Clear Vinyl. More than two decades deep, and preparing to release their eighth studio album, PSYCROPTIC are in fine fettle.

The follow up to 2018's As The Kingdom Drowns is on the horizon, and Divine Council sees the Australian band ready to push their creative boundaries in new ways as part of their ethos to always keep things fresh - both for themselves and their listeners.

Brothers Dave Haley (drums) and Joe Haley (guitar), have steered PSYCROPTIC through different shades of death metal, from the technical to the experimental.

Longtime vocalist and lyricist Jason Peppiatt and bassist Todd Stern have further embellished the sound of the band, helping to create something that is distinctively PSYCROPTIC even as it evolves.

Their years on the road performing with the likes of Archspire, Misery Index, Nile and Dismember not only helped refine their sound, it opened them up to a wider network of potential collaborators that has truly borne fruit on Divine Council.
