PSYOPUS Announces New Singer
September 27, 2008Rochester, New York-based tech grindcore/hardcore outfit PSYOPUS has issued the following update:
"PSYOPUS is long overdue and happy to announce new vocalist Brian Woodruff into the band. If you've seen PSYOPUS at all since the beginning of our Grinding Into Cataclysm tour that began in August, you may have noticed the new face on the stage. Well… Here is the explanation. After Harrison Christie's announced replacement, Matt Duckbirth, flaked out shortly after our press release of his joining the band, we replaced him with Brian. Brian was known as the vocalist from the Binghamton/Rochester, NY band AS THIS BODY, I EXIST. We worked with him intensely, brought him into the studio and recorded the new album. This album was recorded with Brian. VERY shortly thereafter, we jumped in the van and headed out for tour with WAR FROM A HARLOTS MOUTH, FUCK THE FACTS and LEFT TO VANISH. Again, after the premature press release that Matt was joining our band, we wanted to make sure that Brian was indeed the kat for the band before we made it 'official.' We are now here to say that he is indeed the kat for the job. Be prepared for a notch up in the vocal brutality of PSYOPUS."
Metal Injection contributor Metal Nick has posted video footage of PSYOPUS performing the new track "The Burning Halo" at KC's in Fredericksburg, Virginia on September 14, 2008. Watch the clip below.
PSYOPUS's as-yet-untitled new album was recorded between July 20 and August 16 with engineer Doug White at Watchmen Studios in Lockport, New York.
PSYOPUS's most recent CD, "Our Puzzling Encounters Considered", was released in February 2007 via Metal Blade Records.
