnosis is a band without drummer and singer but with a Cello!
Psygnosis make the apology of Freedom. As the perfect combination of Pink Floyd, Meshuggah, Aphex Twin and Origin, this French band erases the rules of music to create his own progressive extreme metal. The guitars, sometimes nervous or epic, are accompanied by the cello which gives a particular color to the Psygnosis music. Intelligent and powerful, introspective and cathartic, you will not be indifferent !
The band have a heavy electronic element as part of their sound, but not in the sense of some random conflagration of rave synths finding their way into the midst of things like some shoehorned-in musical experiment turned Lovecraftian horror. Instead, the band are playing with the multi-headed hydra of the current death metal scenes, combining many genres into one — like much of what the Subliminal Groove record label’s slate of artists are beginning to do. They are also a four-piece, meaning that things are kept relatively sleek as well.
Psygnosis is a relatively new and not very well known band and that's a shame 'cause those French youngsters have already a lot to offer. If you're open-minded and willing to discover a band that joggles different genres, mixes in electronics, samples or even creates music around movie scenes and does it extremely well.
They have released already 2 Full-Length Álbuns and 3 EP's. The new EP AAliens is out the 13th day of September.
It’s a fascinating band, with many different things happening at once and pulling in many different directions, utilizing the dead space between musical notes to the fullest while being stitched together by furious blast runs and various multimedia samples, like a futuristic and industrial-fueled Frankenstein’s monster.
