Psycroptic is back with a new single called "Architects Of Extinction", their first effort on Metal Blade Records. The single precedes Psycroptic's new record, whcih they're finishing up now and should hopefully be out soon enough. Because personally, I need more technical death metal in my life.
Psycroptic guitarist Joe Haley said of the signing and new record: "Having grown up listening to countless amazing bands on the Metal Blade roster, the label had a big impact on shaping who we are as musicians, essentially becoming an integral part of our creative DNA.
"From the early days of picking up our instruments to finding our own sound as a band, Metal Blade has always represented the pinnacle of heavy music and a place where groundbreaking artists are created and thrive. So, we're beyond honored to announce that we're officially joining the Metal Blade family — a surreal and humbling moment for all of us in Psycroptic.
"We're currently in the final stages of finishing our new album, and we can't wait to share what we've been working on. To kick off this awesome new chapter on the right note, we're dropping our brand-new single, 'Architects Of Extinction.' Enjoy."
Added Psycroptic bassist Todd Stern: "As Psycroptic prepares to release our ninth full-length studio album, we couldn't be more excited about the fact that we've joined forces with the one and only Metal Blade Records, who will be handling its release. We feel that at this point in our career, both the timing and the fit are seemingly perfect. Metal Blade and its roster have always been exceptional, and we are very grateful and humbled to join such a legendary list of artists that have been part of the label's family throughout the ages.
"We are adding the final touches on our next record, but in the meantime, we have something savory prepared: a dense, hard-hitting single entitled 'Architects Of Extinction.' Get ready for the golden age of Tasmania's most prolific metal band!"
