PSYCHO SPOON, the "raw rock and roll" band formed by Pete Hammoura, ex-drummer and founding member of the South Carolina death metal band NILE, has tapped NILE mainman Karl Sanders to produce the group's debut album. Entitled "Incognito", the recording sessions for the CD will begin in January, with a scheduled release date of April 2013. Grammy Award-winning producer Neil Kernon (JUDAS PRIEST, QUEENSRŸCHE, NEVERMORE, NILE) will mix and master the effort.

PSYCHO SPOON was formed in the fall of 2009 by longtime friends and musical collaborators Rick Ballenger (vocals) and Hammoura. They had a clear vision of what they wanted to accomplish with this band, and that was to play rock and roll from the heart. Five songs were written in a short period of time, at which point the band entered the studio to lay down the tracks.

PSYCHO SPOON's goal as a band is to continue writing songs and playing to live audiences as often as possible because they are very much a live audience band. You'll be able to tell that they love what they do from the moment they hit the stage. Their purpose is "to lay down pure, live rock and roll!"
