"Dear Aliens,
After many years invested in the creation of our next album, we are very happy to announce the collaboration with the awesome label Season of Mist for its release! We experience this as a beautiful recognition of the energy and passion that we invest every day in this musical project that is Psygnosis. Thanks to them for their trust and enthusiasm. We are extremely proud of the new album! This may be our best album so far! You will still have to wait a little bit before listening to it, but we can't wait for you all to discover it. See you soon"
PSYGNOSISis a project started in 2009 by Rémi Vanhove, who was eager to gather all of his musical influences into one entity. A first solo EP, "Phrases", was released in June 2009 and lays the foundations ofPSYGNOSIS' music: an atmospheric extreme Metal with hints of electronic music. Rémi then surrounded himself with a second guitarist, a bassist and a singer, and continues to program the drums himself.
The first album "Anti-Sublime" was released in January 2012 and allowed the band to continue the artistic process started with "Phrases". This release also marked the first encounters of the quartet with the public. After the EP "Sublimation" in 2013, Psygnosis came out with a second album in 2014. "Human Be[ing]" shows that the band has gained in maturity, through better digested influences and compositions whose structures become more complex.
The year 2015 marks an important change forPSYGNOSIS: The band made the radical choice to become instrumental by recruiting Raphaël Verguin as a cellist. A first EP "AAliens" followed, followed up by the full length "Neptune" in 2017, an ambitious opus of one hour and seventeen minutes inviting the listeners to travel to the ends of the Solar System.
Despite the instrumental aspect,PSYGNOSIScontinues to assert its first intention: that of a Metal mixing nervous riffs, blast beats and atmospheric ambiences. The meeting of Rémi and Raphaël with the guitarist Elise Masliah and the drummer Thomas Crémier enables the quartet to stabilize its formation and to defend on stagePSYGNOSIS' intense and emotional music.
The pandemic gave the band time to work serenely on their new album, which will be released via Season of Mist later this year.
