PSYCROPTIC: Video Interview With JASON PEPPIATT Available

September 8, 2008

Metal Injection has posted an interview (see below) with vocalist Jason Peppiatt of Tasmanian tech-death masters 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 recently uploaded a brand new track, "Immortal Army of One", to its MySpace page. The song comes off 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.

Commented drummer Dave Haley: "'Immortal Army of One' is one of my personal favorites on 'Ob(servant)'. The riffs on it are catchy as hell and stick in your head, and it is a very brutal song. Yet, it has a lot of dynamics throughout and is quite technical. It's very PSYCROPTIC-sounding, yet there are a lot of new sounds and ideas introduced. Just an all-around cool track both to listen to and play. Lyrically, the song explores the the idea of a suicidal god like being — one who has omnipotence yet wants to relinquish it. A twisted thought — a being who has the choice to do anything desired, except giving up such a power; all-powerful yet powerless at the same time."

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.
