PSYCROPTIC: Darwin Show Postponed

September 20, 2008

Tasmanian tech-death masters PSYCROPTIC have been forced to postpone their previously announced October 17 concert in Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory, Australia, due to "unforeseen circumstances."

Commented PSYCROPTIC drummer Dave Haley: "Everything was done by our management team and ourselves to ensure that this show would go ahead. As an extreme metal band, to say that were majorly excited to be playing in Darwin, not just for the first time but at all, would be a massive understatement, definitely something we never thought would happen. PSYCROPTIC has always been as loyal to its fans as they are to it and we will make this up to our Darwin fans as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding."

PSYCROPTIC recently uploaded another new track, "Ob(Servant)", to its MySpace page. The song is the title cut of the group's fourth album, "Ob(Servant)", which is scheduled for release in Europe on September 26 and in North America on October 14 via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2006's "Symbols of Failure" was mixed and mastered by former MACHINE HEAD and SOULFLY guitarist Logan Mader (DIVINE HERESY, GOJIRA) and was recorded once again by guitarist Joe Haley. The album will include a free bonus DVD featuring a studio diary as well as performance footage from a 2006 gig in Amsterdam, Netherlands and 2008 concert in Wellington, New Zealand. The free bonus DVD will run approximately 85 minutes.

Metal Injection recently posted an interview (see below) with vocalist Jason Peppiatt of PSYCROPTIC, filmed during the Summer Slaughter 2008 tour. Jason discusses the scene in Tasmania and Australia, the band's first time being in America, writing the new album, "Ob(Servant)", the physics of toilet flushing and more.

PSYCROPTIC's third full-length album, "Symbols of Failure", was released in February 2006 via Neurotic Records. The follow-up of 2003's "The Scepter of the Ancients" marked the recording debut of Jason Peppiatt.
