News : Psycroptic streaming entire new album

By on January 31, 2012

Undoubtedly one of the biggest metal bands to come out of Australia, Tasmania’s Psycroptic are getting closer to releasing their fifth studio album The Inherited Repression, one which is bound to be in many “Best albums of 2012” articles.

Guitarist Joe Haley said the following about the new release: “The Inherited Repression is far and away my favorite Psycroptic album thus far. All of us in the band think this. It’s the age-old cliché from bands when they talk about their current album as being the best of their career, blah, blah, but I have to say it because it’s true. We wouldn’t think there is a point of going on if we couldn’t outdo each album prior. We are certainly not playing music for anything else than the love of creating it and performing it.”

He added: “The Inherited Repression is quite different from anything we have done in terms of song writing and structure, and we spent a lot longer writing and demoing the songs before we recorded it, which you can tell. It’s a very dynamic album – the fast elements faster, the slow elements slower, and a lot of light and dark binding it together. It’s a very catchy album as well – you can tap your foot, bang your head or anything else you want. Basically it has a lot of groove on it from start to finish.”

But, the wait is essentially over. Guitarworld.com are currently streaming the release from start to finish, so head over here and give it a listen. The album is out Feb 7th through Nuclear Blast.
