About

PSYCROPTIC IN CONCERT:

Tasmanian tech death metal outfit Psycroptic has been lauded for the exactitude and virtuosity of their recordings, but there's nothing like seeing these rockers from Down Under serve up their surgically precise sound in concert. At their adrenaline-filled live shows Psycroptic takes the stage beneath their trippy logo and other cryptic insignia, whipping ticket buyers into a frenzy with razor-sharp performances of their intricate and heavy songs. With their shirts off and their long hair flying, frontman Jason Peppiatt and bassist Cameron Grant are the perfect visual embodiment of the band's powerful sound. Meanwhile guitarist Joe Haley and drummer Dave Haley serve up mind-blowing riffs and beats, bringing a focused intensity to the table that underscores just how insanely complex the band's songs are. Ticket buyers looking for an all-out metal spectacle and a master class in first-rate musicianship will enjoy both any time Psycroptic tears it up in concert.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Psycroptic was formed in Hobart, Tasmania in 1999 by former members of the band Disseminate. They made their debut the following year, using funds from the Tasmanian Council of the Arts to record and release their first LP The Isle of Enchantment. In 2003 they followed up with their sophomore album The Scepter of the Ancients, which they supported on their first full Australian tour with American metal outfit Incantation. After a 2004 European tour alongside Swedish bands Dismember and Anata, Psycroptic returned to the studio to record their third album, 2006's Symbols of Failure. Since then they've toured tirelessly and released several acclaimed records, including a self-titled 2015 LP that landed on the Australian charts.

    Gods in a humble hovel

    by alccode on 2010-12-06Sneaky Dee's - Toronto

    First, I have to admit, I didn't stay to see Psycroptic. My only focus for this event was to see Keep of Kalessin, a Norwegian black/symphonic/extreme metal band that was one of the associated acts. It was and still is just shocking to me that a band that enjoys celebrity status in their homeland, and has played in front of large crowds, was piddling about in a tiny, obscure, and somewhat dirty 2nd floor space of a restaurant/bar in Toronto. Even more so considering that there were probably only a handful of die-hard fans there who really knew about Kalessin and came just to see them. (But you can bet we were all in the very front!) On the flipside, one benefit of this was that I could actually approach the guys and talk to them before they played. They were really nice guys, totally awesome, and I enjoyed our conversation. About the actual act -- the energy was very high, and the crowd was definitely into it as far as I could tell, since I was in front and didn't look back too often. The band was also entirely into it, and I can't rule out that they enjoyed playing at Sneaky Dee's precisely because the venue was so small and so much more intimate. You could just reach out and touch them, though of course no one did so as to not disturb their performance. Can't say too much other than that. Awesome head-banging night. My neck was definitely sore the day after. Can't wait to see them again, which from my chat with them will probably be next spring. Raaagh!
