PSYGNOSIS make a distinctly progressive type of death metal.

For one, the French band doesn’t have a vocalist, instead, they’ve got a cellist.

This heady configuration tempers ‘Mercury’ with a sublime beauty.

Their first album for Season of Mist is full of wide, sweeping vistas that are spiked with metallic muscle, but also, ringed with deep sensitivity.

It’s an eye-opening panorama and a breath of fresh air for death metal.

 

For fans of NE OBLIVISCARIS, OPETH, PERSEFONE, DYSRHYTHMIA.
