Since their formation in 1999, the band have constantly evolved and broken through the boundaries that the genre can sometimes impose upon itself.

With the release of their seventh studio album, `As The Kingdom Drowns', an album of riff-filled, technical ecstasy, Psycroptic just may have outdone the devil.

Formed by brothers Dave and Joe Haley, Psycroptic have always lived in that very small space between technical and metal.

The over the top insanity peaked with their sophomore album, 2006's Symbols of Failure.

From there the band looked to smooth things out a bit, whether it was with some ambience or industrial elements in 2008's Ob(Servant) or focusing in on the groove on 2012's, The Inherited Repression.

2015's Psycroptic seemed to encompass all that the band had done, so where does one go from there? For the band, it was somewhat easy.

D. Haley adds, "It's always a challenge to continue to evolve as a band, while staying true to the path you've chosen to walk on.

With As The Kingdom Drowns we all pushed each other outside of our usual comfort zones, and didn't settle for the easy way out.

I'm super proud of everyone's hard work and dedication to the project; it turned out to be one hell of a catchy riff filled album."
